Well hello there Wanderers,
Welcome back to another wonderfully spooky episode of Spooktober 2024!!
Today, we are revisiting one of our very first episodes. We are taking a trip down memory lane and visiting our dear friend the Flatwoods monster!
Where did it come from? Was it an alien? Was it a machine or Reptilian? Was it even real at all?
Welp, I guess you will just need to join us to find out on today's episode of Spooktober 2024!

Greetings Wanderers, and welcome to Spooktober 2024!!!
We are starting Spooktober a tad early this year, and we are kicking it off with a bang! Today we are talking about the disturbing history of Mummy unwrapping parties. We are also taking a brief detour to touch on the topic of Cannibalistic medicine... If you would prefer to fast-forward through that part, please skip from 4:25 - 13:00.
Grab yourself a sweet treat, some warm apple cider, and join us on this disturbing yet fascinating start to Spooktober 2024!!!

Bonjour Wanderers!
Welcome to the exciting conclusion of our 2024 Olympics celebration!
For the finale, we are taking it back to the very beginning of the Paralympics!
We start our episode with some recap highlights of the Olympics.

Then at 9:44, we take a detour to talk about a rather unappetizing story from Katrina's place of work..... So please fast forward to 19:13 if you would rather not tarnish your memory of the Olympics with this story. 

At 19:13 we get back on track to the History of the Paralympics.

Thank you all very much for joining us on this wild ride that has been the Summer Olympics 2024! We hope to have you join us again for the Winter Olympics in 2026!

If you have been on TikTok recently , or around the internet you may of heard about this off brand Wonka experience that left A LOT to be desired....
So grab your coat, your imagination and some chocolate (since they wont be providing any) and join us as we dive in!

Greetings Wanderers!
Welcome back to another spook-filled episode!
Today we are taking a trip to the gorgeous Japan to learn about Yokai! Yokai is, for lack of a better term, a catch-all term for anything and everything unexplainable. From the supernatural, to scary stories to keep your kids from misbehaving,to reasons why you should not throw away an object that is still useful. There is truly a Yokai for EVERYTHING. So pack some snacks, a warm sweater, and perhaps some tea to drink as we dive in!
