Episode 139: Heirloom Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

The way we treat the past is a great lens into the character of humanity. Sometimes we elevate it, but all too often we work to bury it. And while the excuse might be to make room for the march of progress, it also allows us to hide our worst mistakes and most painful tragedies.

Episode 138: Foresight Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Humanity has grown over the millennia by passing on knowledge through teachings and guides. Even today, how-to books are best-sellers, and people are more hungry than ever to learn and grow. But some lessons aren't worth passing on, and in a few cases, they've even been incredibly destructive.

Episode 137: Elusive Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

Our passion for solving incomplete puzzles is something that unites us as a culture. We will chase any mystery and dig into every single question we encounter. But that attraction might also put us in grave danger, if history is any indication.

Episode 136: The Third Time Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Folklore is our legacy. We humans have carried it with us everywhere we've gone in the world, and it anchors us to our roots and our community. But it also does something else: it gives us a place to hide our fear, to put it on a leash and control it. And there's one story in particular that does that better than most.

Episode 135: A Good Death Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

We like it when things go according to plan. Even when it comes to death, we long to have some semblance of control over our path. So when those best-laid plans are disrupted by the unexpected, it's only natural to assume the worst.

Show notes

Episode 134: Disturbing the Peace

There's nothing more certain in life than death. No matter how rewarding or challenging our days on this planet might be, for as long as humans have been around, we've viewed death as something akin to slumber, however natural or untimely it might be. But not all that sleep are left undisturbed.

Episode 133: Proof Positive Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

The human tendency to study the unknown—to dig deep and search for the bedrock of truth at the bottom of the mystery—is one of our most enduring qualities. But while that tenacity has helped scientists unlock much of our world, it has also led us to unusual ideas. And you'd be surprised what they recorded about it.

Episode 132: Puzzled Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

We all love a good hiding place. Whether it's the child who tucks the key to their diary under their pillow, or the parent who hides away the holiday gifts, humans have proven themselves to be fond of secret places. But if the stories are any indication, there's one place in England that was better than most at doing what we love.

Episode 131: Sea of Change Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

While the ocean represents opportunity and hope, it also holds more mystery than most feel comfortable with. Yes, we've explored it in search of new lands and discoveries, but we've also lost much in the process. Amazingly though, some things that are lost...occasionally return.

Episode 130: In Plain Sight Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Before cell phones and internet access, learning about the world around us took a lot of time. Along the way, there would be gaps in our knowledge—holes that human cultures tended to fill with folklore. And while the creatures they invented to fill those gaps were amazing, it's how close they often got to reality that makes those stories truly frightening.
