It's the Christmas season and in honor rampant capitalism this week we're talking guerilla marketing and commodification of myth!

P.S. John started a YouTube Thing

P.P.S. John just realized a day later he messed up the title, whoops.

An actual Robin: "Holy paranoia Mothman, Cryptopedia is a year old! What do we do now?!"

Mothman: "Squeak"

That's right actual robin, we've been doing this thing for a year, so a book was read for this episode. While it's no John Yells For an Hour, emotions definitely run high. Also, we totally escaped that bunker thing we were in for a while during all of those area 51 memes. I bet you thought we forgot about that whole bit.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and listenership!

We're now announcing now that we're switching Cryptopedia to an every other week schedule for the forseeable future. This is to give both Brandon and John a little more breathing room on episodes, but there's a full explanation at the end of the podcast.

Thank you,

Brandon and John

Brandon and John are dealing with the horrors of being an an adult and have been listening to the dollop a lot. Also Shadow People are way different than John thought.

This is technically a year of Cryptopedia, but next week we’re "celebrating" it.

Welp it was inevitable, Brandon and John finally took a vacation and didn't record in the scuffle. Hopefully we'll have something new next week.

Meanwhile John has decided to upload the first in his series of SCP premium episodes of which episode 2 is definitely coming he swears.
