Is the story from the movie true? Why is this particular shark so scary? Why are we still talking about this movie almost 50 years after its release? Ira has answers to those questions and sooo much more. It’s Shark Summer all summer long on Unspookable!
What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the word shark? Is it a sea predator with rows and rows of sharp teeth? Maybe it’s a simple alternating E and F or F and F sharp played on a solo tuba? Or maybe it’s a misunderstood fish whose representation in film has given them a bad name. Love them or fear them, we cannot wait to talk about one of our favorite creatures on not one, but two episodes this month. It’s Shark Summer all summer long on Unspookable!
Have you ever heard the name Baba Yaga? If so, what images come to mind? If you grew up with Slavic folklore, maybe you’ve heard tales of a child eating witch. Or perhaps you’ve heard stories of a kind-hearted sorceress. Good, bad, or indifferent, how can one figure symbolize so many seemingly opposing things? We’ll try to answer those questions and more on this episode of Unspookable.
When it comes to unsolved mysteries, almost none are bigger or more widely debated than the disappearance of aviation innovator Amelia Earhart. What happened on that fateful journey? What became of Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan? And why do we struggle as humans so much with not having an answer? We’ll try to answer those questions and more on this episode of Unspookable.
What do you know of the legendary spirits, creatures, and figures of Japanese folklore? And how have these figures found their way into every corner of our popular culture? Unspookable producer Nate DuFort sits down this week with Thersa Matsuura to find out more while discussing her latest, The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yokai of Japanese Myth. That and more on this episode of Unspookable.
A lot of us have heard the word Illuminati, but what does it mean? Is there really a secret group of people controlling society from the shadows? There are conspiracy theories in the world today about these very questions and so much more, but where do these ideas come from? And why do people keep spreading them? Finding and agreeing on the truth can be hard sometimes and we’ll talk about that and more on this episode of Unspookable.

Last fall it felt like every other email, review, or topic recommendation we received mentioned a YouTube series that had captured the imaginations of our listeners and literally BILLIONS of young people around the world. If you haven’t heard about these giant, singing, war mongering toilets with human heads, you’re in for a huge surprise. We’re talking Skibidi Toilets on this episode of Unspookable.
We get a lot of amazing suggestions from our listeners of topics to cover on the show, but there’s one topic that topples the competition: Video Games. Whether it’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, Doors, Hello Neighbor, Garten of Banban, or Poppy Playtime, there are tons of first person horror games that you want us to cover. Elise talks to gaming writer Melissa Sarnowski about one of your favorites and the horror genre’s enduring appeal for middle graders on this episode of Unspookable.
