Episode Notes

Did you know otters have a favorite rock and hold hands when they sleep? Did you know New Zealand SUPPOSEDLY doesn't have any otters? Did you know that SOME PEOPLE THINK OTHERWISE? Join us this week as we discuss the highly adorable and plausible Waitoreke! It could be a platypus, an otter, or a cat mermaid! Whatever it is, it's definitely...something.

Episode Notes

There aren't your Santa's elves! They might be your grandmother's lawn gnomes? We're not entirely sure. This week, we're discussing the morally ambiguous and possibly thumbless Duende! Join us as we go on a wild ride and learn a thing or two about what a good PR team can do for the right cryptid.

(Featuring a special announcement about our pod finding a home of its own!)

Episode 75- Halloween Listener Stories (Part One) Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

Happy (almost) Halloween! This week's episode features our secret third (and fourth and fifth etc.) host: YOU! It's part one of our two-part Halloween Listener Stories Special! Every story or sighting in this episode was submitted by a listener to this very podcast, presented by us for your spoopy seasonal enjoyment. Thank you to everyone who submitted, you're Jacks (O lantern) of All Trades!

Episode 74- The Manananggal Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Even an earthquake drill can't stop us from discussing one of Addison's greatest childhood nightmares. Like a bat out of hell, she careens through the sky in search of people to suck dry like a capri sun! She's just a MananangGAL on the Town, and she's... troubling. This episode comes with a Content Warning for MAJOR Body Horror. Join us as we cover this vampiric creature, from her varied nomenclature to her ability to SPLIT HERSELF IN HALF. Hang on, this flight may experience some turbulence and flying torsos.

Episode 73- Real Vampires Oct 14, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode comes with a Content Warning for blood and light discussion of sexual content. Exercise caution when listening, and stay safe out there! Vampires: they're just like us, only not super great at graphic design. This week, we're deviating a little bit from our show's usual subject matter, and talking about something that is most assuredly real in every way: real-life practicing vampires. We're taking a thoughtful look into a portion of the population that many people know nothing about, and hopefully coming out of it informed and with newly piqued curiosity!

Episode 72- Gef the Mongoose Oct 07, 2018

Show notes

We're the EIGHTH WONDER OF THE PODCAST WORLD! We're here to haunt you with clanking chains and groan-worthy puns, and if this description is confusing you then you should probably go ahead and listen to the episode all about a very special little guy. He's the fifth dimension, the eighth wonder of the world, he's Gef the Talking Mongoose and he defies explanation.

Episode 71- The Tatzelwurm Sep 30, 2018

Show notes

Do you ever look at a cat and think "I sure wish that had more scales"? Ever look at a snake and think "I sure wish that had whiskers"? Do both of those sound like animals you'd like to pet, no matter the cost? Then this episode might be for you. This week, we're talking about the original cat snake/maybe a dragon/possibly a basilisk with a name that never stops being fun to say: The Tatzelwurm!

Episode 70- Centaurs Sep 23, 2018

Show notes

Are they more horse than man? More man than horse? Inspired by an ill-advised bingewatch of Bojack Horseman, Addison brings Centaurs to the table today. Join us as we discuss folkloric inconsistencies in the Harry Potter universe, reverse-centaurs, and all manner of (possibly satanic) modern-day horseman sightings.

Episode 69- The Gray Man Sep 16, 2018

Show notes

To all those affected by Hurricane Florence: We hope you're staying safe out there! This episode was recorded before the hurricane hit, when we all knew it was coming, and we decided to cover a legendary figure who warns people of impending storms. NOT to be confused with serial killer Albert Fish, he's The Gray Man. He's a decidedly Good Ghost and/or apparition, and we hope you enjoy the episode. Take care, stay safe, and help those affected by the storm if at all possible.
