This career goes back thousands and thousands of years and still persists today. While many enjoy clowns, there are just as many if not more, young and old, who find clowns to be absolutely terrifying. So where did clowns come from? Why are we so scared of them? Should we be scared of them? Let’s get into it. Today’s episode is all about clowns."

Don't worry, this isn't a Bigfoot debunking episode but it also isn't a deep dive into the lore of the Bigfoot either.
