Monster Lore Tour

Hello, fellow paranerdalists! We are taking a bit of a hiatus in order to bring you remastered versions of our episodes 3 & 4, which is MOZ's original Skinwalker Saga that started his investigation of the Global Shamanic Shapeshifting Complex. The original version of episode 3 was particularly rough, as we weren't super savvy with the production process, but we've come a long way, and this remaster will give all you listeners out there a much better experience than the original. Episode 4 will be out next week, and we will resume our typical new content after that. Thank you all for listening. Original show notes are below. Enjoy!
Part one of a three-episode deep dive into the world of the Native American Skinwalker. This episode explores the mischief and mayhem of one of the most notorious creatures stalking the western wastes. We explore the totem phenomenon and the commonalties of Skinwalker encounters before looking into a number of related creatures across the globe who share some of this hideous fiend’s traits.

Team MLT dives deep into the monstrous microcosm and faces-off with the microbes literally knocking on the blood-brain barrier. We then discuss how the macrocosm mirrors the chimeric hordes of “interspecies becomings” associated with the microcosm. You may never be the same after this one.
Endless thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @ Tim leavy for crafting us a most righteous theme song.

Tonight, MOZ deep dives the elusive, yet ever-present mind virus known as wetiko. This deep dive is essentially a review of Paul Levy’s work: Wetiko: healing the mind virus that plagues our world. This disturbing phenomenon must be recognized and countered or the survival of humanity itself may well hang in the balance.
Endless thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy from timleavy.com for composing us a most righteous theme song. Party on, Tim!
