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:

Tanuki, Bake-Danuki - The Thrilling Tales of Tanuki - 72 Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

It was bound to happen eventually, John has started to dip from the well of Yōkai. We channel our podcasting roots in this episode when we talk about scrotum for nearly 30 minutes (it's surprisingly non sexual).

Jellyfish Anomaly of Petrozavodsk - Jelly Fishing - 70 Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

John got like 3 hours of sleep before recording this one and he's leading it. So buckle in, because Brandon just rolls with it.

Also the title of this episode has zero to do with the context of the episode, John used it as a placeholder and he thinks it was funny enough to keep.

Tiddy Mun - We Assure You Brandon and John Are Adults - 69 May 18, 2020

Show notes

We’re skipping episode 68, because this was the appropriate episode for 69 and John couldn’t prep an episode this week.
As the title suggests we can’t overstate that both Brandon and John are adults who own homes. Enjoy an hour and a half of us being serious adults.

Also brief correction for episode 65: Mongooses are not Mustelidae, so they aren't actually related to weasels. Whoops, thanks to our Patreon Bird Schneider on the Discord.

Show notes

This time Brandon and John plan the probable destruction of the human race with artificially selected nightmares, unsurprisingly this is not this week's Cryptid. Brandon leads research with this week about a particularly obscure creature and John attacks its body shamers.

Also John reads an... interesting story.
