Cryptopedia - A Paranormal Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Mothman - Cryptopedia Book Club - 52 Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

An actual Robin: "Holy paranoia Mothman, Cryptopedia is a year old! What do we do now?!"

Mothman: "Squeak"

That's right actual robin, we've been doing this thing for a year, so a book was read for this episode. While it's no John Yells For an Hour, emotions definitely run high. Also, we totally escaped that bunker thing we were in for a while during all of those area 51 memes. I bet you thought we forgot about that whole bit.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and listenership!

We're now announcing now that we're switching Cryptopedia to an every other week schedule for the forseeable future. This is to give both Brandon and John a little more breathing room on episodes, but there's a full explanation at the end of the podcast.

Thank you,

Brandon and John

Brandon got his eyes checked, which is super related to this week’s subject. Also I’m pretty sure his doctor is a transhumanist.
