  • 181. Lincoln Park Zoo
    Dec 24 2025

    Zoos are fine if you don't think about them too much. And almost none of them have thousands of corpses beneath them!

    This is the story of the Lincoln Park Zoo. Come for the ghosts, stay for puma content, the New Yerk Yerkies, this podcast makes you horny, a little wander down the fairy path, more chained animals please, lessons from Jurassic Park, I miss the goop, will you look at me, and bone raffle.

  • 180. The Ghost of Jacob's Island
    Dec 17 2025

    They can't all be winners.

    This is the story of the ghost of Jacob's Island. Come for the ghost, stay for pudding out the fire, a little bit quieter every day, the worst color for water, the Hindu Exorcist, Is This a Train?, and a subset of American congresspeople.

  • 179. Dyer Lane
    Dec 10 2025

    Patrick gets pretty excited about the sexy witches in this one, you're going to really like it!

    This is the story of Dyer Lane. Come for the ghosts, stay for a national conversation about parades, the half plus seven rule, classic America stuff, a disappearance of women, don’t let my pigs see me like this, tractor violence, and the coven-tractor-demon tarot.
