Ep# 48 Goblin Jobs (Rat Catchers)
🎙️ Episode Title: Goblin Jobs (Rat Catchers) – Part 1
🕷️ Location: Brooke’s Witchy Shed (complete with skulls, spell jars, and probably at least one cursed object)
👑 Hosts: Brooke & Sarah – Queens of Chaos and Connoisseurs of Cursed Professions
🐀 Episode Summary:
In this delightfully rat-infested romp, we dive into the underbelly (sometimes literally) of one of history’s most peculiar professions: the Rat Catcher. With incense smoke swirling and crows watching from the rafters, goblin story time includes:
The real, weirdly respected history of the job (yes, rat catching was a thing)
The unsettling lore of the Pied Piper—spoiler: those kids did NOT just go on a picnic
Jack Black (no, not that one), the Victorian rat catcher who may or may not have been a feral PR genius in a top hat
Side quests into the ethics of pest control, questionable elixirs, and what counts as a "good time" in 1800s London
Cackling, chaos, and questionable facts abound as we bring back the signature snark, inside jokes, and infectious laughter to the shed. You’ll come for the vermin, stay for the vibes.
🐾 Goblin-Approved Highlights:
Victorian grifting but make it pest control
Did someone say “plague adjacent”?
If rat catching was an Olympic sport, Sarah would medal in dramatic retellings
Brooke channels her inner cryptid witch historian
An emotional support possum may have been mentioned (or summoned)
🧂 Listener Discretion Advised: Contains salty language, strange tangents, and a deep appreciation for the macabre. You’ve been warned, weirdos.
📌 Don’t forget: This is Part 1, so sharpen your tiny rat swords and prepare for more goblin job glory in the next episode!
🌀 P.S.S. The waters at Delphi have not started flowing again. That was just a weird, unsubstantiated internet rumor probably started by a Tumblr user named MoonTrash69. We checked. We’re The Goblin Squad—not the Oracle at Delphi (though we’d totally take the gig if offered).
