Ziggy Stardust, the omnisexual cool cat whose message of hope was sent from space to save us all…where did he go?

Episode 90: Mothman, an Interview with Ed Grabianowski: Where Does it Go? | A podcast about life cycles of all kinds of things, and where stuff goes |

This episode features a fascinating interview with Ed Grabianowski, a researcher, writer, and musician, about Mothman, and where the myth and the monster has gone.  How did the Mothman myth start, and how did it grow? Who is Indrid Cold? What about the Flatwoods Monster? How does Mothman intersect with fictionalized nonfiction, the Men in Black, and bridge destruction? Mothman is a myth that shows us how storytelling, human minds, and the scariness of a dark night all work together to create a monster and a friend all at once.
