Least Haunted

Happy Pride! To celebrate we are going to discuss the magical and fabulous life of James Randi. One of the greatest magicians of the twentieth century, and a skeptical investigator without equal. From precocious beginnings in Canada, to the television screen, he battled misinformation and scammer "hoo-ha peddlers". And along the way he will test the boundaries of what it takes to bring honesty to a world of lies.  
So grab a few spoons, some strong rope, and your skepticals. Things are about to become AMAZING!

Garth is on assignment once again. So this time Cody is joined once again by wildlife biologist Carolyn to discuss a beastly set of occurances in pre-revolutionary France. What was to be a simple walk in the woods, becomes a very deep and thorough exploration of the ins and outs of The Beast of Gevaudan!

It's our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! And to celebrate we have returned to the story that started it all. That's right, Gef The Talking Mongoose! Only this time we will be reviewing the 2023 film, Nandor Fodor and The Talking Mongoose, starring Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver, Christopher Lloyd, and... Neil Gaiman, unfortunately, as Gef the Mongoose. 
Does it hold up to the tale we told in the first episode of this podcast? Who did it better? Spoiler: it was us. We did it better.
NOTE: There will be a video version of this episode on our youtube channel soon. So yo...

It's almost April 1st! And you know what that means? Time to talk about some Paranormal Fools! And arguably there is no one who fits that bill more than Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures Crew! Who is that? And what is Ghost Adventures? Well, just sit right back and hear a tale. A tale of a paranormal trip. That started from a ghostly town and the throwing of a brick...

Get the 411 on the 411. No, not those 411, the other 411! Confused? That's to be expected. This time we get tangled up in the weblike string of the old "crazy board" and try not to lose ourselves in the wild conspiracy of The Missing 411... And along the way we'll visit some National Parks too!

This is the story of what happens when no one gets satire or allegory. When generations of people fail to get the point and instead go searching for a metaphor. A cautionary tale about how fan fiction can potentially lead to genocide and aliens... A slippery slope that leads right into the very depths of the human imagination, and possibly to the bottom of the ocean itself. This is Atlantis!

Cody has a migraine and Garth has a cough. So of course the only logical thing to do is address the really important questions: How Ghost Work? What Ghost do? Why is Ghost? Etc. Admittedly there are a hell of a lot more questions than answers in this one, so you've been warned.
