As probably the only person from Wyoming that listens to this wonderful show, I can say that my dad also tricked me into believing jackalopes were real for several years. 🥲

Finally got the chance to listen today and, oh, I needed this. 💜

What an opener! The casual banter is super fun, the stories are interesting, and I'm in love with the millenial ghosts as a concept :D ("Millenial ghosts don't have the energy to do much.", "I especially like the implication that Crazy Frog died.")

Very fun!

Hello - thanks for drawing our attention to this! I tried to re-do the link, but the same thing happened, so we'll need to dig a little deeper into what's going on there. We'll let you know when we've solved it! - Katie

This was a fantastic episode and I'm excited for the rest of the season! And I just want to say, I really appreciate the effort you're putting into getting transcripts up with the shows (although here the link to the pdf transcript seems to be broken?)

this was SO fun!!! but it really makes me think about the fact one of the main urban legends from my region is a giant poisonous worm that grew up in a well and was placated to stop it eating small children by giving it a lot of milk

Until this day I was not aware of the pert bottom of the Point Pleasant Mothman. I am enlightened.

Haha! I’ve seen that statue in person, they really did try to cover it with the wings but there’s no denying mothman has a great A*#
