About Cracking Cryptids and Curios

From the publisher's feed

Your journey into the world of the weird and macabre starts here! Join hosts Matt and Angel as they traverse into folklore, cryptids, cursed items, strange events, and the generally bizarre world we all live in. The goal of this show is to catalogue the strangest things our world has to offer and individually rank each and every one of them to definitively answer ”what is the weirdest thing out there?” We also laugh a lot because we are genuinely having a good time.
