S9 Ep. 5: Victorian Crusties

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.

S9 Ep. 4: Bloodsuckers

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.

S9 Ep. 3: Freddy’s Coming for You

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!

S9 Ep. 2: The Green Man

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.

FEED TAKEOVER! Bad Acts Ep. 45-Toxic Love_ The Murder of Michael Redlick

Bad Acts: A True Crime Podcast 
Ep. 45-Toxic Love: The Murder of Michael Redlick 
In January 2019, police arrived at a home in Winter Park, Florida to find Danielle Redlick covered in blood. Her husband Michael lay dead in their living room. Danielle told authorities Michael stabbed himself to death, but the couple's history of domestic violence and the medical examiner's report suggested otherwise. With friends and family telling tales of Danielle abusing Michael, it's clear domestic violence was present in the Redlick home, but was Danielle a victim, too?
