Jess & Hids Make A Podcast
Just a couple of aspiring writers that want to tell you about all the cool stuff we know about a lot of super random things.
Episodes
Jess and Hids both get on some FBI watchlist somewhere... Jess gives a rundown on the history of poison gardens, lists some plants to watch out for on your walks or in your own gardens, and finds an interesting person to cover in a future episode!
Hids dives into what little information is available about Area 51, which is definitely NOT a top secret airbase but is absolutely highly classified and restricted ...
Turn off the lights, look in the mirror....chant 'Bloody Mary' three times....
Jess dives into an urban legend: Blood Mary! Did you ever try this when you had a sleepover?

Welcome aboard, find your seats and prepare for takeoff!
Did you know that celery was once a prized table centerpiece and a symbol of just how wealthy and bougie you were? Did you also know there was (allegedly) a Venetian Mirror Mafia? Hids dives into things that were once only available to the incredibly wealthy but were later considered common and for the masses.
Jess discusses Burt Shonberg, one of the pioneers of the psychedelic art era of the 1960s who'...
This week, Jess talks to us about Floriography, or the language of flowers. Not the same language we talked about in last weeks episode with screaming daffodils though, this one is all about the meaning of flowers and how what flowers you send in a bouquet or singly can have very specific meanings!
Hids takes a little dive into some psychological phenomena when they discuss the Third Man Factor, or Third Pers...
We did something a little different with this episode and played a very ADHD version of 21 Questions with each other!

Hids kicks off this episode with a dive into the alleged life and death of Joan Wytte from Bodmin, Cornwall, UK.

Because life is crazy at the moment, we decided to postpone our next episode! We want to make sure we're giving you quality stuff that isn't haphazardly thrown together while we're both stressed about other things!
BUT, we did want to share some warm embers with you, and talk about all the fun we're gonna have in April!! We're SO excited!
#NotACryptid - We both learned new things this week as Jess takes us on a little trip to ancient China and the history of the Fu Dogs! We initially thought these were in the 'mythological beast' category but we found out they are really just lions.
Hids takes us down under to Australia in 1932. Soldiers are coming home from the war and being given wheat farms, but a new battle arises. This one is ag...
Jess discusses the stilt walking shepherds of France, and Hids discusses a bit of the history of slang!

We didn't plan to have another Raven Riff so soon, but here we are! Travel time and some extra work hours pushed back our recording sessions and we had this one in our pocket ready to go.
We really had fun watching this one. It's a 1982 classic from Wes Craven. There's a lot of campy stuff, but it's a fun romp through the bayous of Texas and good and bad prosthetic work.
In this week's episode, Jess takes us back to the mountains of Western North Carolina, a place that Hids knows and loves so well! We talk about the mysterious Brown Mountain Lights...are they spirits, aliens, mushrooms, or trains?
Hids tackles a subject that's been on everyone's mind that past few years: Artificial Intelligence, or AI. We could honestly have multiple episodes on the vast amount of i...
In this episode, Jess touches on the three different types of hair forensics, and Hids introduces us to our first cryptid, the Squonk!

Jess gets all the women! In this episode she talks about the Night Witches of World War 2, a group of Russian female pilots and mechanics that ran impossible missions against all odds.
Hids shifts gears and talks about sports. Yeah, it's weird for us to talk about sports, but we are kind of obsessed with Kabaddi! It's an ancient game from India that is now played professionally around the world...
Every so often, we're going to be dropping a movie 'review' of sorts instead of our typical podcast episode.
This is where we riff on and discuss some wonderfully cheesy movie from the past, and then we'll give it a Raven Rating!
This week we're talking about Treasure of the Four Crowns. This movie was filmed in 3D and oh buddy, they definitely did alllllll the 'comin&a...
From the high seas to a cave somewhere in Greece, this episode dives into the myths and realities of the lives of pirates, and then we learn a little bit about math and the ancient philosopher/mathematician/musician/teacher etc., etc.: Pythagoras!

Jess takes us just an hour from our hometown to the ghost town of Two Guns, Arizona.
(Hey! It's Jess! I'm so sorry for completely forgetting to add a little trigger warning about the Death Caves. The story is gruesome...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
