  • Episode 63 — The Spirits of Pain and Sorrow

    Episode 63 — The Spirits of Pain and Sorrow
    Sep 3 2025

    We're back from our summer break! Dive into the world of the Algea with us—the spirits of pain, grief, and sorrow in Greek mythology. Born from Night itself, the Algea walked among the grieving and the wounded, reminding the ancient Greeks that suffering was as natural and inevitable as the dark.

    Kelsey shares their mythological origins, how the Greeks understood and lived with sorrow, and even what modern psychology can tell us about why grief feels like a presence all its own. It’s a thoughtful, haunting look at how humans across time have tried to make sense of pain.

  • Episode 61 — The Last Call: Feeling Death Before It Comes

    Episode 61 — The Last Call: Feeling Death Before It Comes
    Jul 9 2025

    What if you knew someone was going to die — before it happened? In this episode, Kaylee and Sheila dive into an anonymous listener story that sparks a conversation about the strange pull some people feel right before a loved one passes. From the urge to call, to the sudden need to visit someone’s bedside, they explore the theory that dying people may somehow “choose” who is with them in their final moments.

    Is this an intuitive gift? A divine appointment? Or something else entirely — fate, spirit, maybe even... grim reaper vibes? Tune in for a tender, curious exploration of the moments just before death, the people drawn to witness them, and the inexplicable energy that seems to guide it all.
