Episode 9: A tour of Omaha graves, a seance, a haunted campus

Guest Erika Hall joins us to discuss Omaha's strange obsession with massive private fireworks shows, what it's like to march in a July 4 parade dressed like Dolly Parton, various sorts of urban wildlife, and top-shelf moonshine.

With special guest playwright Beaufield Berry. We discuss her play "Pyscho Ex-Girlfriend," some recent adventures she has had with transportation, a commercial Bunny made set during the Korean war, and the rerelease of the cult classic book "Chocolates for Breakfast," which Bunny had a susprising hand in.

Guest Tim Siragusa joins Bunny and Coco to discuss horror-themed plays, doing terrible things in new bars, and the unexpected animals that live near Bunny and Coco.

Bunny and Coco return with guest Teri Fender. This week they discuss trains, hobos, flapper drinks, and the weather.

Bunny and Coco talk with Omaha filmmaker Matthew Eledge about his short "St. Lucys Home for Girls Raised by Wolves." Artist, playwright and performer Tim Siragusa gives a tour of the Hot Shops "Pulled from the Matrix" regional printmaker show. Plus: Help us build an audience!

Bunny and Coco visit the supposedly haunted Lynch Park, look at dogs in costumes, attend a collection of Poe stories staged like a haunted house, and puzzle about a photo of a robot in Council Bluffs.

Bunny and Coco attended the local filmmakers show at Film Streams and talk to filmmaker Charles Fairbanks, who directed a documentary about Mexican wrestling. They also watch a production of The Bad Seed starring Stella Ehrhart, a third-grader who has made national news for dressing as a historical woman almost every single schoolday; she explains her fashion choices. The pair interview author David P. Murphy, who writes books about (and for!) zombies. And, finally, Bunny and Coco try to get to the bottom of the legend of a haunted staircase at Hummel Park.

Bunny and Coco visit The Black Angel, and imposing (and supposedly haunted) sculpture in a Council Bluffs cemetery. Also: vanity license plates, more scalps, and a group of Omaha artists put on The Sh*tshow, a collection of underground and subersive pieces that also works as a rather wild party. Finally, a puzzled bulldog.

Bunny and Coco visit the General Crook House Museum on the Fort Dodge campus of Metro Community College and try to find somebody who can confirm rumors of its hauntings; they accompany the Douglas County Historical Society on a tour of area graveyards; they watch tracks get repaired and they rescue an unwilling opossum.

Bunny and Coco march in the River City Roundup Parade, and then a whole series of Halloween events: A visit to a barbershop decorated with memorabilia from a 1970s horror host, a zombie calendar girl, and a walk through a haunted house with Kyra Schon and George Kosana of "Night of the Living Dead."
