30 JAN 2022 · 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 than the wild secret twin brother theory from the Leo DiCaprio film, but no matter how you slice it, this tale and all of its drama are very, very French.

23 JAN 2022 · 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. From a mysteriously inhospitable patch of land in North Carolina to a well in Kansas that may be a portkey and a haunted house that really doesn't like men, these ladies have cooked up a lot of laughs and spookiness!

19 JAN 2022 · 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?

16 JAN 2022 · 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 tower, like ever.

9 JAN 2022 · It's a lake fart! It's mummified Rasputin! No, it's the Van Gölü Canavarı, aka the Lake Van monster! 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. This large, serpentine being was even investigated by the government in the mid-1990s. Is there a giant lake monster making Van Gölü its home or could something else be causing all the strange encounters?

2 JAN 2022 · 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?). To finish our auditory feast, Ashley offers a brief exploration of the deluge myth, so make sure your giant ark is seaworthy and make yourself comfortable because this could go on for 126 years.

26 DEC 2021 · Look! In the middle of the road! It's a poorly drawn cow! It's a flirty dolphin! It's a Not Deer! 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. This multi-eyed, drooling, whirly limbed creature is certainly terrifying, but could there possibly be a natural explanation? Have a seat and settle in for a bite of Not Deer venison.
