S4 E34: For Whom The Bell Tolls - The WWII Church Bell Conspiracy
Welcome back to your favorite podcast, That Would Be Rad!
This week, Woody and Tyler take a deep dive into the enigmatic world of ancient frequencies and hidden histories. From the mysterious Tartaria theories to the power of sound, this episode is a blend of conspiracy, history, and the unexplained.
Imagine a world where the sound of bells could ward off evil spirits and bring peace to the soul. Tyler and Woody explore the ancient significance of church bells and their potential connection to lost technologies. Could these bells, confiscated during wartime, hold the key to understanding a forgotten past? The duo delves into the possibility of an ancient civilization with advanced knowledge, hidden from our history books.
They also discuss the intriguing shift in musical tuning from 432Hz to 440Hz, a change that might have altered the natural harmony of sound.
Is there a hidden agenda behind this shift?
And how does it connect to the broader narrative of suppressed ancient knowledge?
Join us as we uncover the layers of mystery surrounding old world architecture, sound frequencies, and the enigmatic Tartaria. Whether you're here for the historical intrigue, the conspiracy theories, or just to hear two best friends explore the unknown, this episode promises to challenge your perception of history and reality.

S4 E36: Terrifying Christmas Creatures - Volume Two
Think the holiday season is all cheer and twinkling lights? Think again.
This week, Woody and Tyler pull back the curtain on even darker legends and terrifying creatures that have haunted Christmas traditions for centuries. From the windswept shores of Scotland to the snow-covered peaks of Iceland, weāre diving headfirst into holiday horrors youāve never heard before.
Knucklavee ā the skinless, horse-like nightmare of the Orkney Islands that terrorizes with its grotesque form. HabergeiĆ ā Bavariaās vampiric goat-woman thatās as bloodthirsty as she is chilling. Mari Lwyd ā a ghostly, horse-skulled figure from Wales that challenges you to a rhyming duel...at your front door. Hans Trapp ā the scarecrow-like German legend who stalks the wicked with sinister intent.
And thatās just the beginning. Woody and Tyler also unearth the dark origins of The Nutcrackerāa tale far more nightmarish than the ballet suggests.
Plus, youāll meet GrĆ½la, Icelandās infamous ogress who feasts on naughty children, and the mischievous Kallikantzaroi from the Balkans, who emerge each year to wreak havoc, and MANY MORE.
So light a candle, grab a blanket, and press play... if you dare.
This is Part 2 of our spine-tingling holiday series, and trust us: the monsters are only getting bigger.
