Episode 26 - The Necessary Forest Demon (Ew'ha / Wampus Cat)

In this episode we learn about a Cherokee legend and a Southern US folklore cryptid. Depending on where you hear the story first you might hear it called the Ew'ha or the Wampus Cat. Either way this forest creature is formidable and brings necessary change with it. Somehow Aaron forgot to bring up the fact that it has six legs and occasionally walks on it's hind legs, no big deal, right?

Episode 22 - Some Nature Loving Ghost Pants (Fresno Nightcrawlers and Carmel Creature)

In this episode Aaron talks about some sightings of an unusual creature that first took place in Fresno, California in 2007. This sparked a minimal number of sightings since then, including one in Yosemite National Park. Listen in as we explore the Fresno Nightcrawlers. They were named this due to their initial sighting, apparently there must be another cryptid named the adorable little ghost pants because we think that is a more fitting name.

Episode 19: There Was a Cornucopia Behind the Fruit! (The Mandela Effect) Feat Zero-Goblin

This episode has been in the planning stage for years! Aaron has been trying to coordinate having Zero-Goblin join him on a podcast for at least the last three years and all the hard work and planning has come to fruition in this episode. It's been years since Aaron has done a non-solo episode so there were a few hiccups along the way with audio and video but it's all edited and ready for your listening enjoyment now. Apologies if the sound is not the best quality at certain points. Join Aaron and Zero-Goblin as they examine the strange phenomenon known as The Mandela Effect. And while I may have forgotten to bring it up in the episode C-3PO never had a silver leg and was always the fully golden god of the Ewoks!...but maybe you remember it differently.

DOTU Halloween Reads 2023: The Fall Of The House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe

It's that time of year again when Aaron brings some class to the podcast with classic literature. It is October, it is Fall, it is Halloween! This year Aaron reads The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe. Aaron was inspired to choose this story after watching the new Netflix series with the same title, which is NOT about the crumbling empire of early 2000's R&B singer, song writer, performer and pop sensation Usher, this tells the tale of the fall of a family of great prestige and the problems that can occur when not branching out the family tree. So, sit back, put on your favorite hoodie, grab a cup of hot apple cider and enjoy!
