It’s a whole episode about the biology of The Last of Us in an attempt to tap into the zeitgeist! What’s the deal with Cordyceps? Could this happen in real life? Are we doing SEO right??

Stuff dies all the time, and sometimes those dead things are weird looking! This is two of those times.
Wyatt leads with the Rhodope skull, the mysterious bone specimen that folks were only too excited to immediately label an alien. And don’t get him STARTED on the Adygea skulls! Jake then hops on the alien train with the Kovahsi creature, also known as Kesha. What’s little and desiccated and doesn’t have wings, no matter how many publications say otherwise? Google Translate will save us!
“Horn core” is pretty fun to say. And that’s about all I’ve got left in the tank for this episode description.

Boy howdy, if this were the sort of podcast that had separate seasons, this episode sure would be the start of a new one! But it isn’t, so it’s not. Instead, enjoy two timely takes on some pervasive immunity myths! If you want to eat a lime or something, that’s fine.

October finally comes to an end, and holy wow another guest?! It must be time to celebrate Halloween the Superduperstitious way: by talking about apples!
Join the boys and special guest Casey Simpson of Artifact Cider Project to hear all about Jake’s regional seasonal frustrations, canals, and flashlights – the perfect Halloween trifecta! Oh and also a whole thing about the haunted house Casey’s grandparents owned for years, if you’re into that kind of thing.
All that, plus a surprise visit from Drew, a continuous dog presence, and all the weird clicking noises you could ever ask for! Stop reading this description and just listen already!!

In spite of others’ efforts to the contrary, October just keeps happening! And so, too, do the guests (which are, yes, still of the special variety).
The final guest before Halloween is none other than the founder of Four Phantoms, the groovy brewery in western Massachusetts that combines— you know what? You probably know all that by now. In that case, grab a beverage of your choosing, don’t get your leg exploded, and learn all about the man responsible for this dumb show having an actual sponsor! (And don't worry, there's ghosts AND science in this one.)

October continues! And the guests? Oh they’re special all right.
This week, the boys are joined by two thirds of the delightful podcast Monster Movie Happy Hour! Listen to four nerds talk about the spooky media that brings them the most joy, from classics of the silver screen, to camp-tastic sci fi offerings of the more recent past.
And be sure to follow the link below to check out the show! Get to know Scott Chesebrough, Dave Geister, and the unfortunately-dead-to-us Mary Challman as you enjoy a cocktail and learn what it truly means to be a monster kid. Cheers!

Episode 168 – Survival of the Storytelling-est (feat. Christa Adams)
October begins, and with it, a whole month of special guests! How else would we make this month stand out?
This first episode features the fantastic Christa, who weaseled her way into a podcast appearance by sheer will! Luckily she makes up for it with a fantastic discussion of the anthropological functions of scary stories and storytelling in general. So don’t pretend like this isn’t still a science show!
Grab some candy corn or whatever and buckle in, because October starts… a few days ago!!

The month marches on, and still no Wyatt?? Luckily additional assistance can be found at this next stop of August Around the World: Ireland!
Emma from Real Life Ghost Stories leads Jake on a tour of her homeland with a tale perfectly tailored to this show: a folkloric mystery with a very satisfying scientific conclusion! And also music and fairies – it’s the total package, really. Jake follows this with a bunch of cats.
Have you encountered our lost cohost out there somewhere? If you see something, say something! But in the meantime, enjoy what is surely this week’s ONLY episode of Superduperstitious.

August Around the World continues, though not without incident...
Wyatt is MIA after a SNAFU with the NCAAA, so it’s up to friend of the show and Taiwan expert Cece to lead the way through this week’s travels! Ever the professional, she brings a wealth of history and culture to the episode, AND delivers on the spooks with a trio of ghost stories. Jake talks about some gross bugs or whatever.
Take off your coat and grab a bubble tea as you settle in for another exciting episode of Superduperstitious!

It’s once again that special time of year when the boys get their traveling shoes on (??) and start telling stories around the world! Everything is probably going to go exactly as planned!
The first stop on this month-long journey is Eastern Europe and More Specifically Hungary. Jake kicks it off with an all-purpose supernatural being called a lidérc, which is equally likely to do you favors while eating your butter and then killing you, or else sexing you so good every single night (and then killing you). It’s a chicken-tastic fun time! Wyatt then humors both hosts’ pet interests with a pale humanoid that is also apelike. Sometimes called the Woodcutter of Mátranovák, sometimes called the Treeskinner, this eerie beastie has one thing all cryptids strive for: BLURRY. PHOTOGRAPHIC. EVIDENCE.
Grab an entirely unspecified plane ticket and join in for the beginning of this year’s August Around the World!
