In the long-awaited return of Mystic History, join TV's fact machine Sophie Falvey as she discusses the unsexy origins of the vampire myth in an episode she describes as “depressingly current” and “gross.”

You’ve been to the northeast, you’ve been through cowboy country, and now it’s time to find out if the west coast really is the best coast! In Supernatural Road Trip episode 3, travel to the Pacific Northwest and have encounters with coyotes older than all of humankind, beach towns haunted by ocean spirits, strange lights in the night sky, the tallest mountains you’ve ever seen, and the states with the most Sasquatch sightings in the entire country.

Flat Earth, a conspiracy often associated with tinfoil hats, and a disbelief in anything the government says. However flat earth and its surrounding community have so much more to offer than just crazy conspiracies! Let's take a look at its history and beliefs.

Wowowow another episode of ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS ARE DEAD! Today we will be talking about the one and only Avril Lavigne. Is she dead? Is she a clone? Is she the result of a sexist music

industry? Let's find out! Punk pop! Sad bois! Upsetting lyrics! Dogs!

A big thanks to the following articles that were used to research today's episode:

- Avril Lavigne Helped Me Embrace The Shit-Kicking Teenage Girl I Always Was by Sammy Maine

- “Where is Your Boy Tonight?”: Misogyny in Pop Punk by Erica West

- Unraveling the Sexism of Emo’s Third Wave by Jenn Pelly

You’re setting out on a long road trip. But what strange things are lurking along the way? In this week’s episode, you travel west to the middle of the country and discover prairie monsters, some Bigfoot fans, wild west ghost towns, hypnotic rock formations, and a possibly haunted radio station. Will you make it out alive? Or will the Banshee of the Badlands find you first?

Should we be content with the monsters we are given? Should the only thing we know about werewolves be Teen Wolf (not the TV show. The cool one, with Michael J Fox)?

Sophie Falvey (Bunyan, staged version of of the Mr. Peanut death commercial cancelled by coronavirus) says no!

Says Falvey, “Why be content with stupid Teen Wolf when you could spend twenty-five minutes listening to me, Sophie Falvey, being a firehose of historical fact?” And we couldn’t agree more-- MYSTIC HISTORY is twenty five minutes long, and mostly facts!

In order for discovery to exist, belief must be changed. Whether it's personal discovery or the discovery of the chemical element plutonium. The belief that existed before is changed, by nature of discovery. In this episode of Solved, we will be examining the history of and belief in gorillas. Why did people not believe in them and what discoveries changed that? We will investigate one of the first real cryptid discoveries!

Why are we so obsessed with women sharing the most secretive parts of themselves? Todays episode of ALL THE PRETTY GIRLS ARE DEAD looks at the story The Green Ribbon and talks about all things sexy and mysterious. Edward Cullen! Femme Fatales! Spooky scary stories! Poetry!
