Podcasts about critters

As the summer months approach, many of us are spending more time outdoors, but are we inadvertently inviting unwanted critters into our homes? This interview delves into the world of wildlife control, specifically bats, and the importance of knowing how to identify and handle these flying mammals. Our guest, Ron Krueger from A Plus Wildlife Control, shares his expertise on the common mistakes homeowners make when dealing with bats, and how to prevent them from taking up residence in our homes. Bats are often misunderstood creatures, and while they're not typically aggressive, they can carry rabies and transmit it to humans. Ron explains that bats can fit through incredibly small openings, as small as a third of an inch, and can colonize in attics and living quarters. He shares a checklist for homeowners to identify if they have bats, including watching for animals exiting the house at sunset or early morning, inspecting for droppings, and looking for signs of bat bugs. Ron also discusses the importance of not trying to handle bats yourself, as this can lead to bites and potential rabies transmission. He shares a personal story about a homeowner who thought a bat was a toy and ended up getting bitten. He emphasizes the need for professional exclusion work, which involves sealing all gaps in the house and installing a one-way valve to allow bats to leave but not re-enter. If you're concerned about bats in your home, tune in to this episode to learn more about how to identify and handle these creatures. Ron shares his expertise on the common mistakes homeowners make and how to prevent bats and more from taking up residence in our homes.

Edgar siempre estuvo rodeado de historias paranormales, pero cuando creció y quiso tener su propio negocio experimentó unos de los momentos más aterradores de su vida: sombras, ruidos, voces, extrañas criaturas. Esta es su historia. Y en las noticias paranormales: En México una empleada estaba en el baño de su local y de repente la secadora de manos se activó sola. La mujer 'retó' a la presencia y no imaginarás lo que sucedió. En Ciudad Juárez han circulado testimonios de testigos que aseguran haber visto una figura alta, oscura, alada y de ojos brillantes.

Get ready, fright fans, because 1986 was loud, slimy, radioactive, and absolutely out of its damn mind! In this blood-soaked battle royale, we're throwing the horror heavyweights of 1986 into the ring to see which film claws its way to the top. Can THE FLY mutate its way into the winner's circle with pure tragic body horror perfection, or does THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2 chainsaw through the competition with neon-soaked insanity? Will FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 6: JASON LIVES prove Jason had finally become the ultimate horror icon, or do the alien terrors of CRITTERS and the undead chaos of NIGHT OF THE CREEPS steal the crown? Meanwhile, FROM BEYOND melts minds and bodies alike, TRICK OR TREAT cranks the volume straight to hell, POLTERGEIST II brings supernatural nightmare fuel, and APRIL FOOL'S DAY reminds us that sometimes the joke is on us. Join us as we slice through the gore, the goo, the creatures, and the carnage to determine which film stands tall as the ultimate horror champion of 1986! Let's get Spooky!

This episode of The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip pulls into Colorado, the highest state in the union, for a deep look at one of the strangest contrasts in American cryptid lore. We open with the Slide-Rock Bolter, an absurd creature from the lumber camp folklore of the early nineteen-hundreds, first documented by Minnesota state forester William T. Cox in his nineteen ten book Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods. We trace the Bolter back to its origins in the Fearsome Critters tradition, the body of tall tales that working men in American logging camps invented to entertain themselves, haze new arrivals, and put a face on the genuine dangers of life in the timber.From there, we walk through the broader folklore of the Colorado high country, including the Cornish Tommyknockers brought to the silver camps by immigrant miners in the late eighteen-hundreds, and the older Indigenous traditions of giant or hairy beings in the mountains that predate any of the European arrivals. The second half of the episode shifts from folklore into testimony, exploring the long record of wild man and Sasquatch encounter reports that have come out of the Colorado backcountry from the late eighteen-hundreds to the present day.We cover historical newspaper accounts from the central Rockies, the San Juans, Pikes Peak country, the Wet Mountains, and the Sangre de Cristos, and we move into the modern record with a series of encounter stories drawn from the broader Colorado field, including reports from the Weminuche Wilderness, the Flat Tops, the country around Mount Sopris, the Pagosa Springs area, the mining ghost towns of the San Juans, and the high passes above the San Luis Valley. The episode examines the recurring patterns that show up in the Colorado record, including elevation clusters, water corridors, the strange quality of silence that witnesses describe right before and after an encounter, the consistent pattern of avoidance behavior in the creatures themselves, and the credibility profile of the witnesses, who are overwhelmingly hunters, backpackers, rangers, ranchers, and other people with deep experience in the country they were standing in when the encounter occurred.Along the way we discuss the cultural function of folklore in dangerous places, the ways that men in mining and lumber camps used invented monsters to talk about real risks like rockslides and cave-ins, and the long, often unspoken thread of testimony from people who have walked off the Colorado high country carrying something they were never quite able to put down.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

If you talk to any fisherman in Maine about the impacts of warming waters, you're guaranteed to hear about biofouling at some point. To put it bluntly, biofouling mucks up gear. Critters and plants like kelp, sponges, mussels, sea squirts, and algae grow thick on lobster traps and oyster cages, making maintaining gear and harvesting catch more challenging. Every inch of gear that is covered by biofouling organisms is an inch of gear that wild harvesters and sea farmers have to routinely clean to keep gear functional.In this episode we'll meet sea farmers who are tackling the issue of biofouling in unique and practical ways. On Great Cranberry island: an oyster farmer has found a better way for her team to flip oyster cages, a process necessary to stave off biofouling, and she's even experimenting with introducing some predators onto the farm. And in southern Maine: a company that developed a plastic-free alternative to oyster bags is testing that product as a promising solution to biofouling on scallop lanterns nets. 

From the same team that brought you 4 seasons of The Legend of Vox Machina (with a 5th on the way!) comes another Dungeons & Dragons campaign that's a little darker, a little grittier, and a lot of fun: The Mighty Nein. If Vox Machina was Critical Role's first attempt at a more traditional, capital-Q-quest-style of campaign with plenty of Big Bad Evil Guys and grandiose battles, then Mighty Nein is a more mature, serious-toned show where the characters draw the focus and their backstories suggest that there's...a LOT of unpacking to do. We especially love Caleb's deep lore and "personal episode" in this season, and Michael and Iris (our resident Critters) are amazed at how the showrunners constructed the narrative of an animated series that differs fairly significantly from how events played out on YouTube. And don't forget to tune in to our *brand new* Iris-hosted bonus segment called the Conspiracy Corkboard at the end of this episode! Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel tackles Critters 3, the third entry in the cult creature-feature franchise — and yes, this is the one with a very young Leonardo DiCaprio.Trading the small-town setting for a rundown apartment building, Critters 3 goes full low-budget sequel mode with greedy landlords, weird tenants, and furry alien monsters causing total chaos.We dig into everything, including:

Forty years ago this month, a scrappy little creature feature crawled out of New Line Cinema and straight into cult status.This week, we're throwing it a proper 40th birthday party and no full plot recap, just the good stuff: the wild trivia you've forgotten (or never knew), the behind-the-scenes practical effects magic, how it held its own in one of the craziest movie years ever, and the gloriously unhinged ride the franchise took afterward.From the Chiodo Brothers building fuzzy alien puppets on a shoestring budget… to Corey Burton inventing the Krites' language on the spot… to Leonardo DiCaprio's very first movie role getting terrorized by the little furballs… we're digging into all the rad details that make Critters still feel alive in 2026.We also talk about why these practical-effect monsters hit different in the CGI era, that perfect pre-internet small-town 80s vibe, and how a tiny $2–3 million underdog carved out its own weird little corner in a summer packed with blockbusters.Whether you grew up renting this on VHS or you're discovering the Krites for the first time — this one's pure nostalgic chaos with a side of “wait till you hear this.”If you've ever loved a goofy, scrappy 80s creature feature and wondered why it still holds up…This one's for you.Stay curious.Stay weird.Be Forever Rad.CONNECT WITH US

This week, The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel sits down with veteran character actor Geoffrey Blake, whose career spans comedy classics, cult favorites, prestige TV, and one very famous early Leonardo DiCaprio sequel appearance in Critters 3.From scene-stealing supporting roles to unforgettable character work, Geoffrey has been part of some truly iconic projects — and he brought incredible stories, humor, and insight to this conversation.We get into everything, including:

We think of wildlife as separate from urban life. But there are a lot of wild critters living all around us in the city. Turkeys have made a remarkable comeback in the last few decades after being driven entirely out of Minnesota. Deer, squirrels, rats and racoons are regular visitors to many people's back yards. And, a relatively new research project is documenting how coyotes and foxes are vying for territory in city neighborhoods. MPR News host Angela Davis talks about the secret lives of wild animals in our midst and how they interact with each other and with us. Guests: Geoff Miller is a post-doctoral associate in the department of fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology at the University of Minnesota, where he works with the Twin Cities Coyote and Fox Project. His research focuses on how coyotes and foxes live in urban areas, and interact with each other and humans. Marlene Zuk is a professor in the department of ecology, evolution and behavior at the University of Minnesota. Her newest book is “Outsider Animals: How the Creatures at the Margins of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us.” Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

“Easter… but with killer furballs.” Do you remember Critters 2: The Main Course? One of the very few Easter horror movies… for good reason. The eggs hatch, the Critters are back, and somehow the town drunk is now a bounty hunter. We revisit this chaotic 80s sequel to see if it still holds up, or if it should've stayed buried in a box down in the basement.

This time, we discuss Nicholas Cage, Bill Maher, rage baiting, the Easter Bunny, Critters, and Christopher Reeve.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 657 Sam Drog returns for another of our on-going movie talk therapy sessions. And as we make recommendations that most people don't get, we also mention… Sinners, the X film series, Blue Moon, Is God Is, Honey Don't!, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Tura!, The Bride!, accumulating things, The Fabelmans, Predestination, leaving the house only when necessary, movies where nothing happens, different cinema formats, Critters 2 and/or 3, there are days… when I feel my anger might consume me, I'm kind of like Jeremiah Johnson now, people's deranged hard drive, artsy remakes of classic horror movies, Ti West, Coen brothers movies, a crazy religious cult, Ethan Hawke, being shot by gamma rays, living in an archaeological dig, The Cars That Ate Paris, having Elvis propose to you, and how many Michael B Jordan's are in this movie?! Spoiler Alert: So that spoiler that everybody has known about "Sinners" for the last year… yeah, we talk about that.  "I got my corkboard and ball of yarn…"

Shelley Palmer,media technologist, advisor, and author with over 700,000 daily newsletter subscribers, returns to the show. He's one of the sharpest thinkers writing about AI today, and this conversation covers the full arc: from social media liability to the trust collapse coming for all of us, and into the real productivity gains and surveillance trade-offs of living inside an AI-first workflow.The episode opens with the Google and Meta lawsuit verdict and quickly moves past the legal question. Shelley's position is precise: you can't legislate parenting, but you can legislate transparency, and the tech industry has failed on that front entirely. The $6 million judgment against Meta and Google is a rounding error — not a deterrent.
