Episode 96 – Sedimentary, My Dear Watson
Superduperstitious
02/09/20 • 67 min
Mountains: you can be on them, near them, and maybe even under them if things aren’t going great for you. Here’s an ep about that!
Jake’s up first, with both a PSA about not believing every viral video you see AND a story about ghostly experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Is The Presence of Mount Washington real, or are people just freaking themselves out on a windy peak? Nail down a pair of boots and find out!
Following an especially visceral round of Shadowlands Roulette, Wyatt describes the Sheppton Mine disaster, complete all the popes that were definitely there and the Louises who definitely weren’t. But who among us hasn’t wanted to make at least A FEW burgers out of our friends and coworkers, I mean REALLY.
What even are release dates, anyway? Nobody knows! Here’s a new episode of Superduperstitious.

Episode 95 – Young Santa
Superduperstitious
01/25/20 • 44 min
Listener stories are always welcome at Superduperstitious, but not without raising the immortal question: are these stories GOOD?
Listener Nick Smith kindly provides a pair of personal accounts of the spooky, so Wyatt and Jake kindly provide feedback on their quality, since that’s what Nick was surely wanting. And they of course achieve this by comparing to some top notch stories from the Website of Only Good Writing, Reddit!
Wyatt begins by revisiting sleep paralysis. From ticked off Anubises to cuckolding ghosts, this segment’s got it all. Jake then goes Full PedanticTM with grammar as he looks into some haunted house happenings. NOTHING is more terrifying than verb/subject agreement.
Strap in for some good listening, and consider sending your own tales to [email protected]!

Episode 92 – Because of Scared
Superduperstitious
12/27/19 • 66 min
What was meant to be a Boxing Day episode is now a day later, but you know what? It’s still all winter stories, friend!
After another installment in the endless tide of Chicago bat goofness, Jake finally yields some ape ground with a few yeti accounts. He may be pretty damned skeptical of it all, but perhaps there is SOME plausibility in them thar hills. However, a bunch of big fish stories from a bunch of overexcited Europeans is ALWAYS something to take with a bunch of grains of salt.
Wyatt then takes a page out of Jake’s book and turns to Reddit for some backyard spooks. What horrible shadow creature has glowing yellow eyes and can glide through snow toward your back porch? Could it be a horny mountain lion?
This ep is full of goose flesh, people on mountains indistinctly seeing other people on mountains, and all the moose howls you could ask for. Check it all out on the last Superduperstitious of the year!

Episode 91 – Rat King Cole
Superduperstitious
12/21/19 • 67 min
Finally, an episode in December! Is it any surprise that it’s about cryptids?
After a lengthy but important update on the Phantom of the Chicago, Wyatt kicks off with the tale of Zana, a supposed ape woman held captive in the most difficult to pronounce reaches of the 19th-century Western Caucasus. Was she really a bipedal ape creature, or were these people just HOLY SHIT THE MOST RACIST MONSTERS IMAGINABLE? Could the answer possibly be anything BUT the latter?
Jake then gets German with the Rat King, a ball o’ rat phenomenon believed to occur all the damned time. But are rats REALLY as gross as people want to believe? And are they that bad at being alive and not fusing together? FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Don’t let the stats from the time of recording fool you: take it from America’s 225th most popular Natural Sciences podcast, Superduperstitious!

Episode 90 – kthx(gvng) bye
Superduperstitious
11/29/19 • 55 min
It’s Thanks-friggin-giving, and Wyatt and Jake are thankful for one thing above all else — being together again in the same room! The most obvious way to celebrate this is of course by telling some vaguely holiday-appropriate stories, so that happens.
After some much-needed bat updates, Jake hits us with a pair of paranormal accounts that kinda sorta maybe REFERENCE Thanksgiving? Whatever. Just watch out for disappearing, creepy kids in red shirts and horrific, inhuman, staggering grey masses that whisper to you at night.
Wyatt heads in another direction entirely, with the history of the fringe Christian belief in the rapture. Are all the good folks gonna get poofed away? Why come everyone don’t believes that? The answers to some of that and more can all be found in this binder (and these twelve thumb drives).
Keep eating stuffing and NEVER, EVER STOP — it’s Superduperstitious time!

Episode 89 – Monkey Business
Superduperstitious
11/21/19 • 52 min
They’re apes. We KNOW. But how often do you hear anyone say “aping around”? I mean REALLY.
But yeah! It’s an ape ep for the ages. Wyatt leads off with the story of De Loys’ Ape, and the spooky photo that gave it such staying power. Are there really giant, bipedal humanoid primates lurking in the forests of South America? Just as surely as humans from different continents somehow evolved from different species! (No.)
Jake then hops on the hominid fraud train with Piltdown Man, the U.K.’s unfortunate contribution to a European paleontological pissing contest. Sometimes, if you’re looking hard enough for a Missing Link, you’ll accept ANY EVIDENCE that suggests you found it. Even if it comes from a non-scientist known for faking shit.
Cut the tail off a monkey, slap some unrelated bones together, and tune on into a history- and science-filled episode of Superduperstitious!

Episode 88 – Dog Sh!t 2: Even More Dog Sh!t
Superduperstitious
11/14/19 • 64 min
Canine-adjacent stories keep piling up, so it’s time to release the hounds! Except the “hounds” are those aforementioned stories, and “releasing” them is telling them. It’s good!
This week, you’ll hear a series of encounters with mysteries dog-looking things, mostly on the side of the road at night, including Wyatt’s own experience! Then, you’ll tuck into a ghastly tale of douchebags and coal furnaces, complete with audio accompaniment. And rest assured, you’ll get a very important PSA about responsible cat ownership, and learn Jake’s least favorite internet zeitgeist-y way of referring to this overall genre.
Pennsylvania listeners, hold onto your butts! It’s time for Superduperstitious.

Episode 85 – The (Italian) Old Man and the (Adriatic) Sea (Monster)
Superduperstitious
10/17/19 • 57 min
Another week in October means another exciting guest, but this episode is doing things a bit differently...
The boys head to Springfield, MA to join Italian scholar and Wyatt’s old pal THERESA BERARD, who shares a Dino Buzzati sea monster tale right in Wyatt’s haunted childhood home (see Episode 3). He and Jake are used to doing the reading, but now it’s THEIR turn to have a story read to THEM! And by someone far better prepared than they’re used to being.
You’ll hear all about a relentless shark thing that follows its unlucky victim FOREVER, and you’ll marvel at Theresa’s ability to power through in spite of Wyatt’s and Jake’s increasing attempts to derail. And then all three take part in an extra-cursed round of Shadowlands Roulette!
Halloween draws ever closer, and the guest appearances get ever more fun — grab some iron or some balls and listen in to this sea-centric ep!

Episode 83 – Windy City Spirits
Superduperstitious
10/03/19 • 59 min
It’s officially the Spooky TimesTM, and that means the beginning of a full month of awesome guests with tasty tales!
First up is JONATHAN KNOTEK, co-founder of Chicago Prohibition Tours and Chicago history guru. You’ll learn all about the city’s mobster-filled past, some of the ghosts that have resulted, and Jonathan’s own potential run-ins with the supernatural. From a banging bust of Harry Caray, to phantom forest lights, to a possible final solution to what actually goes into an Irish Crocodile, this episode’s got it all!
Point your dog out of the bathroom, ignore all that moaning in the trees, and help yourself to a glass of the straight juice as you tuck into a slice of deep dish — and the beginning of October with Superduperstitious!

Wait, are we still doing this? Wasn’t last week’s the big finale?? Oh jeez, didn’t really prepare anything for this, uhhh...
Join Jake and Wyatt as they look over their first hundred episodes — and the life choices that brought them here — with a small selection of topics to revisit from the first few years of the show’s run! And stick around for the next hundred eps. They’ll probably be good, too!
