There's a stinky mountain beast with beautiful hair haunting the Missouri hills in the 1970's. And its name is Momo - better known as: The Missouri Monster. It shuffles the leaves, scares the kids, and stinks up the fields of MO, while stirring up a whole mess of concern in one Missouri town.  This week, on The What If? Podcast, we're talking about Momo, and all of the scary he brings. Pumpkin heads, bad smells, stolen picnics, and a whole lot more abound, this week on The What If? Podcast. See The What If?
