About this listen
Why are we so scared of bugs? 🕷️ In this episode, Roula and Rosie swap their creepiest encounters with spiders, cockroaches, and all things creepy-crawly. From huntsman spiders in Australia to cockroaches in Lebanon, they explore why bugs trigger such fear and disgust—and whether it’s about survival, biology, or just how weird they look compared to us.
If you’ve ever screamed at a spider on the ceiling or sprinted from a cockroach, you’ll relate.
