2022/02/27

We are joined by the punny and talented John and Patrick from The Dumb Found Dead podcast. They cooked up a special Filipino treat, the Batibat, aka the Bangungot, as this month's guest chefs. John whipped up the background of who the Bangungot is and what nightmare her presence brings. This sleep paralysis demon takes a particular liking to those who overindulge in alcohol and starchy foods (*cough* Patrick *cough*). Then Patrick shares some possible insight into why he too experiences sleep

Is This Giant An Original Or A Kapre?

Pineapple Pizza Podcast ·

2022/02/13

Filipino folklore is filled with tales of giants, but the Kapre looms over them all. Though this mischievous being, still very much alive in the beliefs of the region, can be dark and dangerous at times, it is normally considered to be good-humored and playful. Its characteristics are rooted firmly in the history of the region and, surprisingly, the traits of other giants. The Kapre may be the most well-known giant in modern Filipino lore, but is it the OG?

Ashley starts off our Filipino triptych with an oral epic from the Palawan, an indigenous tribe (living in the province by the same name) that can trace its lineage back some 50,000 years.

That's So Fetch... I Mean, French

Pineapple Pizza Podcast ·

2022/01/30

For our first wildcard episode of 2022, Ashley explores the historic mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask. While there have been many theories over the last 350+ years, could it be that the real question that can finally crack this case is what was his “crime,” rather than what was his name? How was he connected to Nicolas Fouquet? And what could any of this have to do with the diamonds pawned by Queen Henrietta Maria of England? You can decide for yourself if the real story is more or less salacious

We are visited by two guest chefs this month, Aubree and Karyn from Chick-Lit. They serve up several devilishly delightful dishes from their home states with a heavy helping of humor.

SBTS #8 Satan's Claws

Pineapple Pizza Podcast ·

2022/01/19

In this Story by the Slice Emily serves up some old-fashioned sole food. Yup. S-O-L-E. She dishes on the history of a rather unusual fashion that was extremely popular for nearly 300 years, the poulaine, aka the crackow. These shoes had unbelievably long toes that caused the wearers all kinds of problems not only through impairment of physical mobility. Why would anyone want to wear these and how could they have been such a big fashion statement for so long?To stay on top of all the latest from

Lindsay closes out our tour of Turkey with three urban legends featuring female leads. For starters, we’ll take a bite out of the legend of Aynali Magara — a tale with a surprisingly explosive ending. Our main dish is the Myth of Sarikiz — the Fair Maiden of Mount Ida: a tale that will make you hate the patriarchy even more than you already do. To close out, dessert is the legend of Kiz Kulesi — a tiny tower with a lot of history that reminds us that it’s never a great idea to lock anyone in a

The Van Gölü region of Turkey has been inhabited by humans for over 7000 years and ruled by multiple kingdoms. But there's another reported resident of the lake that's been sighted multiple times over the past century, the Van Gölü Canavarı.

Ashley kicks off our Turkish triptych with a tale as old as time…okay, fine, as old as circa 2100 BCE: the Epic of Gilgamesh. This king-sized meal begins with a brief history of Mesopotamia and the city of Uruk to whet your appetite before diving into our main course, the epic poem itself, which centers on the heroic journey of Gilgamesh and his ride-or-die BFF, Enkidu (who in our opinion is the true hero of this story, but what do we know?).

For this month's guest chef special, Brad from the Doomsday podcast and his son Hunter stirred up a lot of laughter and incredulity with stories of the Appalachian cryptid known as the Not Deer.
