Earlier today, I was a guest on Great Day Houston, a television talk show hosted by Deborah Duncan. I talked to Deborah about my book, The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions.

We also chatted about the origins of various well-known superstitions. For instance, why is it considered bad luck to walk under a ladder? Deborah is a great interviewer, and I had a fantastic time appearing on the show!

If you missed the initial airing of my interview segment this morning, you can watch the GDH interview in its entirety HERE (it starts after the commercial).

BTW, The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions is out now from Quarto Publishing’s Wellfleet Press imprint. You can buy a copy HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
