Probably Improbable Podcast

Happy Winter Holiday of Choice! Carly delves into "Christmas monsters" with Iceland's Jolakotturinn, (or Yule Cat, because 'Yule Cat' is much easier to say if you're an American unfamiliar with Icelandic pronunciation). Join the ladies as they discuss the most adorable monster! Sam perfects her various kitten sounds, and Carly figures out all of the ideal work-arounds to not get devoured by the cutest beast.

Episode 25: Bluebeard (Just ignore the anthropomorphic wardrobe)

Sam is enjoying her slightly new direction with her episodes by again recounting an old folktale. This time it's the mysterious wealthy landowner, and multi-widower, Bluebeard. Join this discouraged actress and discouraged blood-ologist in a time, long ago, when women were viewed primarily as currency, property, or simply a huge inconvenience, where Sam weaves an unforgettable tale of Bluebeard.

Episode 27: The Missouri Monster, Momo (It smells like flat yeti)

Sam returns to her favorite source for inspiration, Coast to Coast, and tells Carly about the most-adorably-named-giant-hairy-bigfoot-type-thing, Momo the Missouri Monster! Join Sam as she takes you back to the 1970s in Louisiana (the city, not the state), when locals briefly experienced a shag-carpet-muscular-mustache-headed-monster that reportedly (according to Sam's report) "smelled like ass." What's not to love?! Journey down south, and solve the illusive Momo footprint mystery. (Hint: He was probably carried by Jesus.)
