On this week's episode, the legendary witch from Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga, is summoned by librarian and writer Moni Barrette (Creators Assemble, Enhance Your Library, Enhance Your Well Being). Jessi counters with the Norse zombie, the Draugr. Will the spell-casting crone and her vicious gaggle of geese peck this Nordic revenant to death, or will the Draugr freeze them in their own personal hell? Listen on to f...
On this week's episode, it's clay versus fur as podcast host Sam Gasch (Ideal Remake) brings in the mythical Golem.

We also debate the height of Great Lakes waves, discuss movie remakes, and dig up what Dogman means to folks from the Upper Peninsula.&n...
Christopher Nolan's latest epic may have banked over a billion dollars, but it didn't answer the most important question: who would win in a fight between Scylla and Charybdis? It's the classic rock-and-a-hard place conundrum, as the six-headed rock monster takes on the whirlpool-forming sea serpent. We also have guest appearances from Zeus and Poseidon, suggest some other Odyssey adaptations to check out, and of course, discuss th...
On this encounter-only episode, we have our first whodunit! Guest Stevie Duffy (Old Bastards) brings in Ammit the Devourer, an immortal Egyptian entity that weighs the hearts of the dead. But when someone shows up without a heart, it seems like Jessi's El-Naddaha might be the culprit. Will two hearts beat as one? Or will El-Naddaha call for a recount? Listen in to find out!

Listen in to find out.

We've all heard of vampires, but did you know there were vampire pumpkins? And vamps that split in half? We get into both this week when T.V. writer Ray Utarnachitt (Stranger Things: Tales from '85) joins the podcast. Ray pits the Manananggal, a mythical monster from the Philippines, against a group of blood-sucking gourds, but only one can reign supreme. Which one splits and which one splatters?

Jessi won a Nebula! We talk a little about her otherworldly experience (and get a glimpse of the award), then it's all about dogs versus gargoyles! Jessi and Matt welcome author Megan Haskell to discuss carnivorous pixies, creative battles, and exactly what kind of canine Cerberus is. Then cheer on the three-headed hound of hell as they go head to head (and head, and head) against Goji: The First Gargoyle.
