    Aug 16 2024

    In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Courtney take a look at three cases of intrigue

    • Coprophagy: "Eat shit". It's a phrase we've all heard, but have ever truly thought about it? Courtney tells us about coprophagy and why so many animals do it and where this phrase originally came from
    • Folk Metal: Nathan gives us some fun information on the birth of Folk Metal. A sub-genre that deviates from the traditional anti-Christian themes, but still celebrates those themes of accepting "otherness"
    • Nathan's playlist
    • Princess Caraboo: A few miles north of Bristol in Southwest England is the small town of Almondsbury. It's the sleepy kind of English town where not a whole lot happens but on Apr 3 1817 something did happen. You see a an unknow woman had turned up, seemingly disoriented and speaking an unknown language. In a little over a week the entire town and surrounding area would know who she was: her name was Caraboo and she was a princess

    Pt. 3

    Jul 19 2024

    In this two-part episode our hosts, Cayla, Nathan and Halli take a look at three cases of intrigue

    • Nashville Hot Chicken: Seems like every restaurant these days has hot chicken on the menu, but where did that idea originate?
    • Binturongs: I have not seen a binturong in person, as far as I can recall. I certainly hope I would have remembered something that looks like a cross between a cat, a small bear, and a racoon, with a prehensile tail that's roughly the weight of a kindergartener.
    • Trasmoz, Spain: In the 13th century, the entire village of Trasmoz, Spain, was excommunicated for witchcraft and in 1511, Pope Julius II ordered the village to be cursed and it is said to still be cursed today. That's the story anyways

    Pt.2

    • Trasmoz, Spain
