Behind the Scenes of “Spoonful of Sugar” (Preview)

A Halloween treat from the Outlaw’s Digest Patreon, for all of our listeners!

For every episode of Outlaw’s Digest, host KC rounds up with the producers to talk about how the story came together. This is a short sample of the full conversation.

This week, producers Carl and Nicki chat with KC about what’s sticking with them from the history of Pixy Stix. Inspired by KC’s dad, they mourn the loss of downhome treats from a past age of Halloween, before the holiday was overtaken by fears of poisoned candy. Plus, the whole team gets together to solve a spooky candy mystery of our own.

Outlaw’s Digest is a fully independent production, made by KC and the Good Egg team. It’s a show we love making and there’s lots more to come, but we’ll need listener support to keep the show running long-term.

So, if you’ve loved listening to the first few episodes, we would love your support. Become a backer of the project on the Outlaw’s Digest Patreon.

For just $10 a month, you’ll keep us well fed as we bring you more stories of true crime from food history. And we won’t leave you empty-handed! With every episode we produce, you’ll also get behind-the-scenes chats, the full interview with our guests, and some great extra goodies. Plus, you can send in your questions and chat with the production team!
