Superduperstitious

It’s the Randonautica episode! Who CARES if the hosts aren’t in the same physical location as one another? Using the random coordinates suggested by the cryptic app, Wyatt and Jake tried their best to find stories tangentially related to what they found. All right, “best” is a strong word. But they certainly tried! Or, well… there are some stories, anyway? From the nosleep subreddit to famous cook...

August Around the World concludes with an excursion into Scandinavia, and this time, WE’VE GOT COMPANY. Specifically, that company is DEREK SWORD of the podcast Monster Crush! Jake, Derek, and Wyatt bring bullshit, history, and science, respectively, as they tackle all manner of Scandinavian spookums, including ghost kinks, un-animals, and surprise steamed hams. If you scatter some phantom rose pe...

In this installment of August Around the World, things are getting every bit as spooky and mythology-y (?) as they are Latin American! An extra-interrupty Jake infects Wyatt’s mind with cetacean madness while the latter tries to tell the tale of a shape-shifting monstrosity known for terrorizing dark corners of northern Mexico since pre-Columbian times. Said to be what happens when black magic pra...

August Around the World continues, this time in the bigger of the oceans! You know the one. Jake begins with cool rocks, just like you always hoped he would. Why? Because they’re what make up Nan Madol, a series of tiny, real nifty artificial islands in Micronesia built around a millennium ago! How exactly were they constructed, and why? IT’S A MYSTERY. And will white people ever give other cultur...

This is our one hundred and eleventh episode. We are eleventy-one today! What better way to celebrate than to kick off AUGUST AROUND THE WORLD! The first stop on this month-long journey is the Middle East, or rather, the Greater Middle East, beginning with an upright hairy hominid tale from Mr. Shell. Did somebody say, “On brand”? Or perhaps they said “Barmanu”? Either way, this trip across Afghan...

Space. The eventual thing we sometimes get around to. These are stories from the podcast Superduperstitious. Their infinite-year mission: to give up on this bit halfway through the paragraph. Just listen to the thing. After a frankly embarrassing 54 episodes (the span, not the episodes), the boys are finally talking about outer space again! Specifically, stuff being built out there. Jake leads the...

(Not to be confused with any other podcast’s IP.) Many thanks to Shawhan, [REDACTED], Casey, and Michelle for submitting these super cool stories! See? We do EVENTUALLY read the stuff people send us!

We might all still be stuck inside for a while, but there’s plenty of traveling in this week’s ep! A solid 78 episodes after their first foray into far flung frights, the boys are once again exploring mysterious locations. Jake’s up first, with a notorious lost American town that is… not really a big deal? It seems like? Find out what exactly happened to Dudleytown, CT and how cursed it wasn’t. Wy...

Sometimes, pseudoscience and conspiracy theories are just some goofy, harmless fun. This is not one of those times. Today’s episode is all about giving due diligence to some big names in fringe medical “science” whose dangerous misinformation has caused lasting harm. Meet Andrew Wakefield, the British former doctor who is the sole reason anyone has ever believed in a link between vaccines and auti...

You are simply NOT ready for this one, friends! Emma and Dan, hosts of Real Life Ghost Stories, join the show to talk about ghost stories! Real life ones! From creepy household occurrences to Black Mirror knockoffs, they’re bringing the goods. And that, of course, can only mean that Jake and Wyatt are bringing the bads. Listen along and see how much the group can withstand before completely losing...

Remember that time in Episode 62 when Wyatt and Jake picked three random creatures apiece to take turns talking about? Yeah, neither do they. So it’s weird artifacts time instead, and not as many of them! This week, Wyatt’s got a mysterious manuscript and a forgotten language, while Jake describes a weird hammer and struggles to pronounce Aztec names. Presenting the Codex Gigas , the coolest giant...

Listen, we’ve been over this before, but it bears repeating: not EVERY episode has to have a theme. Unless of course that theme is random crap! Jake tackles underground spookums, while Wyatt gets a bit more metaphysical on this week’s ep. We’re talking ghosts, we’re talking ghouls, we’re talking rats in Massachusetts making rats in Australia smarter for some reason. A delightful mix of ghost stori...

It’s the second half of this special look at superstitions! What actually IS the deal with our weird ol’ brains, and how do they make so many of us believe the darnedest things? Worries over numbers (hotel-wise and otherwise), pigeon OCD — it’s all part of being alive! Stories of the strange? Yeah, you’ll be hearing the science behind 'em. And questions? Oh you KNOW they’re gettin’ answered! All o...

It’s Special Report time, mofos! And also long past time that the podcast looked into its namesake. That’s right: this latest two-parter is all about superstitions! And you’d be amazed how hard it is now to type that word normally, without the “duper”. In Part I, Jake covers good luck, Wyatt covers the bad, and they both hit the ugly. On the good luck side, it’s all about salt and how it can ward...

It’s a new beginning for this here podcast, which we assume means literally doing everything over again from the beginning. In this episode, Wyatt and Jake talk about their favorite cryptids, which they DEFINITELY HAVEN’T already talked about before and SURELY not in the first episode of this show. Rest assured: you’re guaranteed to learn new stuff this time around, like the fact that everything i...

Wait, are we still doing this? Wasn’t last week’s the big finale?? Oh jeez, didn’t really prepare anything for this, uhhh… Join Jake and Wyatt as they look over their first hundred episodes — and the life choices that brought them here — with a small selection of topics to revisit from the first few years of the show’s run! And stick around for the next hundred eps. They’ll probably be good, too!...

That’s it! We did it! This is the last episode of Superduperstitious! That is double digits! You heard right: it’s the 99th episode! And what better way to celebrate this milestone than with an episode topic befitting the episode number? ’99 was a big year for a big movie that changed all of our lives forever, probably. So this episode is obviously full of clothing history and stuff like that. Lea...

We humans sure do make a lotta STUFF, and we like scary stories, so naturally there are plenty of scary stories ABOUT stuff. That’s right, it’s antiquing time on this episode of Superduperstitious! For starters, Jake has the tale of a weird wooden idol found in the Catskill Mountains that seems to be attached to some kind of evil entity. Is The Crone really up to no good and all the time conjuring...

It’s adventure time once again on Superduperstitious, but that doesn’t mean that those adventures have to have any firm grounding in REALITY. After a quick UK check-in with some genuine archaeological coolness, Wyatt heads to Arizona's Superstition Mountains to examine the Legend of the Lost Dutchman. Sure, all evidence of this particular goldmine is 1000% apocryphal, but why would that stop multi...

Mountains: you can be on them, near them, and maybe even under them if things aren’t going great for you. Here’s an ep about that! Jake’s up first, with both a PSA about not believing every viral video you see AND a story about ghostly experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Is The Presence of Mount Washington real, or are people just freaking themselves out on a windy peak? Nail down...

Listener stories are always welcome at Superduperstitious, but not without raising the immortal question: are these stories GOOD ? Listener Nick Smith kindly provides a pair of personal accounts of the spooky, so Wyatt and Jake kindly provide feedback on their quality, since that’s what Nick was surely wanting. And they of course achieve this by comparing to some top notch stories from the Website...

The Boiz are back, just as you’ve always known them and going by that one name you’ve always called them! Thanks to a listener suggestion, this week is one full of not-quite-vampires, and their amazing similarities across cultures! After a positively thrilling update from the show’s official Field Correspondent, Jake starts with the Aswang, one of several billion terrifying mythological creatures...

It’s a brand new year! And what better way for Superduperstitious to start that year than by biting off more than it (or at least Jake) can chew? That’s right, the boys have lost their entire minds and brought you a full FORTY stories throughout one ludicrously jam-packed TWO-HOUR episode, all in overzealous service to a convoluted “2020” theme. You want ghosts? Crawlers? Sasquatches? Gnomes?! The...

What was meant to be a Boxing Day episode is now a day later, but you know what? It’s still all winter stories, friend! After another installment in the endless tide of Chicago bat goofness, Jake finally yields some ape ground with a few yeti accounts. He may be pretty damned skeptical of it all, but perhaps there is SOME plausibility in them thar hills. However, a bunch of big fish stories from a...
