Episode 356: Witch Doctor

With the spooky holiday on our doorstep an intelligent person, like you would never submit your friendships and relationships to the guidance of mysterious beings, would you? Of course not, me either. Back in 1958 though, things were different. The lyrics from one song claimed “My friend the witch doctor, he told me what to say. My friend the witch doctor he told me what to do.” What was the advice? If you remember the song you’re probably smiling right now.
