Has trick-or-treating lost its magic? Michael Smerconish talks with Halloween historian Lesley Bannatyne about how America’s favorite spooky tradition has changed—from door-to-door adventures to church parking lots and “trunk-or-treats.” They explore what this says about our communities, our fears, and how Halloween mirrors who we’ve become. A nostalgic and insightful look at the holiday that once brought every neighborhood together. Original air date 31 October 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
