    On this episode of Cryptid Zone we discuss Melon Heads, which are creatures from North American folklore. They're wrapped up in a lot of gross ableism, so we spend most of the episode avoiding talking about them in favour of improvising a blues song and talking about cats. Also, Lois formally debuts the regular feature "Lois Overexplains Bad Films About Cryptids" (we're workshopping the title). Regular features: Lois Overexplains Bad Films About Cryptids

    You ever wonder, what if snakes were mischievous and had legs? It just sounds like a sassy lizard to me but to some people it's the Tsuchinoko, a creature from Japanese folklore. This podcast is brought to you by Jeremy Hewes (@knifewitch) and Lois Stone (@supitslois), who is mega freaked out by snakes which made this episode extremely fun to record. Regular Features: I didn't make a list while I was editing and I don't want to spending my Thanksgiving holiday doing that but it definitely ends with Would You Date.
