Creature Feature: Squonk
February 26, 2020 10:00 - 11 minutes - 11.1 MBPennsylvania, AKA the Keystone State, is known for many wonderful things, like the birthplace of independence and Mr. Fred Rogers. But did you know PA is also home to the homeliest creature in the world? This week, Sarah's creature feature takes us into the Hemlock forests of Northern Pennsylvania to examine the Squonk, a creature so ugly it hides in shame and spends its day weeping.

30 - Dirty Deeds
February 19, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 84.8 MBWe bury our secrets...and sometimes our dead bodies, as well. This week, we cover two stories where the dirtiest deeds really do involve dirt. For our fairy tale, Hans Christian Andersen has us covered with the Rose Elf, a nice little tale about karma. For our true crime story, we take a trip up north to Canada and dig up some dirt on Bruce McArthur, one of the deadliest known serial killers in Toronto and the "most prolific" gay serial killer in Canada. If you like this podcast, don't for...
Creature Feature: Banshee
February 12, 2020 11:00 - 6 minutes - 5.99 MBMany of us fear death, both for ourselves and for our loved ones. But what if there was something to signal when a family member was going to die? Would that be better or worse? In Irish mythology, banshees do just that. These female spirits herald the death of a family member or loved one by wailing, shrieking, or keening. If you're all caught up on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, you already know a little bit about banshees, now let Megan tell you more. If you like this podcast, don'...
29 - Til Death Do Us Part
February 05, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBWe are gathered here today to talk about marriage...but it's not exactly the "happily ever after" kind. This week, we take a look at what happens when the marital bliss ends. For our fairy tale, we read you "The Falsely Accused Wife," a story about a bad friend and a kickass lady. This week's true crime story doesn't actually include murder, although someone gets to experience their own grave. We cover Ramon Sosa and his murder plot.

Creature Feature: Ittan-Momen
January 29, 2020 11:00 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBCotton is a staple in the textile industry. This prehistoric fiber is soft, breathable, and a great option if you're looking to avoid synthetics. Absolutely nothing dangerous about cotton, right? Wrong! At least if you live in or near Kimotsuki. Here, there have been sightings of the Ittan-Momen, possessed roll of cotton that flies through the night skies and often attacks people. If you see an unusually large bolt of cotton flying through the air, RUN. And if you like this podcast, don'...
28 - Swan Song
January 22, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBWe are of the mindset where if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. However, we all know life doesn't work that way, not even in a fairy tale. This week, we take a look at how looks matter even to farm animals with Hans Christian Anderson's The Ugly Duckling. And to make everyone feel even worse, we cover the tragic death of Silvia Likens, the unfortunate target of severe brutality for absolutely no reason. If you're here for the darker episodes, this one is for yo...
Creature Feature: Basilisk
January 15, 2020 11:00 - 10 minutes - 9.81 MBWhat is hatched by a cockerel from the egg of a serpent and is reputed as the king of serpents? It's not a riddle...it's a Basilisk! This week, Megan tells us about this mythological creature found in European Bestiaries and legends. The basilisk is known for appearing in Harry Potter lore and for killing people with one simple look. Good thing this is not a visual podcast!

January 08, 2020 11:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBHappy 2020! To celebrate our first full-length episode of the year, we decided to shake things up a bit. Rather than just telling you one fairy tale and one true crime story, we bring you several! Well, we re-remember them, anyway.

Creature Feature: Drop Bears
January 01, 2020 12:34 - 8 minutes - 8.07 MBThere are many creatures in Australia that could kill, maim, or simply terrorize you, but none may be quite as cute as the Drop Bear. This creature of folklore is said to be related to the Koala, possesses impressive upper body strength, and has the patience to stalk its prey from the treetops. It's also completely made up, but that's beside the point, isn't it? If you like our podcast, don't forget to rate, review, subscribe, and let your bushwalker friends know!

Creature: Gef the Talking Mongoose
December 18, 2019 11:00 - 9 minutes - 8.37 MBDo you ever wish your best furry friend would talk back to you? Too bad we all know animals can't talk...right? Well, for one family on the Isle of Man, they discovered "an extra extra clever mongoose" named Gef who guarded their house (and who could also speak).

25 - Just Drink It
December 11, 2019 11:00 - 47 minutes - 44 MBThings are not always what they seem to be. Sometimes this applies to your Tinder date, and other times it applies to your food and beverages. This week, Sarah & Megan take a look at a couple of greedy B's who try to pull the ole switcharoo (and pay the price). For our fairy tale, we take a trip to Italy with Italo Calvino's "Uncle Wolf," while our true crime story focuses on Rudy Kurniawan, famed wine collector (and fraud).

24 - Fee-fi-fo-fum
November 28, 2019 01:21 - 1 hour - 70.2 MBOur stories tend to have a clear hero and an obvious villain--but what happens when these roles are not so cut and dry? More importantly, what happens when everybody sucks in a story? This week, we've got another round of stories close to home, but this time, it's the homeowners who aren't exact Mr. Nice Guys. If you couldn't already guess, we cover the age-old classic, Jack and the Beanstalk, with the case of Byron David Smith. If you like our podcast, don't forget to rate, review, subscr...
Creature Feature: Hobbits
November 20, 2019 11:00 - 9 minutes - 8.92 MB“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” This week, Megan takes us on a journey to Middle-earth to tell us all about her absolute favorite creatures: Hobbits.

Creature Feature: Raven Mocker
September 25, 2019 09:19 - 4 minutes - 3.97 MBAs we're nearing SpOoKy season, it's only fitting that we start to get a little witchy.

18 - Catfish and the Bushywomen
September 04, 2019 09:48 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBA picture's worth a thousand words, but what's a portrait worth if the pretty woman doesn't look a thing like your bushy bride? I think the words you're looking for are "what the 'ell?!" Whatever words you choose, be careful what you say on the internet...you never know if the CIA is listening. This week, we cover two very different kinds of catfishing (and no, neither of them require any type of pole).

16 - Death & Taxes
June 05, 2019 08:39 - 36 minutes - 34.2 MBThere are at least 2 things in this life you cannot escape: death and taxes.

This week, Sarah and Megan take a look at death's siren call in "The Voice of Death" and the seemingly indestructible Michael Malloy, AKA "Rasputin Of The Bronx." This is going to be the last episode before our season break, but stick around! We'll have some great new c...

14 - Lifestyles of the Rich & the Feline
May 01, 2019 08:45 - 1 hour - 88.2 MBBoots and cats and boots and cats and boots... If you give a cat a pair of boots, they're going to ask you to pretend to be a rich and beautiful man (*cough* Chris Hemsworth) so you wind up with a nice new palace and princess bride. But sometimes the good ole "fake it till you make it" mantra just doesn't work. Just ask Anna Delvey AKA Anna Sorokin AKA the Soho Grifter.

11 - Tree of Life & Death
March 20, 2019 09:08 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBIf you ever took an English lit class, you probably know that trees are kind of a "big deal" in stories. And if you're any kind of nature buff, you know trees are worthy of all the hugs. But what happens when the trees get a little...overboard. This week, Sarah & Megan take a look at the Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, where the former gets an epic transformation because the latter just won't make like a tree and leave.

For our fairy tale, we explore Megan's favorite: Rumpelstiltskin. And for our true crime story, we dive into the out of this world tale of how young Jan Broberg was kidnapped by Robert Berchtold.

This week, Sarah & Megan dive into a doozy of an episode featuring cannibalism and some horrible parenting. First, we take a look at Sarah's favorite fairy tale, The Juniper Tree.

January 09, 2019 08:15 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MBIs that a wolf growling, or just your stomach? Don't lie to us now--you know nobody likes a person who cries wolf. If we're being honest here, this week Sarah & Megan talk about your favorite fable from Aesop all about a young Boy Who Cried Wolf. And because everyone loves a wolf pack (even if it's just a party of two, maybe three), we pair it with wannabe jailhouse informant Greg Scarpa Jr., whose cries of his own have kept him in prison, despite potential ties to 9/11 and the Oklahoma City ...
Creature Feature: Wendigo
January 02, 2019 08:09 - 17 minutes - 16 MBNew Year, pretty much the same podcast (and that's a good thing, we think!) Kick off 2019 the right way--with a healthy dose of folklore and maybe just a bit of spooky cannibalism (ok, who are we kidding...a lot of cannibalism). For this week's creature feature, Sarah welcomes us into 2019 with the help of perhaps one of winter's scariest demons: the Wendigo. If you've ever thought about tasting human flesh, now is definitely not the right time. You've been warned. If you like our podcast, d...
