Shannon knocks it out of the park this week with a quiz style update on our first five episodes! Does Emma actually get a good score and not cheat? She didn't actually study for this quiz, so she just might try to. Is Shakespeare once again not Shakespeare?

It’s a ghost party-line this week! Was a man from the 1540s communicating with the future via the first home computer? Was the future talking back? Was the even further future trying to experiment on them all? We kinda hope so! And very much hope to find the secret book someday soon (very National Treasure of us).

This week Shannon has the cryptid and boy HOWDY are these things CUTE! Or at least we think they are. What exactly are these adorable Fresno Nightcrawlers? Bog cryptids? A hoax? The sweatpant imitation of a human that wiggles menacingly? Better pull out your flip-flones and snap a pic of this cute cryptid, because the Fresno Nightcrawler might be prowling your neighborhood tonight and we need some good footage.

Emma did another doll this week and got away with it! Okay, so maybe she isn’t a doll, but La Pasculita, the uncanny human-like mannequin of Chihuahua, Mexico is pretty scary up close. Is she even a mannequin at all? We flesh out this question (pun unintended) and discuss Emma’s 30th birthday plans, nopé in third position, and if a jerky mannequin is the preferred movement (spoiler, nopé). So join us and see if La Pascualita is more than she seems. Come follow us on TikTok, Instagram, and

This week Shannon takes on the case of Jimmy Hoffa and just what exactly happened to the mob-associated union boss. Was he off-d and fed to the fishes? Or is he at the bottom of a landfill? Was Ed Sheeran’s great uncle a hit man? Should we start a cheese company? We only know that yes, we should start a cheese company, and then maybe we could rival the Missouri Cheese Caves (they’re real?!). Come follow us on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter! Visit our website!

It’s not spooky, it’s just sad. It’s short and not so sweet this episode as Emma tells Shannon about the mysterious 100-year-old disappearance and possible homicide of Pauline Picard. Was this little girl abducted and killed? Or was she simply never found? And who was the girl who took her place? So many questions and absolutely no answers, as usual, so come listen!

*WARNING: The ghosts got to us again (for real) this week, so the audio is subpar. It’ll be back to normal once Emma sages the entire Pod Nook* *Content Warning: violence against animals and intended violence against children* This week Shannon really spooks Emma with the story of the sort-of-cryptid, certainly Gay Icon, the Babadook. This creature is absolutely terrifying, but is it based on a sleep paralysis phenomenon that affects people across the globe? Is Shannon the Babadook? We might never

Exorcize? I thought you said extra fries! This week, Emma tackles a spooky two-fer with the Exorcism of Roland Doe and the curse of The Exorcist. The movie was based on a book, which was based on a true story. But just how true was it? If it is true, it's some seriously scary stuff. Somehow, Emma manages to make Shannon cry without actually scaring her, we call upon the Kirkland brand of Jesus to help out, and we even have a surprise special guest at the end! So come get your spooky-vibes fix and a

This week’s episode has it all: a heist, jewelery, the gay agenda; what more could you want?! Shannon goes in depth on the mysterious disappearance of the Irish Crown Jewels. Someone may have been so wealthy that they just wanted to take them for the heck of it (like Emma would if she were filthy rich). It could have been for money after all, or as a political move against the monarchy. We’ll never know unless someone finds a giant shamrock made of emeralds. Visit our website! Follow us on

So Emma may have done something irreversible this episode but with all the musical interludes, does it really matter? Be prepared to swipe right on this week’s topic, Bigfoot! This cryptid icon takes center stage in our musical episode as Emma tells Shannon all about the big lug. Are they really out there, are they some interdimensional entity, or are they just a giant figment of the world’s imagination? Regardless, Emma is a squatcher now, so hop on board to this week’s inanity and you might just

Hey all you cool cats and postal kittens! This week we’re back to our regularly scheduled Shannon programming, except this time she’s got a solved case! Shannon dives deep into the no-longer-enduring mystery of the location of Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition ship The Endurance and the harrowing but miraculous adventure that led to its disappearance. Since it was found in March of 2022, the mystery is solved and we couldn’t be happier! Until the end of the episode, when we get a good scare

It's everyone's favorite topic: numbers! Is the number 13 really that unlucky? Or is Friday the 13th actually the perfect day to get married, start a journey, and sit in row 17 on a plane? Well, even with Emma’s inability to count, she decided to tell Shannon about the reality of unlucky numbers and how it might actually be misogyny’s fault (isn’t it always). If only Emma and numbers were friends. Maybe then she’d be lucky all the time. Sources: The Mother Source on the number 13, Friday the 13th,

Powder up, clowns! This is the fourth and final (for now) installment of Shannon’s deep dive into the Taylor Swift album conspiracies! We continue to be joined by our Swift expert, Stephen (aka @thecardiganguy), and knock out the last few album potentials for Taylor’s re-release. We learn that mashed potatoes will get you through Adele’s 25, Stephen Colbert is a Taurus, and everyone wants an invite to the Trixie Motel, but most of all, we learn once again that Taylor RUNS the music industry.

If anything were a crime, we both know we’d be in for LIFE (bookshelves and sinks, look out). This week, Emma brings us back to the 1960s and the most daring prison escape of all time, the Escape from Alcatraz. Did the three men make it out alive? Did they end up beardy and lipsticked for a funeral? Or did they drown like the FBI claims? All we know is that the sound of freedom sure has the ring of a concertina inflating a handmade rubber raft. Visit our website! Follow us on Instagram and

The best things come in threes, so we couldn’t pass up a third installment of all the clownery and tomfoolery Dr. Taylor Swift has been putting her fans through. And if that wasn’t enough, we are also joined by the subject matter expert on all things Swift: Stephen, aka @thecardiganguy! Shannon takes us through the conspiracies and guesses for what this wonder woman will drop as her next re-record and even with all of our tangents and catching up, we think we prove that Taylor is one of the most

Once again, Emma makes a case for becoming a vase because she just wants to be useful in the afterlife! Just like Zona Heaster Shue, otherwise known as the Greenbrier Ghost, who came from the other side to help convict her husband for her murder. But was it really her? All we know for sure is that justice was served and Shannon didn’t get “scurred”, but somehow a listener ensures Emma gets a taste of her own medicine. Visit our website! Follow us on Insta!

Let’s party like it’s 1989, friends! Shannon is bringing back the Taylor Swift conspiracies and Emma is absolutely convinced that Taylor is the absolute QUEEN of business and Easter eggs. Shannon still isn’t a fan of Nick Jonas, but Stephen Colbert could hold our drinks at the club, no problem. There’s talk of pizza, candles, and a part two?!

Come join the nonsense parade this week (with hopefully very few damp confetti pieces)! Shannon SUCCEEDED in scaring Emma to bits, but Gus the Ghost mismanaged our audio this week, so there are a few surprises mixed in. Watch out for variable noise levels, too. Gus is not very good at adjusting the audio quality, or cutting out the times that Emma swears (whoops). Visit our website!

Welcome to another nonsense filled episode where Shannon narrowly avoids getting scared, this time by Goatman’s Bridge. Is it a demon on this bridge? A cryptid? A stoner kid in the tree whispering “Steve”? We might never know, but we do know that Emma wants to be a vase but might end up as a couch, and Shannon will certainly be prepared for any demon with a super soaker full of holy water. Apparently, Emma also draws the spooky line at clowns, so you're safe if that wasn't your jam. Just goat-headed

It’s the MUSICAL episode! This week Shannon has prepared a mystery that even Emma didn’t know about! Did you know that Aaron Burr’s daughter Theodosia disappeared at sea? Or did she? We learn that Aaron Burr wanted to be an emperor, Emma won’t eat airport hotdogs, and no cast or crew member was left alive on the ship that Theodosia Burr Alston was last seen aboard.
