Today's Oddcast - Is It in the Stars? (Airdate 11/14/2022)

Astrology is everywhere - but what is it, exactly? And is it real? Astrologer Charly King was skeptical. So she set out to debunk it all - and the opposite happened. She became a believer. Think about it this way: we are shaped by the environment, by the physical world we live in. The stars, the planets are all part of the natural world and we are beginning to discover the profound ways that it shapes us. Whether you're a Leo or a Libra, a Cancer or a Capricorn, the stars do have something to tell you. The question is, are you ready to hear it?

Today's Oddcast - Halloween in Black and White (Airdate 11/7/2022)

Our producer Doc has never been trick or treating. Which really surprised us - and prompted a listener named Molly to ask, "but why not?" The answer had nothing to do with costumes or candy, and everything to do with race. Doc is Black. Raised in an all-white neighborhood, his parents and grandparents wanted only to protect the kids from the realities - and very real risks - of racism. Halloween was just one of many sacrifices and adjustments Doc learned to make. In this episode, we have, or at least try to have, The Conversation. The one about race. The hard, uncomfortable talk that feels like a highwire walk over a field of landmines...

Today's Oddcast - The Ghost and William Wallace (Airdate 10/28/2022)

Hardcore fans of the movie Braveheart probably know everything there is to know about the legendary Scottish warrior, William Wallace. The stories are pretty wild - I mean, come on: did he really wear a sword belt made from the skin of his enemy, Sir Hugh de Cressingham? In this episode we tell the tale of William Wallace and Fawdon's ghost. It's grisly and sounds kind of crazy. But it dates back to the late 1400's, thanks to the very colorfully named Wallace historian, Blind Harry. As Wallace says in Braveheart, "We all end up dead. It's just a question of how and why." And the how and why in this ghost story will give you the shivers...

Sheri and Kevin recently lost one of their beloved dogs. After a long, difficult day and many tears, they ordered some Chinese food. Which was dropped off at the wrong house.

Nothing like meeting the new neighbors in pajamas and tears...it's kind of amazing how sadness and hilarity can collide in the most unexpected ways. Life's kind of magical that way. You know what else is magical? The love of a dog - and really good Chinese food.

Today's Oddcast - Floating Corpse Brings the Good News (Airdate 10/14/2022)

You'd think rising from the dead and levitating at your own funeral would be enough to make you famous, but Christina kicked it up a notch. Declaring that God had sent her back to Earth to warn people of the perils of Purgatory, Christina of Brusthem went on to live for 54 more years post-funeral freaky floating. People were aghast and baffled by her ability to submerge herself in the nearby icy river, by her penchant for stepping into a bonfire - only to emerge unscathed by the flames. I mean, what the H-O-L-Y is going on here? Was it demons? Magic? Trickery? Or...was it all just as she described? Meet Saint Christina the Astonishing - and decide for yourself.
