  • Ep# 33 Look at them Eggs!! (Ostara & Easter)
    Happy Ostara (The One with the Eggs), Goblins! Full disclosure, we are attempting to record our first episode with VIDEO. To say this episode is chaotic feels like an understatement. Thank you for hanging with us while we make our next big step towards a new format for the show. We never thought our little pod would be loved by so many people and we are so, so, SO glad you are here. This is our quirky, weird, accepting, and beyond interesting community of goblins and we wouldn't have it any other way.
    Speaking of the episode...we got eggs, we got disturbing tales about bunnies, why you should never tangle with a fall squirrel, and if you choose to watch the video (link for the full version will be added when we drop the vid), aggressive eye contact because we have no idea what to do with our faces anymore.
    Join us as we attempt to continuously return to the topic that is the Spring Equinox. No matter how you celebrate the return of Spring, you know what to do, Gobs....STAY WEIRD!
    Did Sarah promise any links in these notes during this episode? If yes, don't worry, we'll get 'em. ;-)

  • Ep# 32 This One’s for the Gobs (1 Year Anniversary)
    The squad is worldwide, Mr. Worldwide. We’ve hit one year!!! (cue the air horn noises). Sarah usually writes our lovely show notes, but this week she is helping to welcome her newest niece and nephew into the world, so you’re stuck with the trash-man (Brooke). We want to thank you gobs, from the bottom of our oversized grinch hearts, for listening and supporting us over the past year. This podcast has become such a source of joy, healing, and community for us and gobs around the friggin WORLD (and possibly middle Earth). This week, we recap, answer your questions, talk about new ideas, and new things coming up in 2024 (including video!!!). We are so honored to be in your speakers and earbuds every other week. So tell a friend, tell a neighbor, spread the word, and STAY WEIRD!!

  • Ep# 31 Spilling the Tea into Mel's Hole
    Get out the tinfoil, Gobs!! It's the second half of CONSPIRACY MONTH. Now, we have only just barely scratched the surface on a couple of our favorite conspiracy theories and creepy stories from out there in the goblin-verse, but we know the tales from this episode are going to take you on a wild ride.
    Join us as we crash through history, relive radio shows that we grew up with (any other Art Bell listeners out there???), and contemplate the unanswerable question: WHAT IS IN MEL'S HOLE????!!!! Also, corn fields are scary. Sarah will not voluntarily go in one. You can try, but it ain't happening. Remember to always figure out how many degrees of separation you are from Mt. Everest or Graham Hancock at any given time and what ever happens out there gobs...STAY WEIRD!!! and we love you.

  • Ep# 30 The Bermuda Triangle (Pitbull, Sir Ian McKellen, & Victor Vescovo)

    Mr. Worldwide 🗣️🗣️ Mr. 305!

    We took a Goblin recommendation for this one! Strap on your flotation devices, keep an eye on the horizon, and prepare yourselves to enter...The Bermuda Triangle!!!

    Join TGS as we talk about one of the most notorious regions of sea in the Western Hemisphere. Dozens of vessels from both sea and sky have gone missing in this patch of ocean nestled in the Carribean. Could there be whirlpools, giant squids, MAGNETIC FOG?! *gasp* Make for the lifeboats, fair folk, because it's time for The Goblin Squad!

    Also, are we going to explain how Mr. Worldwide (Mr. 305), Sir Ian McKellen, and Victor Vescovo play in to this here in the show notes?? Absolutely not.

  • Ep# 29 Tarot Is Just One Long Greenday Album

    We've heard you, we care, and NOW...we've answered. TAROT, GOBS! In this first ever card-themed episode of The Goblin Squad, join Brooke and Sarah as they discuss the origin of the divination and self-discovery tool known as The Tarot.

    We talk history, we may slander long gone magical figures (but is it slander...I mean, really?), and we dive into the basics of this beloved and often maligned tool for personal illumination.

    Dust off your deck, grab a note pad and prepare yourself because it's time for...THE GOBLIN SQUAD!! (TWENTY NINE)

    Also...never forget, while you learn about these topics and ponder over two hours of tarot-y goodness, the key to life is to always Stay Weird!!!

  • Ep# 28 Winter Cryptids

    GOBS - This is the first time I have realized I need to do this for an episode so my sincerest apologies if I have upset any of you before this. There is a ***TRIGGER WARNING*** for this ep. We discuss death, human remains, and in some cases, traumatic death of mountaineers all in the context of summiting Mt. Everest. I just wanted to make sure you all had a heads up because it terrifies me so it might terrify you. Love, Sarah


    Well, well, well, Gobs...if it isn't the inevitable coming of winter doom after the holiday season. (Actually, we're all incredibly tired after the "holidays" and are secretly glad its all over for another year but shhhhhh, don't tell anyone)


    The Goblin Squad is BACK for 2024 and this time we're starting BIG (no yeti puns intended) with Winter Cryptids! We've got the Snow Wasset (cranberry bogs will never look the same...I mean we already knew about the bog spiders...but the WASSET?!?), we've got the yeti (this is the one where you all discover that Sarah was the weird arctic exploration kid...shocker. ), and who could forget THE SQUONK? Oh the sad, sad little squonk.


    We are so happy to be back with all of you Gobs for the new year and we can't wait to continue this romp of podcast strangeness with all of you. When you're listening to this and trembling in abject horror over the realities of mountaineering on Mount Everest or looking twice at that sudden depression in a snowbank, never forget, goblins...STAY WEIRD!!!!


    EPISODE RESOURCES

    Once again, against Sarah's better judgement, here is the link to the show America Unearthed: Tracking Down Bigfoot in Minnesota (S3, E11)

    Yeti content starts at timestamp 25:13


    The full episodes of Expedition Unknown aren't available in good quality for free, but they are called "The Hunt for the Yeti", it is a three part episode Season 3, episodes 1, 2, 3.


    Also, BONUS clip...you may recognize this cast of characters as they check out "the yeti hand" ***spoilers, it's not real and you need to listen to the pod to find out why they aren't looking at the real one...***

    It's here...the end of the year is upon us, Goblins! We are ending strong with a conversation about goal setting and goblin well-being. Grab your favorite notebook, make a hot beverage and settle in while we chat about channeling all that new year energy headed your way.

    Brooke and Sarah talk about their own personal ways of staying motivated through ongoing seasonal gatherings and winter mental health challenges. Oh yeah...and we talk about a cat in this one.

    Remember gobs, staying weird doesn't mean staying stressed.

  • Ep# 25 Mycomythology-From Frescoes to James Spader (with Sonia Horowitz)

    Gobs!! This week we are joined once again by the glorious, the wise, the Queen of the Donkeys, Miss Sonia Horowitz. She doesn't leave mushroom for error while diving deep into the world of Mycomythology (the focus of folktales and mythological stories surrounding mushrooms and their cultural/historical significances). While we barely scratch the surface in this episode, we take a look at the CIA, ancient frescoes that totally aren't pine trees, The Dead Sea Scrolls, Russian & African Folklore, and so much more! Grab a toadstool and join the Aunts for a sure to be classic ep!

  • Ep# 24 Personal Alchemy (The 7 Stages)
    We're entering the darkest part of the year, goblins. Days are short, the holidays are approaching, and the world is...well...it's not good. It is really easy to lose hope and think that goals are unattainable or pointless during this season of living. It's so easy to look at the calendar and think to yourself, "eh, I'll just let it all go until January. What's the harm????" If you're feeling this way and not sure where to turn or how to make the leap into something new, listen to your Goblin Aunties! It's time for a little...PERSONAL ALCHEMY.
    Transforming something common into something precious and rare, the process of personal alchemy can be long and difficult but TOTALLY worth it. Join Brooke and Sarah in this week's episode as we talk about the struggle to step out of the mundane and into the magical. You can do the work, Gobs! If you're feeling stuck, or you're struggling to make it through the end of the year, listen to this ep and try to come up with your own 7 stages of Personal Alchemy. And hey...we know these show notes are a little more serious than usual. We're in our feels a little out here. (It's because we're in Stage 5. We are basically kombucha at this point...)
    No matter what stage you're in, Gobs...Don't forget....
    STAY WEIRD!!!!
    Also check out the Numerology episode!!
    P.S. Hit us up if you worked on a Goblin Scout Badge Challenge! We will be tracking you down, but if you know you completed one and tagged us or sent us a photo, send us a DM and we will get your mailing address and get your badges sent out! Woohoo!
