Once again, today’s program will be presented on a special ghost-to-ghost network. And be­cause this Halloween broadcast will be, as usual, too scary to do alone, Chuck will be joined by Ken Alexander, who, in addition to helping with the show, has offered to provide refreshments such as Ghost Toasties, Scream of Wheat, and Shrouded Ralston. Don’t miss it if you can!
