  • The Curse of Oak Island [Season 7 Opinions]

    Hey guys! This week, we chat about History Channel's original series The Curse of Oak Island! Disclaimer: This is a chat about season 7 theories and discoveries - not an informational pod (which is why we have listed it as a bonus). If you have never seen the show, prepare for spoilers and/or some confusion.

    For those interested in learning more, The Curse of Oak Island is a reality show centering around a treasure hunt by two brothers, Rick and Marty Lagina, and their team of friends and experts, all of whom have dedicated considerable amount of time and money to finding a treasure believed to be buried on Oak Island, an island found off the coast of Nova Scotia. People have been searching for this treasure since the 1800's and there are numerous theories on what could be buried there, who could have buried it there, and theories on whether or not the treasure had been found already!

    Hope you enjoy~ See you next week for a full-fledged new episode!

  • Consciousness Shift and Anthropic Principle [Alternate Reality Bonus]

    Hope everyone is staying safe in these chaotic times. We are planning on releasing some bonus episodes now that we have some time on our hands due to quarantine. We are exploring some more alternate reality thoughts based off the video game trilogy mentioned in our episode, Alternate Reality Nosebleed.  Where does our consciousness go when/if we shift into a different reality? And a mind boggling multiverse theory that makes you question how many different universes could there be that we, as humans, could never experience!

  • Fairies [Celtic Mythology]

    Happy Almost St. Patrick's Day! We're presenting some Celtic Fairy Lore for your weird little ears. Some of it might sound a little familiar or you might learn a thing or two you didn't know about our Fey Folk Friends. Meghan begins the podcast by teaching us a little Faerie origin story about the Tuatha de Danann, where the Fae might have started out as Gods? Then Allison runs over a little mythology that she had recently learned about fairies — the Seelie and Unseelie Court! Also, could an Unseelie Fairy have inspired one of America’s most spooky fiction story?

    Contact us at [email protected] or on our instagram @outoftheaveragepod

    Recorded and Edited by Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music credits go to Michael Vontas.

    Keep your ears open for a little treat on St. Patrick's Day.
