WonderBinge2.13 - A Conceited ScribblerAnother listener request alert!! This week, Maria takes on a request for one of the East Coast's most well known cryptids. Deep in the Pine Barrens of south New Jersey, and sometimes even the surrounding areas of Philadelphia, a high-pitched scream will tear through the air, letting you know that its closing in on you. Some know this wyvern-esque creature as the Leads Devil, or the Pines Devil, but perhaps it is best known as The Jersey Devil. 2024-09-231h 08

WonderBinge2.12 - Good Old DadListener request!! Is one of America's most famous families, The Kennedys, actually cursed? Did JFK's dad forget to carry Madame Zeroni up the mountain? Have they been targeted by the mafia? According to one Kennedy, someone "up there" doesn't like them. 2024-09-091h 33

WonderBinge2.11 - Johnald AppyHammy came in clutch! Gen was supposed to report back to y'all this week, but her perfectionism got the best of her. Fortunately, Matt volunteered to chat about American folk-hero; Johnny Appleseed. Along the way, were remember another American folk-hero, John Henry, and whether or not Paul Bunion is a peper towel mascot.2024-08-2649 min

WonderBinge2.10 - The Perfect UniverseAs a continuation of an, unplanned yet ongoing, conversation between the hosts, Gen and Maria debate and create the "The Perfect Universe;" where many popular mascots finally have their places in society solidified. Hop on down to Lucky's bar to have a beer with Captain Crunch and The General, eat some of Lefty's famous Hamburger Helper, and discuss which of the four Fantanas are Wendy's real mom. Don't forget to tip your waiter, Geoffrey the Giraffe.2024-08-121h 26

WonderBinge2.9 - All Before LunchThanks to Tik Tok, and the ever-growing desire to fill-in the gaps of our history, more and more untold stories are becoming well known. An example of such a story is that of Yasuke: the first (known) black samurai! From anime series to video games, Yasuke's story has been told and retold many times, but audiences may not have known he was a real person. This week, Maria dives into the details about how an African body guard became a beloved confidant to a powerful feudal lord and changed Japanese history.2024-07-291h 15

WonderBinge2.8 - Worth Their SaltOh boy howdy, do we have a doozy for you today. Next up on the We Didn't Start the Fire train, Gen covers the Golden State Killer and how justice finally caught up to him! Victims and their families are resting easy, while criminals, who thought they've gotten away with their crimes, start to shake in their boots. 2024-07-151h 48

WonderBinge2.7 - Don’t Be Mean To Him. He’ll Die.Starting today, Genna is cheating - or at least, Maria feels that she is. Upon hearing Fall Out Boy's reimagination of Billy Joel's original song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire,' Gen realized that she was unfamiliar with many of the topics FOB was singing about. Is she simply ignorant? Uncultured? Why doesn't she know so many of these references? That is when she decided to use this opportunity to explore a whole pool of episode topics, pulling directly from the song's lyrics. Her first topic in her We Didn't Start the Fire series is the very first line of...2024-07-011h 00

WonderBinge2.6 - Cats Keep Their SecretsNow hiring: Rodent Control/Emotional Support Job Description: We are looking for a feline friend to join our crew aboard the SS WonderBinge. This position requires basic hunting and pouncing skills, sea legs, and minimal interaction with the rest of the crew. Personal tackle box, hammock, and ID will be issued upon hire date. Exceptional performance will be rewarded with titles, medals of honor, and biographies of your life. Please be advised that this position may include life-threatening circumstances, swimming, and sudden change of work location under different management. You may also be subject to having your name changed without...2024-06-1742 min

WonderBinge2.5 - The Kids Just Get It/Books Aren't RealBirds are not real: The very real, definitely not conspiratorial, government program designed to spy on us and put robot bird shit on our cars. You may be disturbed by the things you are about to hear, and if you have a pet bird... well... user discretion is advised. Since the recording of this episode, there has been an important update to the birds aren't real community. Please stay tuned until the end!! 2024-06-101h 11

WonderBinge2.4 - tHiRtYtWo FeETAs far as landmarks go, Blucifer is a staple among those flying in and out of Denver International Airport. As far as conspiracies go, the entire property seems to be a breeding ground. Secretly swarming with gargoyles and lizard people, this airport is home to many a creepy painting riddled with hidden meanings, and underground tunnels; a prime location for covert meetings that may or may not be discussing the apocalypse. Ps. Feel free to ignore the bird talk for now. We had to delay our Bird episode that was recorded before this lol 2024-05-2751 min

WonderBinge2.3 - Faster than the Speed of LoadingAre you searching for your latest existential crisis? Look no further! Wander down the rabbit hole with us, as we question our reality and whether or not we are living in a simulation. Are we the real life Sims? Or are we the first simulation creators? 2024-05-131h 18

WonderBinge2.2 - Rombled McDomblesAs suggested by the one and only Matty Ham, Maria tells us the story of the "Rooftop Robber," aka "Roofman", aka Jeffery Manchester. Manchester loved creating rooftop access to fast food restaurants, being courteous to frightened staff, hiding in the walls, regular exercise, and, of course, Spiderman.2024-04-2940 min

WonderBinge2.1 - Justice for the Spinsters!Hello listeners!! Welcome to Season 2!! Its been over a year since we've posted a research-based episode, but we're finally back on our bullshit! We have been dying to get back to y'all to share the plethora of topics bouncing around our brains. This episode is very special, for it is the first time that Maria and Gen combine research efforts on the same topic - Paganism/Witchcraft. While Maria dives into the history of witchery and related shenanigans, Gen explores the resurging interest in paganism and it's cultural significance. Special thanks to James Kull for...2024-04-201h 30

WonderBinge4th Birthday Cringe FestHappy 4th birthday to WonderBinge Podcast! Seriously, thank you guys so very much for sticking around after an entire year hiatus. This podcast is a passion project for us, and we are so grateful to have people to share our curiosity and silliness with. For WB's birthday this year, we've dug through some old, very embarassing notes from our younger years. Genna was unwittingly the star of the show, but Maria's talent as a writer has finally been revealed. “Dialogue is a conversation between two people.” 2024-04-2054 min

WonderBinge3rd Birthday SurpriseWe're alive and still kicking! Hopefully this episode finds you well, because we have had a whirlwind of a year. Nevertheless, we wanted to wish WonderBinge a Happy 3rd Birth by sharing an impromptu recording with our good friend, Sab! (https://www.instagram.com/intrepidbeans/) Stay tuned for more; we're cooking up some good info for Season 2!2023-04-2029 min

WonderBinge55 - Three-Wheeled TricycleWith special guest and close friend of the show, Matt Hammy, we kick off our final episode before our brief hiatus. In this episode, you get to know the gang a little better with a handful of not-too-terrible icebreaker questions. What is your weirdest talent/untalent? Polar bear vs. 20 penguins; who wins? Doors or wheels? Results may vary. 2022-05-1643 min

WonderBinge54 - Medieval Tik ToksHello, we're here to ruin your childhood. Did you know that many nursery rhymes, such as Rock-a Bye Baby and Jack and Jill, have much darker undertones? Queen Mary I, aka Bloody Mary, have quite a few dark rhymes attributed to her reign. Because there were not as many outlets for troublesome times as there are today, Maria and Gen have concluded that the only way to cope with tragedy was, and maybe still is, to sing about it. 2022-05-0257 min

WonderBinge2nd Birthday Blooper ReelAnother year gone by, and there were so many snippets that just didn't make the cut. But since we have attachment issues and couldn't get rid of these goofy little tidbits, we put them all in one place to be enjoyed by you! Happy Birthday WB!2022-04-2017 min

WonderBinge53 - DebunkificationWe're sorry to announce that Maria has officially lost the game and has caught the plague. She's still kicking and wondering, "what's with shadow people, ya know? Why do I keep randomly seeing shadows moving in the corners of my eyes?" The answer lies somewhere between ghosts, aliens, and science (probably aliens). 2022-04-181h 00

WonderBinge52 - Classic KlexAs requested in the previous episode, Maria satisfies Gen’s wondering by binging on the famous/infamous psychology test, Hermann Rorschach’s inkblots. As if we should even be surprised anymore - it turns out that the original test Rorschach developed was taken out of context and twisted to fit whatever particular mould later psychologists wanted. It should be noted that this is NOT A PERSONALITY TEST! Do not trust online inklot tests - they are misleading. Listen to find out why! Check out our good friend Connor's new podcast, SquareFront, where they never circle back - http...2022-03-211h 08

WonderBinge51 - Hella IntellaNot another episode about personality shit, Gen. We get it, you love talking about yourself. First your star sign, zodiac animal, and now your Myers-Briggs type? What even is the MBTI? What do those silly letters mean? We think you’re projecting.2022-03-071h 04

WonderBinge50 - Capital D DarknessWelcome to our mid-life crisis and our 50th episode! Today, Maria surprises Gen with a special guest to talk about something very near and dear to Maria’s heart – the best story-telling improv game and sometimes lifesaving experience, Dungeons and Dragons. The table is yours. — shoutout to our guest, Connor Riley --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wonderbingepod/message 2022-02-211h 03

WonderBinge49 - Geeking Out Over InterconnectednessHappy Chinese New Year! (As of February 1st) It is the year of the Water Tiger. What? Water Tiger? What could that mean? It turns out, there is much more to the Chinese Zodiac than meets the eye. You thought your zodiac sign was just your birth year, you say? Well think again! Please enjoy Genna completely geeking out over how the Western Zodiac and the Chinese Zodiac sorta kinda match up. If you'd like to get more information about your Chinese Zodiac sign(s), check out this zodiac calculator: https://psychicscience.org/pillars 2022-02-071h 00

WonderBinge48 - Is That Skeleton Gay?Finally, a wholesome epsiode full of introspective discussion and limited chaos (although there will always undoubtedly be chaos). Held for eternity in what the populace has named 'a lover’s embrace,' we’re talking about some of the most famous sets of human remains made popular by their interlocking limbs. While it's easy to initially assume that these couples were in love, what are the odds that this eternal embrace was simply a desperate grab for humanity in their final moments? To check out Maria somehow having fun without Genna, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/w...2022-01-2456 min

WonderBinge47 - Scream, Pop, ZapAs requested by Maria in episode 45, Genna will be talking about many of the dangerous inventions from the Edwardian Era. Shockingly, the Edwardians did not quite understand how to control the new discovery of electricity and took a deadly amount of time figuring out the effects of asbestos and radium on the human body. In Maria's least favorite fashion, Genna made sure to save the worst for last. 2022-01-1052 min

WonderBingeMinisode - Getting Eaten to DeathThe holidays are very crazy - so crazy, in fact, that we didn't have time to do research. But never fear! We have a special little minisode for you. You're being taken back in time to 2019, before we ever released WonderBinge, to a time when Gen was trying to figure out how to edit podcasts. Hope you enjoy! Per Maria's shout-out, here is the link to her debut with 'Queer Nobodies Play' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JawjaWMJjg 2021-12-2715 min

WonderBinge46 - Hipster ScienceWelcome to this extremely well prepared, well thought out, practically scripted, improv episode where Maria found enough time to breathe to tell us all about a few animals that people (primarily Europeans discovering the rest of the world) originally didn’t believe truly existed. This is why we have cryptozoology – to discuss and research the potential that certain animals are not myth, but are in fact quite real. Catch the ending to hear a friendly ‘hello’ from a very special quest.2021-12-131h 17

WonderBinge45 - Sewer YikesLISTENER SUGGESTION - Primary lesson of this epsiode: you can only learn some things the hard way... at least the first time around. During the Victorian and Edwardian Eras, there were several inventions created with the intent to make life easier, but ended up cutting lives short. Thank the stars that our ancestors have learned from their mistakes. 2021-11-2954 min

WonderBinge44 - Thicc NeckThief, bozo, potential killer and Edwardian celebrity, John Lee, was spared from his own execution, not once, not twice, but three times in February of 1885 at Exeter Prison. Was it the hand of God who spared him? And what happened to him afterward? For a plethora of information on this episode, please check out http://murderresearch.com/johnlee/the-man-they-could-not-find/2021-11-1536 min

WonderBinge43 - Turnip Head and The GoblinSo... life gets a little crazy sometimes... so much so that sometimes one just doesn't have the time to do notes for a podcast episode. Instead, this week Gen poses 5 semi-spooky hypothecial and straight-forward questions for Maria and herself to discuss such as; If aliens took over and put humans in zoo, what kind of snacks would you want patrons to throw at you? Which cryptid do you most identify with? And more! 2021-11-0143 min

WonderBinge42 - Skincare is WitchcraftIt’s part two of Werewolves, friends! We requested, and Maria delivered. This week, we’re taken even further back in time to when werewolfery was originally being taken to trial. Turns out – being a werewolf isn’t the crime, it’s the Satanery that seemingly went hand in hand. We discover, however, that werewolves don’t always involve a deal with the devil. Sometimes, they are god-sent.2021-10-1839 min

WonderBinge41 - My Platybits' Got HumorCan’t stop – won’t stop – we’re continuing out theme of WonderBOOnge this week with some well-known trickery. Mysterious creatures and local legends have brought people together in a very special way - with storytelling and a good shared laugh. Once you’ve been the one who’s duped, you can now be part of the club - waiting your turn to prank the next newbie in line. Special shout-out to the designer of the jackalope sticker - @_schmidte17_ on instagram 2021-10-0443 min

WonderBinge40 - Your Neighbor, the WerewolfIt's the 1800s, and you're doing whatever people did in the 1800s, when your neighbor comes to you for help with a mysterious injury. They've managed to shoot themselves in the arm, or break their jaw, or get tons of thorns stuck in their bum. You really want to get back to whatever you were doing, so you fix them up and send them on their way. Later on, you overhear a story about Mrs. Quigley encountering a werewolf the night before you fixed up the your neighbor; a story in which the Mrs. Quigley caused the werewolf an...2021-09-2040 min

WonderBinge39 - Cricket and StormyHave you ever wondered if your pet was your familiar? Maybe you feel particularly attached to eachother, or perhaps your pet always seems to be interested in your witchiness. If you'd like, this episode contains just the spell to bond your pet to you forever. Another shout-out to Mars Counsel for their live performances! If you'd like to Gen's post of them on Instagram, you can find her @genna_veeeve (https://www.instagram.com/genna_veeeve/?hl=en) Follow Mars Counsel @marscounsel (https://www.instagram.com/marscounsel/?hl=en)2021-09-0636 min

WonderBinge38 - Clippy Is Our DownfallCalling all millenials for a nostaglia trip! In all of time and space and creation, there are bound to be some inventions that were created with the best intentions and ended up becoming so bad they acquired meme status as one of the most annoying and hated inventions to date. Though nothing more than a thin metal wire, Clippit, more commonly known as Clippy, will help you find what you need and keep it all together… or so they thought.2021-08-2349 min

WonderBinge37 - Happy Bday, Praise the BeefHave you ever had the feeling that you’re all out of whack? Have you felt a tightness of spirit, or possibly a strange physical ache in one area that medicine couldn’t soothe? Maybe you need a doctor, a special potion or a priestess - or maybe your troubles can only be solved by you. Maybe you simply need to sit straight, find your inner quiet, and unblock realign your 7 chakras. 2021-08-091h 02

WonderBinge36 - Little Pirate PartyAvast ye scallywags and land lubbers! Put on your sea legs and grab yourself a clap of thunder; cut the scuttlebutt and get three sheets into Piracy 101. We’ve got a crash course in all things Pirate – a brief history, ThE cOdE, superstition, and most importantly – SLANG. Ye who dare break the code or toss a cat to Davey Jones will be dancin’ the hempin’ jig with Jack Catch and telling no tales in the briny deep – savvy?2021-07-261h 02

WonderBinge35 - Burgles and RobblesMaps leading to buried treasure have been sparking imagination for hundreds of years. Most of us nowadays see treasure hunting as a childhood fantasy - and any allegedly true treasure maps are the result of an imagination run too wild - but what if I told you that some of these treasure maps were real? Would your own imagination be sparked once again? Would you try to find it? What if you could? Today, Gen digs into the tales of the supposed treasures hidden somewhere in the USA.2021-07-1253 min

WonderBinge34 - Dear Ol' Fae DaddyWe’ve all had our fill of ancient gods and mythic tales of fighting and grandeur… or at least, you may have thought that! When it comes to ancient gods, Celtic culture is often swept under the rug and forgotten, but this week, we’re bringing it to the forefront. Maria deep dives in the story of the Celtic demi-god, Sétanta / Cú Chulainn. As the human incarnation of the god Lugh, and son of the human Deichtine, Cú Chulainn managed to accomplish quite a lot of things before his untimely, yet prophesied, death. These accomplishments include, but are not limited t...2021-06-281h 08

WonderBinge33 - Mercury in RetrogradeAs a, slightly unintentional but kind of completely intential, continuation of the theme of stars from the previous epsiode, we're diving into the Western Astrological Zodiac. Who, when and why were star signs used? How do you read a birth chart? What the hell does it mean when Mercury is in retrograde and why do people care so much? We've got (most) answers and more!2021-06-1458 min

WonderBinge1st Birthday Blooper ReelSorry it's a bit late, but welcome to WonderBinge's 1st official Birthday Blooper Reel! These are the most amusing of the outtakes and general goofiness that didn't make it into the final cuts of the episodes recorded during our first year. Hope you enjoy!2021-06-0711 min

WonderBinge32 - Maria's AutobiographyPeople are strange and unique. There are those who create and those who destroy and those who analyze and those who just exist. You may have heard someone saying their child has an “old soul” or that it’s like they’re from a whole other world. And sure, many people say this about their children, it’s natural to believe that your child is special, but Crystal, Indigo, Rainbow, and Star Seed children are a certain kind of special, displaying characteristics that push the boundaries of what is assumed to be our reality. https://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=https...2021-05-3141 min

WonderBinge31 - A Sticky SituationLISTENER REQUEST! It was January 15th of 1919 in Boston Mass. when a collective nightmare became reality - a terrible dream where you try desperately to run, only to have your breathing labored and your movements feel unnaturally slow as though you’re running through water… or maybe molasses. It was an average afternoon on this January day, and the people of Keany Square were going about their business. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and a deep rumble filled the air. An earthquake? Some may have wondered - before the screeching sound of metal tearing, and a BANG like a th...2021-05-1740 min

WonderBinge30 - Not *For* DeerIf you have a license, you’ve likely encountered this scenario: It’s late, you’re driving home, perhaps on a dark back road - a shortcut if you will - and on the side of the road, in the peripheral shine of your headlights, you see that tell-tale reflection of eyes. Some may even have experienced that heart stopping moment of quickly breaking to a halt as that classic deer in the headlights stands staring back at you in the darkness. Deer are creepy in their own right. But in the Appalachian Mountain region of North America, there is someth...2021-05-0337 min

WonderBingeGet the Gist of WonderBingeWelcome to WonderBinge Podcast! Thanks for taking a second to check us out!

WonderBinge29 - That's Not What You WantIT'S BEEN A FULL YEAR! And we didn't even realize! WonderBinge Podcast is a full year old, and it's all thanks to you! We are so grateful to have the opportunity to share our voices and research with you all. Thank you for listening! The tallies are in! You, our listeners, voted on what this episode should be on: a surprise as usual, or the origin of America's emergency call number, 911. Survey says - 911! What prompted the US to finally create an emergency number? Why those specific numbers? Who made the first call? We've got all the...2021-04-1949 min

WonderBinge28 - The Loosey Goosey Foof GooseWell, what do you know? We're on a bit of a true crime streak! Maria decided to keep up the theme by sharing an unexpected story of murder - one that starts off as a beautiful tale about a footless goose empowering others with disabilities. Andy Fleming, the goose, had been born without feet, but his owner, Gene, took the time to craft him his own very special pair of sneakers. After that, the two toured around the country and even appeared on television to inspire others to push through hardships so to one day fly through clearer skies...2021-04-0541 min

WonderBinge27 - Who Gave Them The Right?Who is Miranda? An who gave them the right? Technically, the Constitution gave them the right, but at one point in history, not everyone was aware of their rights upon arrest. Nowadays, reciting the Miranda Warning to ourselves feels more like we're quoting a crime show then remembering that we have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney - since anything you say can and will totally be used against you. 2021-03-2246 min

WonderBinge26 - WaldoBingeWhat was meant to be a light-hearted and fun-fact-filled episode quickly turns into the weaving of a dark conspiracy theory. Today we are following the lore of a legend. A man known far and wide. A man sought after, forever in hiding, yet always destined to be found. A time traveler, sought after by children, and hunted by his enemies. This is the tale, the legend, the lore of Where’s Waldo.2021-03-0852 min

WonderBinge25 - The Red PenOn the morning of April 8th, 1994, the lifeless body of the famous lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, was found in Seattle, WA by an electician who was hired to install security lights. The police arrived on scene and immediately determined the cause of death: suicide. But is this case as cut and dry as police originally thought? There is evidence to suggest otherwise. Was it foul play? And was Kurt's wife, Courtney Love, somehow involved? This. Is all. Speculation.2021-02-221h 17

WonderBinge24 - Cherry Bees and MJ LeavesIt's a summer day in 2010, in Red Hook, Brooklyn, NY. The local beekeepers have noticed something odd happening to their bees - the nectar in their tummies, as well as the honey they produce, is a bright cherry red. In a mystery remincent of a Sherlock Holmes case, The Scarlet Bees lead to investigation, death, and false walls revealing deeper secrets than the bees could ever have fortold. 2021-02-0837 min

WonderBinge23 - Bring Me Chicken NuggetsI am telepathically transmitting a message to you... can you hear me? Or is my connection bad? The pseudoscience of telepathy is one that has left parapsychologists and the general public baffled, skeptical, but most of all, intrigued. Can we truly send messages to each other by just using our minds? Or do you have to have a close connection with a person in order to communicate without words? Perhaps the bond has to start from the very beginning of one's life - like the unbreakable bond of a twin. 2021-01-2548 min

WonderBinge22 - But I Am A Little StitiousTheatre is superstitious and weird, and there is no better way to write off a bad run than blaming the resident spirits. From Ghost Lights and the Scottish Play to Whistling and Breaking Legs, theatre is one of the most superstitious industries outside of sailing and for good reason. After all, every theatre’s got a ghost. Stick around to the end to hear special guest, Matt, recount just a few of the stories surrounding our high school theatre ghost, Steve, and remember: don’t move the paint cans.2021-01-111h 00

WonderBinge21 - The Tall "Est"DISCLAIMER: This episode contains decriptions of real human remains and the events of their deaths. Listener discretion is advised. Throughout time, humans have defined their worth by the “est’s” we’ve managed to collect. Explore the deepest part of the ocean; Fly the farthest into space; Grow the heaviest pumpkin; climb the highest mountain. While achieving the great est’s of the world is, well, great, these journeys do not come without warning or consequence. In the case of reaching the highest point on earth, warning signs litter the pathway to the peak. Temperatures that could cause frostbite in seconds; un...2020-12-2855 min

WonderBinge20 - Abandoned, Colorful, Still on FireIn the small abandoned town of Centralia PA, uncontrolled mine fires have been raging beneath the surface for over 50 years causing its residents to flee. Smoke and gas escape from cracks exploding in the earth. This post-apocalyptic scene created a haven for curious adventurers and aspiring artists. A nearly one mile long desserted stretch of highway, Rt. 61, became a canvas for these adventurers and artists, Gen and Maria among them, and soon came to be known as 'Graffiti Highway.' Join us as we tell you the town's story and take a trip down memory lane. Share your own memories o...2020-12-1441 min

WonderBinge19 - Knallhart PilotinnenHistory check! What was the name of the female pilot organization in the USA during WWII? You've got it! WASP. Follow up question - which country during the war was the only one to allow women to fly combat missions? If you guessed Japan, you'd be wrong. Language Check! What is the German word for, "bad ass female pilots?" Give this episode a listen to find out!2020-11-3051 min

WonderBinge18 - The Ol’ Switcheroo TheoryThe RMS Titanic - luxury cruise ship and largest vessel of its time tragically sinks to the bottom of the icy Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912. Tragedy breeds mourning, mourning breeds desperation, and desperation breeds questions. It’s sometimes difficult to believe that terrible accidents can happen without reason. So to answer that looming and unknowable "why," people begin to theorize. What if we told you that it may be possible that the Titanic that sank was not the RMS Titanic at all? Even worse; what if we told you that it may have been sunk on purpose?2020-11-1635 min

WonderBinge17 - The Waluigi BoardCouldn't fit enough spookiness into one month? Don't worry, we've contacted some spirit buddies of ours and they gave us the green to keep up with the spook! The spirits wanted us to give you guys their number by talking about the infamous Ouija Board - what it is, who made it, how it works, and which demons to avoid AT ALL COSTS. They also wanted you to know that no, they don't know the color of your underwear and no, they don't know when you're going to die, so don't ask.2020-11-0258 min

WonderBinge16 - Death the DocumentaryThe Grim Reaper, Thanatos, psychopomps galore - allow us be your escort into the deep dark world of the personification of Death. The following episode contains mentions of inevitability, darkness, the end. The one thing throughout all of human history that has inspired fear, unsettled the minds of every living being, and loomed perpetually in back of our skulls. All consuming. Inescapable truth. Momento mori. Remember, you will die.2020-10-1948 min

WonderBinge15 - An Ooky FamilySo you think you know one of the most well-known macabre families in American cinema? Well, lets just test your knowledge, shall we? The famous (infamous?) Addams Family may seem gray, but we've got some colorful facts to share about them. Happy Spooky Time!

WonderBinge14 - Eyeballs, Wings, and the Hubris of ManWe've got a triple wammy coming to your ears! First and foremost: Angels are terrifying - and not just because they're powerful celestial beings. Let's just say they're always watching... Secondly: If humans had wings, what would they look like? Would we be buff feathery monstrosities, or would we look more like vampires? Thirdly: Flying for the first time over water + anxiety over the possibility of dying = actually dying.

WonderBinge13 - Demon SkidooThis week we take on our very first listener request! "How do different cultures view and exorcise demons?" There's no one way to be a demon, nor is there one way to handle them. Some are hideous and monstrous while others are beautiful and tempting. Some need to be persuaded away while others need to be forced the hell out. But the most important thing to know - the overarching question - how do you tackle your demons?2020-09-0758 min

WonderBinge10 - Chivalry is CentaursAhhh chivalry: The art of swordplay atop a horse; the asserting of dominance by brutalizing civilians for their money; the total disregard for all that which is godly - what a lovely thing it is.

WonderBinge8 - Lightning, Tigers and Planes, Oh My!Most people are familiar with the on-screen drama of famous movies such as The Exorcist and The Wizard of Oz, but lurking behind the camera are real life twists and turns that have us wondering if we should stay and order that third bucket of popcorn... or run for our lives. If we've learned anything from this episode, it's this; don't use real human remains for a fake movie, quadruple check the safety features for dangerous stunts, and that big cats are terrifying. 2020-06-2948 min

WonderBinge6 - Connoting Mountain AusteritiesThis Week's Fad Diet - seeds, tree resin, and pine needles - and NO CHEAT DAYS! Unless you want your mumification process to take more than ten years. This crazy strict diet used to be all the rage with Buddhist monks practicing Sokushinbutsu, but the goal wasn't a five step weight loss program. Oh no, this process was meant to shrink your organs to raisins and preserve your living corpse. Better still - No Artificial Preservatives!

Instead, we're talking about colors, rocks and crystals. But there's rocks in Star Wars, right? There's a fun little crystal in light sabers that can be different colors, planets are rocks, the band playing in the Cantina rocks - anyway, Han shot first. 2020-05-0444 min
