Stay ConnectedA podcast about the paranormal, the credibility of the creepy, and the science of the spooky: Superduperstitious is a comedy podcast that looks at the mysterious and scary world of the weird and says, “Wait. What?” Hosts Wyatt Shell and Jake Withee use their science backgrounds to tease apart possible explanations for unexplained, supernatural, and otherwise strange phenomena.

Old Nick is back with some more stories to share, which can only mean JUDGEMENT TIME.
Wyatt does the duty of evaluating listener Nick’s submissions for quality, and unsurprisingly finds them wanting. Then, following an apology for being upsettingly punctual, Jake delivers instructions on how to perform a séance! These instructions come from only the finest sources, seamlessly concatenated into a completely coherent step-by-step guide.

This week’s episode asks the question on all our minds: Is ideas bread?
The boys tell tales from their own home states to kick off a new recurring segment: Home State Horrors! Over the next eighty years or so, Superduperstitious is gonna cover all 50 U.S. states, plus probably some other places, too! In this initial installment, Wyatt and Jake learn some exciting news about their blood.
Jake leads the way with accounts of the Wood Devils of Coos County, NH (even though he’s not from New Hampshire), and then Wyatt discusses Massachusetts’ Bridgewater Triangle in the popular gameshow What is the Bridgewater Triangle? So Spooky?
I’m not gonna write some cute little coda on the end of this one. Listen to the episode!

It’s another cursèd object roundup on this week’s Superduperstitious!
Having narrowly survived a run-in with the creepiest goddamned teddy bear ever, Mr. Dr. Shell introduces Harold the Doll in all his probably-very-haunted glory, followed by audio from some equally evil Elmos. Jake, meanwhile, is just really hung up on this one vase that makes you die.
Remember: when in doubt, throw it out (over the roof of your house). And enjoy this week’s episode!

The boys once again sing the unprompted praises of Annihilation in this thinly-veiled excuse for Jake to talk about cave stuff!
First up, it’s a look at scary cave movies and how they compare to real life cave science. Could horrific creatures really lurk in the darkness, waiting to attack? And does any of that matter to a good spooky tale?
Wyatt then answers that question (“no”) with one such decidedly spooky tale: an ancient relic of the early 2000s about Ted the caver! And we do mean ancient: it’s from a literal Angelfire site.
Don’t let the length of this week’s episode scare you: the story contained within will take care of that for you. Now turn out the lights and respectfully cook up some crawfathers while you enjoy these stygian funtimes!

The start of a new year means some time talk on Superduperstitious!
After a bit of rambling that might be more appropriate in a different, more popular genre of podcast (the lucrative road not traveled), the boys dig into some stories that roughly fulfill the prompt of “it is now a different year than it was”. For Wyatt, this means tales from alleged time travelers! And for Jake, an annual Arkansas NYE tradition of having a bunch of dead birds fall from the sky.
Could 2021 bring a much-needed fresh start after the horrors of 2020? Could this be the year I stop spending so damned long on episode descriptions that no one will read? Hop on the Beebe Blimp, set your singularities spinning, and we’ll find out together!

The boys are back again, with some kooks and spooks for the books! (For the purposes of this description text, pretend that those three words rhyme.)
After a truly surprising visit from a Spring Heeled old pal, Jake leads the way with more of what he does best: crawler bullshit. Cut him some slack – it’s Christmas! And this time it’s served with a tasty side of cave ecology.
Wyatt then pays a FOURTH visit to a topic first covered three years and 119 episodes ago: sonic attacks. Even more unexpectedly, he finds himself in the rare but exciting position of doing whatever the opposite of debunking is (re-bunking?). This now four-installment-and-counting saga takes us from the early conclusion of “it’s probably just bugs” hard into the realm of “it’s definitely real”. Hold onto your axons!
On this cozy December morning, slap on a Magneto helmet, eat altogether too much candy in your PJs, and settle in for a surprise Christmas-timed but not Christmas-themed ep of Superduperstitious!

It's that time of the year again! Time for us to be busier than we've ever been before (a bar we wish would stop getting inexplicably raised) and to consequently just post some existing content. "What 'tent is this you give to us?" you festively ask to the tune of Greensleeves. And we answer you, to the tune of the verse part of "Burning Down the House": Here's some outtakes! Take a peek. They're all found on Patreon. What not sign up and get more? *Bum bum bum BAHHH*
Do I maybe regret writing myself into a corner by choosing the song completely at random before having any idea what I was gonna write next? Yep. But gosh darn it, it's worth it for how much we think you'll love the bonus content and other cool perks we've got for you! It's all there waiting, if you support this silly little spooky and science-y podcast on Patreon.

After a particularly rough fortnight of PhDing, Wyatt deserves a break. This episode is that!
Due to a major backlog of listener stories (i.e. exactly four stories from two people), there’s plenty of material to fill this week’s ep without the boys having to even really try! Jake takes the wheel and leads us all through tales of forest witch legal action, lava fields, and making out. Kick back, put a bow on your favorite goat, and join in for this laid back fun time!

Well wouldn’t you know it, there IS one more guest appearance in store this month, just in time for Halloween itself!
The boys welcome back to the show friend, bartender, tour guide, and expert on all things Chicago, JONATHAN KNOTEK. Together, the three enjoy a drunken ramble through some scary stories, some haunted history, and some very breaking news RE: a certain city’s bat monsters. Just how many people has Oprah killed? And did Jake prep two other stories only to read neither of them? Grab your costume, a very specific autumnal cocktail, and a spot on the couch as you listen along to The 4th Annual Superduperstitious Halloween Spookstravaganza!

October has one last meandering interview up its sleeve, and this one is all Halloween all the time!
Comics writer and artist CHRIS HASTINGS generously wastes his entire evening talking with Wyatt and Jake about the spookiest of holidays. Does sugary cereal turn children into maniacs? How haunted can a family-made bathtub get? And what type of architecture is required to achieve a successful Krang costume? Find out some of this and also more, all on this week’s episode of Superduperstitious!
