Checking in? The secrets that a hotel can hold are nothing short of frightening. You never truly know who's in the room next door. Welcome to Hotel Hell where we talk about the notorious Cecil Hotel and the eerie Crescent Hotel.

We’re getting lunar, folks. In this episode, Matt asks Brandon what the moon is and why it gets bigger and smaller every month (it doesn’t). We’ll talk about how the moon formed, why its phases happen, and the etymology of the word “month”. #doubleSmokes!

South Carolinians are very familiar with their flag. 

The simple but well-loved combination of the indigo backdrop, the crescent and the palmetto tree is everywhere. It doesn't just hang from flag poles. It's on t-shirts and beer koozies and neckties. 

But not many people knew that the state actually hasn't had a standardized flag design for about 80 years.

That's why a group of historians set out to create an official design, based on the state's history and the flag's origins. After exhaustive research, they shared their final design choice with The Post and Courier. 

And . . . people hated it. 

Reporter Avery Wilks broke down for us why people disliked the design so much and what that might say about the state's connection to its flag. 

We also heard from Scott Malyerck, who was part of the committee that chose the design, about why they chose the design they did and how the deluge of criticism could actually be a good thing for their effort. 

Listen now to hear more about the flag design South Carolina can't stop talking about.
