S10 Ep. 5: Of Boys and Bergs

Hello dear listeners and welcome back to a new episode! This time around I wanted to share something kind of special considering my brush with death. Please enjoy this original folklore tale created by yours truly. 
Also, please note that this is episode 5. The next episode will feature an interview, as is custom. At that point, I'll see where I am in terms of recovery, but I may take a break from podcasting until the beginning of next year in order to focus on getting the winter issue of my literary journal completed. I'll update in the next few weeks. Cheers!

S10 Ep. 4: Mackenberg

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 offer a tale that weaves together spiritualism, Harry Houdini, and a detective named Rose Mackenberg. As you may remember from a past episode, Houdini wasn’t a fan of spiritualists. He saw them as charlatans who took impressionable and grieving individuals for their money.
This episode marks summer hiatus for the podcast. I'll return in September with more tales of the strange, weird, and macabre. Until then, Stay Spooky!

S10 Ep. 2: The Well

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.

S9 Ep. 6: INTERVIEW: Ghost Hunting w/Michael Colby

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!
