About this listen
In the frozen forests of the north, hunger takes shape. The Wendigo—emaciated, hollow-eyed, forever starving—haunts the stories of Cree, Ojibwe, and Innu peoples. But is it only a monster of legend… or something more?
In this Skeptic Wednesday, Alex and Evan follow the Wendigo’s trail across centuries: from the Jesuit writings of 1661, to Swift Runner—the man who ate his family, to Jack Fiddler, the last Wendigo hunter. Along the way, we explore Wendigo psychosis, the clash of cultures in colonial courts, and modern encounters that blur the line between myth and lived experience.
Is the Wendigo a spirit, a sickness, or simply hunger itself? Join us by the firelight and decide for yourself.
