The Those dWEEBs Podcast

Michelle and Julia got to go on a brand new adventure this weekend, attending the book convention, Dreaming Dirty in Michigan. It was an amazing new experience for them both, as it held a completely different vibe to the conventions they have gone to for cosplay. Every author with their own unique books, all of them incredibly nice and informative. The overall experience was super inspiring for them as they are plotting out their o...

Come with me as I talk about the lesser talked about subject known as the Casket Girls. This subject first drew my attention as I was watching The Originals, the spin off of The Vampire Diaries, based in New Orleans. When I got to the episode revolving the festival, something about it really caught my attention and spoke to me, given that it's not one you typically hear about outside of New Orleans itself. So I wanted to bring it i...

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

I'm so sorry that it has been a hot minute since I have done an episode for you all, but things should be on the up and up from here out. We might even be able to get back into editing videos for the channel! That being said, I do hope you all enjoy this deep dive into the history of St. Patrick's Day and I'm very curious to if there are any other holidays you'd like me to cover the origins in. Or ...

Hello and welcome to the first recorded podcast of 2025 and this time around we are trying something new for the podcast. Come with me as I dip my toes into the true crime realm as urban legend melds with reality with the Legend of Cropsy, which originates from Staten Island, New York, and given this is the first time, truthfully, I didn't go into the gory details involved. But maybe as I do more, I'll try out more of them and see ...

Welcome to the first episode of 2025 everyone! 

We wanted to add something a bit different to the podcast by discussing unpopular anime opinions we found online. I want to emphasize that these are simply our opinions, but we are always willing to listen to others' thoughts and opinions as well! So if you have anything you want to add or disagree with, please comment down below and we will absolutely get back to you!

Come along on this interesting Welsh custom, one that I once thought would be similar to the previous ones, that delighted and surprised me by being one of humor and fun. The Mari Lwyd was the perfect finale for a more lighthearted and beautiful legend that I would love to participate in at some point in my life. What I once thought scary from the outside was both meaningful and impactful!

Are there any legends or customs that you ...

Come with me as I dive into the wonderful and expansive history of mermaids. from their mythologies to their influences in modern media. Words can't even begin to express how much these mythological creatures mean to me and how much they have made a difference in my life. This will have a second part to it when I have Michelle with me as we go into our thoughts, feelings, and more when swimming in a mermaid tail.

I want to preface this by saying this episode contains mention of violence, murder, and suicide. If any of these topics are triggering, please skip this episode and check out our other episodes.

We venture into Adam Selzer's book "The Ghosts of Chicago" today and check into the Congress Hotel. Originally built in 1893, this hotel became home to people from different walks of life, and with that, came different tragedies that befell...

Happy Halloween or a Blessed Samhain to you all! 

These four stories come from Dan Asfar's "Ghost Stories of Michigan" and while not extremely scary, each has a very different supernatural vibe for the spirit of the season. I have to say that learning about the Calumet Theatre in the Upper Peninsula was one of my favorite things about this one, including that of The Blue Man. I want to jump back into this book of the stories I have...

On this spooky night, we venture into Silent Hill or by its proper name, Centralia, Pennsylvania. This has been a topic that has interested me for over a decade now, a teenager fascinated and frightened by the imagery of Silent Hill, only to find out as I got older that the town was based on a real location. I was watching the videos for the city, seeing its spooky abandoned streets, the steam vents popping up out of nowhere, the e...

WARNING: This episode mentions death and suicide, if you are not able to listen to things involving either, please skip this one.

This week, I decided to read out of Caroline Taggart's book "Does A Bear Shit in the Woods?" Answers to Rhetorical Questions. Many have heard many of these asked over time and wondered "Is there even a proper answer to that?" And long story short...yeah there is! I picked up this fun and interesting book at the library where I work and decided to give it a shot here on the podcast. Because h...
