Hello dear listeners and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky.

This week, I bring you The Well by W.W. Jacobs, a charmingly twisted little tale. You’ve likely heard of The Monkey’s Paw (if you haven’t, you should get on that,) but The Well may have slipped past your radar. Well, here it is for your listening pleasure. Read with permission from Project Gutenberg. The Well is a haunting piece of prose that is delightfully dark and difficult to forget.

In the season finale, I talk to Michael Colby of the podcast Jack Billings Presents: Haunted Apartment Complex. We cover a few topics from ghost hunting to cryptids, making this one glorious romp of an interview! Michael's unquenchable thirst to experience paranormal happenings is fascinating and, honestly, his stick-to-it-tiveness is both refreshing and perplexing. Particularly for someone like me. 

I'll go on a brief hiatus to gather materials for next season. Date to come! Until then, Stay Spooky!

In this episode, I delve into the Victorian tradition of storytelling and what caused those who lived during the time period to be so entranced by the practice of telling ghost stories. 

Huge thanks to those who sent messages of condolence and supported me during the last little while. You know who you are and you are loved and appreciated.

Hello dear listeners, and welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network. Your bi-weekly foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. This week I bring you vampire legend and lore and the strange connection it shares with early understanding of disease and affliction.

While I have your ear, I also wanted to let you know that I’ll be teaching the first of (I hope) many English courses this fall so episodes of the podcast might be staggered depending on the workload. The concept of teaching at the collegiate level is still quite new to me so it might take me a couple of weeks to get into the swing. As always, I’ll keep you posted as things progress.

Hello dear listeners, welcome back to another episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your bi-weekly foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. This week I have a little something special for all of you. Sometimes the pods on the network collab to create unique content and this week my episode features not one but TWO creepy cohorts. Huge thanks to Kathryn and Hayley from the Saturdays Are for the Ghouls podcast for joining me to talk about film and folklore, two of my favorite subjects. In our chat, we tackle the folklore surrounding A Nightmare on Elm Street and discuss all things horror. The audio is a little low in places and I’ve done my best to bring it up to standard, but just so you’re in the know.  I hope you enjoy this week’s episode and, as always, Stay Spooky!

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to a new episode of The ODDentity Podcast on the PodMoth Media Network, your bi-weekly foray into the weird, wonky, and sometimes downright spooky. If you’re looking for more great podcasts to binge, head on over to podmoth.network.

In this episode, I revisit a past topic that is crying out for the new format. The story of Ray Robinson, also known as The Green Man. This topic was originally recorded sometime in season 4, but I think it’s weird and wonderful which means it deserves a re-record.
