As the 2025 Kickstarter draws to a close (there's still time to back!) we're looking ahead at one of the major projects we have coming this year - Dawn of The Dogman. But not that, because it's not out yet! Instead Mark, Heather and Seth are talking about the some of the other Monsters of Michigan. Back the 2025 Kickstarter Campaign email Monsteropolis@smalltownmonsters.com BONUS: - Aaron's Unedited Producer Notes: Monsteropolis Monsters of Michigan WELCOME BACK KICKSTARTER is still running. Last episode before the campaign ends. To keep the excitement going we're talking about one of our upcoming projects - DAWN OF THE DOGMAN, but not THAT, because that's what the movie is, and you can't see it yet. Instead we're looking at the OTHER Monsters of Michigan. At least a few of them. There might be more. Wendigo – cannibalistic humanoid monster. Strong association with winter and extreme cold. Comes from native legends. Has gained a lot of popularity in the modern era, frequently placed alongside other cryptids, but very much its own Native legend. Comes from the Algonquin language/dialect spoken by tribes like Ojibwe, Kree and Saulteaux. You can kill a Wendigo by putting hot tallow down its throat, which melts its icy heart and kills it. Otherwise they're pretty much invincible. At least in some legends. Like a lot of native lore/older legends, as the Wendigo has become more popular it's been adapted as a storytelling motif. A lot of horror/narrative podcasts use it as the “monster of the week,” the video game Until Dawn features the Wendigo as it's primary antagonist (the special edition or secret ending bonus or whatever for that game has Chad Lewis in it talking about the Wendigo) Loup Garou - You'll have to wait for Dawn of The Dogman. Dogman and Loup Garou aren't exactly the same thing (Rougarou also) and if we wanted to we could get in the weeds and pinpoint differences between what we consider the modern “Dogman” phenomenon and the Loup Garoux vis a vis the term's roots in France but nah, we savin' that. Sasquatch - The BFRO lists 225 sightings for Michigan, and those are just the ones that made the cut. I don't really know what else to say about this. Michigan is big and cold and there's woods, so like, Bigfoot can hide there. Hey, here's a cool Class A report from the BFRO! Spring of 1999, near Copemish/Thompsonville “I was walking in the woods down a two track by Thompsonville in the early spring morning. On these early morning walks I often scare up deer and occationally a bear so when I heard the noises of something running in the woods I expected to see some such animal. Instead I saw what looked to me like a large man dressed in white running at an incredible speed. He was about 50 yards away and I tracked him for some distance. I was amazed at how he ran so fast through the dense undergrowth. He had to have long legs to be able to traverse the fallen trees and swampy areas. The next day I was walking in that same area and discovered tracks that confirmed to me it was not a man I had seen. They were quite large - about 18 inches or so. I could only see three toe prints thought there may have been more that didnt inprint and what may have been claws or long toenails that left a mark. The distance between them was about three of my strides long.” Pressie - five bucks you already know what this is. That's right baby, a WATER MONSTER, ERRBODY got a water monster these days. ERRBODY also be stealing Nessie's alliteration. What happened to originality. Just kidding, no really though I don't like this trend, kind of glad it's died off, anyway PRESSIE is, Supposed to be whale tailed and horse headed and have whiskers. Sort of sounds like a big manatee. It hangs out in Lake Superior. Lots of water there, plenty of places to hide. Very good monster place. Is Pressie a manatee? Must investigate. Probably not. It's supposed to be 75 feet long. First spotted in 1894! Wow. From there it jumps to 1977 with a few sightings in between, and conjecture over rumors of sightings in “the 1990s” Named for Presque Isle River where it has frequently been seen. Nain Rouge - bon nuit, The Red Dwarf AKA Red Man AKA Little Red Man. I did a House of Monsters on this guy. He's a favorite. Said to be a harbinger of bad luck and ill fortune Shows up before something bad happens Ya'll know Detroit be real french? City was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in the 1700s. ONE DAY this guy is on a stroll with his wife, when suddenly a TINY RED MAN jumps out of the bushes. Antoine yelled at the tiny man and hit him with his cane, after which he was CURSED. He eventually lost his fortune and died in poverty. The Nain has been blamed for a number of tragedies over the years, though whether he's supposed to be causing them or is just showing up to give people a warning seems to be a matter of interpretation. 1763 - The Battle of Bloody Run - 60 british soldiers are massacred by Native inhabitants (OH BUT OF COURSE this had nothing to do with the European settlers encroaching upon land and devastating their populations, sure, totally unprovoked, blame the nain, sorry feeling fighty today, been binging Cobra Kai) The great fire of 1805 - Massive city wide fire, destroyed nearly the entire thing. Massive loss of life and property. In the wake of the fire the city's flag was changed to include the phrase “Speramus meliora; resurget cineribus,” which means “We hope for better things; it will arise from the ashes.” Man I get chills every time, that's inspiring. 1967 - The 12th Street Riot - one of the deadliest examples of civil unrest in the United States at that time. Precipitated by a number of onerous conditions, such as racial segregation and over-policing, the riot would result in 43 deaths, nearly 1200 injuries and over 700 arrests. It went on for five days. 1976 - a huge blizzard knocked out and crippled much of the city's infrastructure And other tragic events throughout the years. The city would eventually embrace the Nain as a local symbol, holding an annual parade where they chase the Nain out of the city to usher out the bad luck. Fun fact, there's an OLDER story about Napoleon taking advice from a Little Red Man who advised him on battle tactics. He only lost when he didn't listen. He's supposed to have met the guy in an ancient egyptian tomb before declaring himself Emperor of France. PRODUCER'S NOTE - I'm very much of the opinion that the Nain Rouge is a direct folkloric descendent of Napoleon's little red man, not literally but like, there's clearly a lineage there. Giant Green Squirrel of Amble: “It is literally just a very large, green squirrel.” - Reddit Okay so. I guess this is a squirrel the size of a cow or a small car. It makes a lot of loud chirping and squeaking noises, and it's also green There, uh... There doesn't seem to be a lot more to this. Or anything else. I like it though, let's make a movie about it. https://99wfmk.com/monster-squirrel-amble/ Okay also though, there are apparently giant squirrel legends present in some native cultures in Nova Scotia (The Micmac Tribe) - some researchers believe these were derived from stories about giant ground sloths, which were (are?) a thing. So there is some background to this one. No idea if theres a direct link to the Michigan one. There are OTHER weird Michigan monsters, but because the movie doesn't come out for a bit we're gonna save ‘em. Thank you for listening, and be sure to go back the Kickstarter RIGHT NAAAOOO - Link in the show notes. There are only four days left (counting today at time of air), and then a brief window for late backing with much higher rates due to kickstarter specific policies beyond our control.

The holidays can be a time of joy, but for many of us, they can also bring overwhelming stress and burnout. In this video, I'm going to talk about what burnout really is, why it's so common during the holidays, and how we can take intentional steps to avoid it. I'll be sharing five personal strategies from my own life and clinical practice that help me stay grounded and calm during this busy time of year. These five strategies are: - Check in regularly - Tend the Living Things First - Safeguard Your Rituals - Herbal Allies - Neaten Your Nest As we dive into these, I'll also discuss how I use herbs like American Ginseng and medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi to keep my nervous system balanced during times of stress. I'll share how these powerful plants support me when things feel out of control and help me regain my calm. One of the highlights of this video will be a guided exercise where I'll lead you through a simple practice to connect with and recalibrate your nervous system. It's amazing how our bodies have the ability to balance themselves once we tune in and notice when we're out of sync. Lastly, I'll give you a sneak peek into my Year One Herbal Foundations course, where we explore and work with plants in a deeper, more intentional way.

In this episode, I explore the concept of animism—what it means historically and how it can be applied in today's world. Animism is the belief that nature is alive and infused with spirit, a perspective that can help us connect deeply with both our animal and human selves. By shifting our view of the world, we can honor our sensory, emotional, and just natures, living more harmoniously on this dynamic, living planet. Together, we'll delve into the foundational principles of shamanism, reflecting on what it means to see ourselves as part human and part animal. We'll also confront darkness—an integral, yet often misunderstood, aspect of the animistic worldview. I'll share insights into what darkness can teach us, its potential dangers, and how we can protect ourselves from its perils. Using tools like prayer, ritual, and herbs, we'll discuss ways to bring light into the dark spaces of life. I'll highlight three powerful solar herbs—Rosemary, Angelica, and Calendula—sharing their historical significance and my modern approaches to using them. Known for their warming, diffusive, and protective qualities, these herbs have long been associated with the sun's energy and are invaluable allies for navigating the unknown. Join me as we light our lanterns and journey together into the wisdom of the dark. ———— *KICKSTARTER*
In today's episode, I'm diving into the beautiful and versatile medicine of Rose.

I'll also walk you through making a vibrant rose vinegar that can elevate salads, soups, or even be turned into a sweet oxymel for spreading on toast. Along the way, I'll discuss some of Rose's key chemical constituents and how I incorporate this beloved flower into my practice and daily life. Join me to discover the magic of Rose! ———— *KICKSTARTER*

In this episode, I'll reveal three of the best kept secrets of herbal medicine, drawing from over 20 years of studying and working with plant-based healing. This is part one of a special series where I'll take you deeper into the transformative power of herbalism—beyond simply treating symptoms. The first secret is how herbs connect you to your biological ancestors and the land you live on. The second explores how herbalism, while low-cost, is high in value, creating more meaningful experiences and inspiring self-awareness. The third secret is that herbs naturally beautify your life, infusing your space and daily routines with nature's healing magic. I'll also share personal stories of how plants have shifted my perspective and how I care for myself as an herbalist including my step -by-step strategy for working with cold and virus symptoms. Let's uncover the deeper wisdom of herbal medicine together! ———— *KICKSTARTER*

In this video, I dive into the fascinating connection between imagination and healing. Did you know that fantasy and visioning play a key role in our physical and mental health? I'll share personal stories and insights from years of working with clients, illustrating how imagination can help us overcome challenges and achieve our goals. We'll also explore the ancient concept of the four humors, focusing on "melancholia." The Greeks viewed melancholy not just as sadness but as a profound wellspring for creativity and healing—a space where inspiration often strikes after periods of solitude. To support this creative and healing process, I'll introduce two incredible herbal allies: Rosemary and Burdock. Learn how these plants can nurture your imagination and help transform moments of melancholy into sparks of vision and renewal. Join me for this inspiring journey into the power of your mind and the wisdom of plants! ———— MY ONLINE COURSES

She was one of the key figures of Irish Independence, known in her lifetime as The Irish Joan of Arc. But somehow, history only remembers her as the woman who wouldn't marry WB Yeats. More recently, a BBC headline called her "Ireland's heroine who had sex in her baby's tomb." Both those things are true, but... her real story is even more bonkers - and of course, so much more amazing. Join us with guest Orna Ross to put Maud Gonne back in her rightful place, among the founders of modern Ireland. Join the Kickstarter Campaign for a special edition of A Life Before benefitting the movement to memorialize Maud Gonne in Dublin! Music in this episode was generously shared by Andy Reiner and Jon Sousa from their album Canyon Sunrise.

Jace is joined by actor, writer and self-described nerd boy, Todd Stashwick to talk about his Kickstarter Campaign for Progcore Fantasy: The Dark Age of Theer. This is an EPIC crowdfunding effort filled to overflowing with multiple layers of fantasy greatness designed to immerse its community in the joy of storytelling. Starting with a foundation of a Table Top Role Playing Game, the campaign will offer tips and advice on how to inject any TTRPG or RPG Campaign with a Progcore Fantasy feel. If you are wondering what ProgCore is, Todd does an excellent job of breaking it all down in the episode, but let's just say it is a way to both get back to the roots of TTRPG while also trying to ensure that anyone and everyone have a seat at that table. If that sounds ambitious, it is ... but you haven't heard anything yet! In addition to establishing the philosphy of ProgCore Fantasty, Todd and his creative collaborators have built the world of Theer. Currently in a Dark Age, the world of Theer will offer a rich new setting for this style of gameplay. Building on the immersive feel with music, an animated short and incredible art, you don't have to be a gamer to dive deep in the fantastic world of Theer. Join us to learn all about the campaign, Todd's creative collaborators and the importance of story for us all.
