As we approach Veteran's Day, we have a guest (who just happens to be Maeve's dad) who had a impressive military career of his own. He's also an accomplished writer, speaker and storyteller and he shares the experiences that he had and other veterans have personally opened up to him about - an army nurse, a POW in Germany, a prisoner of the Hanoi Hilton and the story of the day small, elderly Japanese man, who was on one of the enemy aircraft carriers, visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
Thank you to all of our country's veterans. To those that served in peacetime and in war - thank you for your service. You do a job that not many of us are willing to do. You and all of your families have our deepest gratitude.
Check our social media for pictures of the men and women we discussed on today's episode. Closing music by the United States Army Band and Chorus.
We're going back to hit some dating topics again. This is good advice for everyone but we hear the most despair and confusion from men on this topic so it's angled a bit more in their direction.
Just in time for Halloween! We talk ghost, ghost hunters, a crime that resulted in a "haunting" and REAL ghosts. Plus our own personal stories to keep things interesting.
Here at The Unmentionables, we love all things Halloween! Why do we have some of our traditions? Why did people used to carve turnips into freaky looking heads? What do bats have to do with any of this anyway? Why isn't it a night for breaking windows and arson anymore? Come in... find out... we have candy...
Part 2 of our paranormal October. Crytozoology! When Cryptids Attack! Or not. Is there any truth in any cryptid story? Maybe. There might even be a reasonable explanation for the jackalope. Bigfoot? Nessie? Hmmm....
Part one of our Halloween and paranormal themed October. Psychics! The people who will give you the truthiest truth to ever go in your earholes.
But do we actually know what we saw? We've all heard that eye-witness testimony is unreliable but we still think OUR memories are accurate. How does this breakdown happen and how would we ever know if we're carrying around a false memory?
For years Abstinence Only Until Marriage was the very controversial - and objectively unsuccessful - sexual education standard in the US. Jeremy and Maeve tried to figure out what the standard is now and found some very eye-opening information.
Why are we so fascinated by hearing grisly stories of murder and mayhem? Maeve is a huge fan of true crime and shares with Jeremy some of the appeal of listening and watching stories of the worst of human nature.
Justin Evans from The Generation Why and The Peripheral Podcasts join Jeremy and Maeve for a really funny conversation (rant?) about why people believe in conspiracy theories.
