Jess & Hids Make A Podcast

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jess talks to us about Floriography, or the language of flowers. Not the same language we talked about in last weeks episode with screaming daffodils though, this one is all about the meaning of flowers and how what flowers you send in a bouquet or singly can have very specific meanings! Hids takes a little dive into some psychological phenomena when they discuss the Th...

Send us Fan Mail We did something a little different with this episode and played a very ADHD version of 21 Questions with each other! We used a Teen Vogue list that you can find HERE , with additional questions from various other Teen Vogue articles linked at the bottom of that page. Feel free to send us a message with YOUR answers! Support the show Join our Discord!

Send us Fan Mail Y'all.... this one is hands down one of our favorites! Jess dives into a fantastic conspiracy theory that has Hids second guessing everything, and Hids talks about a cryptid that has very little information and may be a small conspiracy theory of its own! We hope you enjoy this episode, released to our Patrons on April 1st. Support the show Join our Discord!

Send us Fan Mail Hids kicks off this episode with a dive into the alleged life and death of Joan Wytte from Bodmin, Cornwall, UK. Then Jess talks about logomisia, or word aversion. Heads up, if certain words make you cringe, you might struggle a bit with this section, but it's still fascinating so we hope you keep listening! Support the show Join our Discord!

Send us Fan Mail Because life is crazy at the moment, we decided to postpone our next episode!

Send us Fan Mail #NotACryptid - We both learned new things this week as Jess takes us on a little trip to ancient China and the history of the Fu Dogs!

Soldiers are coming home from the war and being given wheat farms, but a new...

Send us Fan Mail We didn't plan to have another Raven Riff so soon, but here we are! Travel time and some extra work hours pushed back our recording sessions and we had this one in our pocket ready to go. We really had fun watching this one. It's a 1982 classic from Wes Craven. There's a lot of campy stuff, but it's a fun romp through the bayous of Texas and good and bad prosth...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, Jess takes us back to the mountains of Western North Carolina, a place that Hids knows and loves so well!

Hids shifts gears and talks about sports. Yeah, it's weird for us to talk about sports, but we are kind of obsessed with Kabaddi! It's an ancient game from India that is now played profess...

Send us Fan Mail Every so often, we're going to be dropping a movie 'review' of sorts instead of our typical podcast episode. This is where we riff on and discuss some wonderfully cheesy movie from the past, and then we'll give it a Raven Rating! This week we're talking about Treasure of the Four Crowns . This movie was filmed in 3D and oh buddy, they definitely did alllll...

We still feel sorry f...
