About this podcast
Each week, Why We Bust introduces you to the charitable side of Ghostbusters! Hear from people all over the world about why they put on a jumpsuit and proton pack to raise money for charity. Presented by The Windy City Ghostbusters, we dive deep into our guest’s love of everyone’s favorite paranormal comedy movies, and how they’ve become possessed by a Class 2 charitable spirit. The Ghostbusters movie franchise has spontaneously spawned over 200 charity groups across the world, and the Why We Bust podcast is hoping to find the answer to how a screwball comedy from the 80’s breeds so much generosity amongst its fanbase. So fry some eggs on your countertop, plug in your dancing toaster, and don’t cross the streams as you listen to some positively-charged fun!
