Description

Summary of Episode 

“Phrogging” (sounds like “frogging”) refers to the act of living in someone’s home without their knowledge or permission. It is not the same as squatting, and – in many ways – phrogging is much, much creepier. In the first of a two-part series on the subject, the Escape Pod co-hosts discuss a handful of phreaky phrogging incidents that might have you checking your closets. Twice.
