It finally happened, we've hit 100 episodes. In commemoration of this momentous event, we've finally decided to tackle the origin of everyone's (John excluded) favorite cryptid. John hasn't been sleeping enough again, so buckle up for some mispronunciations that make zero sense while he nails names like Kwakwaka’wakw. Be sure to stay for after the plugs, because probably the best three minutes of...

**CLARIFICATION** Around 8:40, John mentions the BLM protests in response to George Floyd's death in 2020.  John wants to clarify that he meant George Floyd's death was the problematic and terrible thing, not the protests themselves (which Cryptopedia supported then and now). **CLARIFICATION**  It's finally here. That's right, the lost episode of Cryptopedia is finally getting released. We're cove...

If this episode attempt didn't record properly John was going to delete the podcast from the internet. Luckily it did so Cryptopedia continues on. Anyways, John gets mad at a Creationist and Brandon shares his curses.   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=14015340 --- Mokele-mbembe - Wikipedia Misreading the Mokele-Mbembe (the Mokele-Mbembe, Part 1)...

It's been 76 episodes since John has done a living dinosaur episode, so strap in because he doesn't even make it past the 1930s on this one before he starts to meltdown.

This week Brandon utters a unique phrase. Please note we say unique, not good for your mental health. Also, John talks about Bigfoot again.   Also, John meant normative sexual desire in the cold open, not "regular". Sexuality is a spectrum, and asexuality is a valid expression of one's sexuality.   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast We now have episode transcripts available! https://crypt...

Thank Bigfoot 2021 is here! Everything is suddenly better, right? This week John throws himself into cryptids to ignore reality for a bit, while Brandon has a pitch for a show that is legally dubious to say the least.   Also Extreme Restraints our DMs are open. ;)   Discord: https://discord.me/cryptopediacast We now have episode transcripts available! https://cryptopediacast.wordpress.com/ --- Sou...

Hoo boy do we earn the mature tag this week in the cold open. That being said merry cryptidsmas and we do talk vampire disposal this week.
