Welcome to the Port Phenomenoes – a Port Washington podcast brought to you by a Skeptic, a Believer, and a Blank Slate. We promised you double the trouble with a side of existential dread – we’re here with Episode 5 and it’s a bit of a mind bender! Bit of a warning for listeners who have anxiety when it comes to questioning our known reality and existential discourse on the human experience – we know it can get a bit heavy and overwhelming! But for those who are able to take the plunge with us – put on your sunglasses, take the red pill, and embrace the fact we may just be real life sims....how meta would that be??
In this episode we tumble down rabbit hole after rabbit hole – even we get a bit lost! You want Sunday Scaries? We definitely have them – have your own glitch in the Matrix stories? Share them with us, let us know if you believe we’re in a simulation or truly just living it up in this meat suit. Wishing all our listeners a Happy Halloween, Merry Samhain, Blessed Hallows Eve – or any other holiday you are celebrating!

Even though we’ve been away, we have a special treat for you! The time is here for our very first episode of Chronicles of a Believer! Taylor and Olivia attend the Port Washington Ghost Walk, facilitated by a wonderful local business – the Caper Company! We’ll include their details below for anyone who wants to find more info or partake in a Walk or Hunt this coming spooky season.
Hear about their thoughts going into the walk and then their debrief afterwards! What did they encounter? What local lore did they learn? Is our office indeed haunted like Shannon thought?
Stay tuned for more Chronicles of a Believer minisodes that will pop in between our regular episodes!

Welcome to the Port Phenomenoes – a Port Washington podcast brought to you by a Skeptic, a Believer, and a Blank Slate. Episode 3 is finally here and folks do we have a fully loaded episode for you – jump scare included! With a healthy fear of mirrors on our side, we get deep into the Urban Legend of Bloody Mary. She’s everyone’s favorite toilet ghost to summon...but is she also the most relatable?
In this episode we look at possible identities of Mary, if mirrors are actually doors, and if there’s really a bit of Mary in all of us. Here to keep your Sunday Scaries at bay – we give you a multitude of jokes, rabbit hole tangents, and a special ‘on brand’ drink from Fisch (for our 21+ listeners).

Welcome to the Port Phenomenoes – a Port Washington podcast brought to you by a Skeptic, a Believer, and a Blank Slate. Y’all, we’ve made it to Episode 2 and you’re in for a treat...or maybe a nightmare? It may be summer here but we’re teleporting to the frigid winter months to discover the Wendigo, as known from indigenous lore. This isn’t your typical plot device in Hollywood, this is a look at the stories and also the psychology of the cannibalistic ‘cryptid’ of the North Woods. Our recommendation? 1) Always use the buddy system and 2) don’t respond if the woods at large call out your name.
Instead of chasing away the Sunday Scaries we’re bringing them to you – whoops! We’re a bit rusty on the podcast game but that doesn’t stop us from laughing away the fear of this week’s episode. We’d also like to indicate a trigger warning for familicide and general cannibalism in this episode, we try not to get too explicit but it may be uncomfortable for some listeners.

Welcome to the Port Phenomenoes – a Port Washington podcast brought to you by a Skeptic, a Believer, and a Blank Slate. In this episode we are unpacking the famed and elusive Illuminati as Taylor, our resident Believer, tells us her perspective on what this secret society could be up to today. But it’s not all sinister plots and puppet strings – we’ve got plenty of laughs for you too!
We’re doing this complex subject in two parts – go BIG or go home, right? Not only is it easier listening for you but then you can mull over where you fall on the BS scale with Fisch. So take a listen today and then tune into our next episode to hear the Skeptic side.
