Halloween celebrated as a night of costumes, pumpkins and sweets, didn't start that way. It grew slowly over hundreds of years, shaped by old harvest customs, church traditions, folk stories and, in the end, plenty of shopping. This episode traces how it became the celebration so many people know today. Some of what feels ancient turns out to be much newer than you'd expect, and some of the history is still debated. We also look at how it's seen in Nigeria, where some people like it and others want nothing to do with it.

The Cost of People Pleasing
You said yes to something and you didn't mean it. And now you're stuck with the choice and you're not happy with yourself. Most people know the feeling, but few of us ask what it's costing us. This episode checks the cost. And it includes some of what you lose without noticing, and a surprising reason why your constant "yes" might not be winning you the love you think it is. We also look at why saying no can feel almost forbidden in so many Nigerian homes. Then we give you practical ways to tell whether you're being kind or just keeping the peace also tell you practical ways to break the habit of people people.

How a Touchscreen Works
You put on a thick glove on and try to operate your phone and nothing happens. You take it off, and you're able to use the phone straight away. Why? Not because your phone can feel you at all. It only feels electricity. In this episode we work out how a sheet of glass knows where your finger is. We also look at why Samsung's S Pen and the Apple Pencil and how they work. And we deal with the belief that a touchscreen phone needs blood of life to work. Spoiler: it doesn't, and there's a simple test you can try at home with a pencil and some foil.
