  • Episode 163: When the Parent Becomes the Child: Caring for Aging Loved Ones

    This time on The Fedora Files… Gregory Fedora gets deeply personal about a chapter of life many of us quietly endure but rarely talk about. He opens up about becoming a caregiver for his elderly mother after his father passed away — navigating the emotional rollercoaster of strokes, dementia, Alzheimer's, and the strange, tender, and often awkward moments that come with the role reversal when a parent becomes the child.

    If you're part of the "sandwich generation" — juggling kids who don't need you as much and parents who suddenly do — this episode is for you. Gregory shares raw, real stories about home renovations, hospital runs, daily frustrations, and the unexpected gift of giving back to the people who once took care of us. You're not alone — and Gregory invites you to share your own stories and connect with others on this challenging journey.

    👉 Tune in for candid insights, caregiver solidarity, and a reminder that sometimes the weirdest moments are the ones that bond us the most.

  • Episode 160: Capelobo, Brazil's Bone-Crunching, Blood-Slurping Nightmare

    This week on The Fedora Files, Gregory Fedora sinks his teeth into one of Brazil's creepiest cryptids—the Capelobo! 🧛‍♂️💀 Part vampire, part wolf, part "what the actual hell is that?"—this beast prowls the states of Pará and Maranhão, looking for a fresh drink of… your blood. ☠️

    Legend has it, the Capelobo is like a terrifying mashup of a werewolf and a giant anteater—because apparently, Brazil's folklore said, "You know what would be extra terrifying? A bloodthirsty anteater." 🦝➡️🩸

    🔪 Where did this nightmare fuel come from? 🦴 Why is its name a mix of "Broken Bone" and "Wolf"? (Spoiler: It's not because it gives great hugs.) 👀 Could it still be lurking in the rainforests today?

    Join Gregory Fedora as he unpacks this horrifying, bone-crunching, skull-draining legend. Trust us—you'll want to keep your doors locked and your bones intact for this one! 🚪🔒
