Episode 102 – Superstitions Part I: Superstitiousness

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 off evil! But not meta-demons, whatever the goddamned hell those are. Good times! Also: lucky snack bags in Taiwan.

On the bad luck side, CURSES. Mummy ones, puberty ones, and all the signs to determine if an evil wizard has given you one. Sorry, not a wizard, a practicer of black majique. Is there any reason NOT to assume that every small inconvenience in your life is connected? We may never truly know.

It’s time to start exploring the beliefs we all believe and why we believe them, in Part I of this Superduperstitious Special Report!
