About this listen

This episode is about the legendary pigman of Denton, Texas. Kinda.

The thing is, I'd never heard of the pigman, so it's really an episode about how urban legends and folklore are spread, what makes one urban legend take off while another lingers in obscurity, and what our urban legends say about us.

Though I do also tell the story of the pigman somewhere in there.

Highlights include:

  • the "Cowboy Mafia"
  • the WPA Folklore Project

Content note: this episode contains a brief mention of sexual assault, stories about violent attacks that lead to disfigurement, quoted language that suggests that facial disfigurement is tied to someone's moral character, mentions of the war on drugs and corruption in the U.S. legal system.
