Getting Down & Wordy

Boris Pickett "Monster Mash" & Monster

Today we discuss Hannah's favorite song so she'll stop suggesting we do an episode about it every week. We talk about the pop culture of movie monsters that it arose from, and the pop culture of songs about dance crazes.


We explain the origin of the word monster and what words it's related to. And we explore the history of the idea of a monster. Where did it begin, and how has it evolved over time. Additionally we discuss some of the class Universal monsters.

In Eurovision, we talk about Austria's 2023 song "Who the Hell is Edgar?" by Salena and Teya. One of us loves it, one of us is very underwhelmed by it.

This week's featured podcast ad is for the Doe Identify podcast. You can find them anywhere you get podcasts or at this link:
