The Echoes of Fear Podcast

12/05/2025

The Holidays. Like it or not… they come every year, with their endless parade of pressures and obligations for many. But what about the people who feel terror at the thought of them? In this final episode of 2025 (don’t worry, it’s just a hiatus!) Kenton tackles that very question with some discussion the various phobias that exist around the holidays, and how everything from capitalism to pop culture contributes.

Be safe, listeners. Have a great 2025 Holiday season, and we’ll be back in 2026 to talk more about what scares you!

In this final episode before the Holiday hiatus, once more solo, Kenton tackles the Fear of Holidays and Christmas itself. Just TRY to pronounce it... Christougenniatikophobia. Talk to you in 2026, listeners!

Some people love being alone. At least for a time. But for others, even the thought of isolation in its many forms can instill crippling anxiety that affects everyday life and relationships.

Welcome to Autophobia - the Fear of Being Alone, an episode where (ironically) Kenton is without his awesome co-host due to production schedule conflicts!

Let’s talk about what scares you!

In his first-ever SOLO episode, Kenton holds the fort down while Jason works through his SUPER busy schedule of awesome documentaries! How ironic that the topic in question is the Fear of Being Alone?

Today is a pretty big day for me behind the microphone… recording my second Moore about Storytelling interview, and my first SOLO Echoes of Fear episode with Jason being so busy making epic film documentaries. It’s a lot of fun podcasting and doing all this audio work… but it reminds me of another life I use to live where I spent a lot of time behind a mic for a very different reason.

So… in the spirit of self-deprecating humour, I share with you this gem from the forgotten corners of YouTube… 19 Years ago… y’all ready to rock? 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoy!! And don’t forget to catch up on The Echoes of Fear Podcast season 2. New episode drops this Friday!!

Kenton M. sings BREAKDOWN and qualifies in week #2

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” - Arthur C. Clarke

And there you have it folks. The perfect summation of the fear of life from other worlds. Join Jason and Kenton as they explore Xenophobia in the amazing episode, which is Kenton’s favourite they have released to date!!

No, we're not talking about illegal aliens, though we do mention that. This week, Jason and Kenton explore the fear of the creatures from outer space and the mountain of pop culture that surrounds them.

Snow. Most of us up here in the Great White North have a love-hate relationship with it… but did you know that for some, it’s a paralyzing fear? Even the thought of it can cause panic attacks, refusal to leave one’s house, or even moving away from all environments where they may encounter it.

Join Jason and I on our latest adventure as we explore Chionophobia - Fear of Snow and Snowy conditions!!

Canada. The Great White North, as some call it. However, did you know that there is a fairly common phobia of severe weather that causes people to be terrified of snow? Jason and Kenton discuss Chionophobia in this week's episode.

We’ve both been soooooo busy. 😊

Fear. A primal emotion. Phobia. A word coined in the late 1700s to describe a “severe and often irrational fear” of a preceding element. Some phobias are common, like nyctophobia – fear of the dark. Others are extremely rare, such as arachibutyrophobia – t...

I woke and looked out my window this morning. Across the valley, there is only fog. It’s a haunting sight in the low light, vapour seeping through the trees, the distant promise of sunrise barely colouring the sky. It’s Halloween… and do you know what that means?
