Cryptopedia – A Paranormal Podcast

Cryptopedia is an exploration of the myths and legends that haunt the human mind. Each week Brandon and John will take you on a journey exploring the mysteries of the world, tackling the tales with a dash of skepticism and an extra helping of humor.

Latest Episodes:

Mokele-Mbembe (1) - John’s Angry Place - 92 May 03, 2021

Show notes

It's been 76 episodes since John has done a living dinosaur episode, so strap in because he doesn't even make it past the 1930s on this one before he starts to meltdown. Brandon gets ready for wallet crimes and having an excuse to tell dad jokes.

Pennsylvania’s White Bigfoot - Brandon’s Original Thought - 88 Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

This week Brandon utters a unique phrase. Please note we say unique, not good for your mental health. Also, John talks about Bigfoot again.

Also, John meant normative sexual desire in the cold open, not "regular". Sexuality is a spectrum, and asexuality is a valid expression of one's sexuality.

It took us about 20 minutes to reach the monster this week, but we talked MMOs, so what do you expect? This week our monster is either Shrek or a Scooby-Doo villain.
