ATRD Ep. 244 - Scary College & Survival Stories
Summary
This episode features four distinct listener stories: a college student’s confusion over a "shooter" alert that turned out to be a girl having a severe drug trip, a child’s harrowing escape from a house fire to save a hamster, a freshman’s experience with an obsessive and violent RA, and a group stranded in a freezing cable car for hours. The narratives cover themes of misinterpreted emergencies, childhood trauma, stalking, and survival against the elements.
