Superduperstitious

Did you hear about the latest episode of Superduperstitious? I didn't listen to it, but I know this one guy whose cousin totally did and OH MAN. That's right — this episode is about urban legends!

This week, Jake wants to make a Decemberists reference only to totally miss the 20-minute opportunity he has to make an entirely different Decemberists reference. Instead, he discusses how one internet scary story found its way into real life. Next, Wyatt explores an elusive yet ubiquitous bird bigger than any muppet, with all the taxonomy lessons you could ever ask for in a podcast. Get ready for some spooky spaghetti (that's what it's called, right?) and give a listen to this week's Superduperstitious!

Wyatt spins a spooky tale of some unexplained experiences he had after moving into an old house in western Massachusetts — you'll never guess how much mail and lady bones are hidden in that place!

This week, Jake walks us through a surprisingly recent and ongoing epidemic of giant bat creature sightings in Chicago. Then, Wyatt discusses an ancient South American terror that may be more rooted in fact than in fiction. And it smells, just, real bad. Grab a beer of indeterminate brand and get ready to RIDE THE SNAKE.

In the inaugural episode of Superduperstitious, Wyatt Shell and Jake Withee talk about their favorite cryptids. Wyatt recounts the sworn affidavit of a man who saw SOMETHING in the woods on a mountain one fateful day in the 1950s. Jake ruins his own childhood, but, like, in a fun way.
