Podcasts about urban legends

Do you remember that one post-Scream, college-set slasher filled with TV pretty 20-somethings and a few horror legend cameos? No? Neither does one of its stars! That's right, we're studying up on 1998's URBAN LEGEND!! (A film that is neither particularly urban nor legendary… discuss) Our student advisor for this episode knows a whole lot about urban legends, creepypastas, and very scary stories, podcaster Jon Grilz (Small Town Horror and Creepy)!! Along the way, we explore the mid-‘90s lineage of slashers that lead up to Urban Legend's cash-in, open the book on some of the cast's more colorful backstories, revisit a pitch-perfect example of a “Have you considered my penis?!” boy, and dive into one of the worst cases of “the Tarentinos” we've ever seen!! All this, plus a decomposing Alan Funt, No Bueno Amigo shots, window blindness, “the f*cking who?” soundtrack bands, unbranded killers, bad dye jobs, hair volume, and a legendary edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!!

First, Ben and Celestia discuss the needle-spiking panic fallout, missing kids in Virginia, screw worms, radioactive shrimp and seeing double in Las Vegas. Then our main segment is secret signs and signals! Real or legendary, these signs and markers are throughout human history to tell "those in the know" what to expect (food, sex, danger). From secret codes sewn into quilts to help the Underground Railroad effort to rock cairns and inukshuks, there are many tales of people making an effort to show others a safe path. We also look at the ancient bro code known as Masonic symbols, which manly men have been putting on their erections for generations. And of course we must touch on the world of swinger symbols, where anything from pineapples to a toe ring might be sending signals -- or just giving people a laugh.

In Auszügen aus dem „Edinburgh Journal of Science” beschrieb Grant eine vielfältige Flora und Fauna sowie intelligente Fledermausmenschen auf dem Erdtrabanten. Diese Berichte elektrisierten Lesende weltweit so sehr, dass Missionare sogar darüber nachdachten, wie man den Fledermausmenschen das „Wort Gottes” bringen könne. Doch warum fanden wir 1969 eine kalte, tote Einöde vor? Was ist mit der Flora und Fauna geschehen? Und warum begannen mit diesen Artikeln die Überlegungen in Bezug auf Ethik in Presse und Journalismus? Wir haben uns den Fall genauer angesehen.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Chasing Relics: A Journey of Hope in Ruined Budapest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-08-23-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap alacsony sugarainak árnyai táncoltak a romos Budapest utcáin.En: The shadows of the low rays of the sun danced on the ruined streets of Budapest.Hu: Az egykor pezsgő város most csendes volt, csupán a szél susogása és néhány madár dalolása törte meg a némaságot.En: The once bustling city was now silent, broken only by the whisper of the wind and the songs of a few birds.Hu: Az omladozó épületek és az elvadult növényzet között Ágnes, Bálint és Zoltán haladt előre lassan.En: Among the crumbling buildings and wild vegetation, Ágnes, Bálint, and Zoltán moved forward slowly.Hu: Ágnes szíve hevesen vert, de nem a félelemtől.En: Ágnes's heart was pounding, but not from fear.Hu: A remény tartotta mozgásban.En: Hope kept her moving.Hu: A legenda egy ősi ereklyéről szólt, amely visszahozhatja a reményt, békét és újjáépítheti a közösségüket.En: The legend spoke of an ancient relic that could bring back hope, peace, and rebuild their community.Hu: És ő elhatározta, hogy megtalálja ezt az ereklyét.En: And she was determined to find this relic.Hu: Különösen most, hogy Bálint egyre jobban elmerült a kétségbeesésben.En: Especially now that Bálint was increasingly consumed by despair.Hu: "Biztos vagy benne, hogy Zoltánban megbízhatunk?" Bálint kérdezte halkan, mialatt egy hatalmas omladékon másztak át.En: "Are you sure we can trust Zoltán?" Bálint asked quietly as they climbed over a massive pile of rubble.Hu: "Olyan keveset tudunk róla."En: "We know so little about him."Hu: Ágnes röviden megállt és visszanézett.En: Ágnes paused briefly and looked back.Hu: A szemében csillogott az eltökéltség fénye.En: Determination shone in her eyes.Hu: "Muszáj megbíznunk benne.En: "We have to trust him.Hu: Ő tudja, hol van az ereklye."En: He knows where the relic is."Hu: Zoltán hallgatagon vezette őket.En: Zoltán led them silently.Hu: Sötét köpenyébe burkolózva suttogva mesélt a régi történetekről és legendákról, amelyek csak fokozták Ágnes vágyát.En: Cloaked in a dark cape, he whispered tales of old stories and legends, which only intensified Ágnes's desire.Hu: Ám Bálint sosem hagyta el teljesen éber figyelmét.En: Yet Bálint never let go of his vigilance completely.Hu: Jó oka volt rá.En: He had good reason to.Hu: Ahogy leszállt az est, megpillantották a céljukat: a Gellért-hegyi barlang templomának bejáratát.En: As night fell, they caught sight of their destination: the entrance to the cave church on Gellért Hill.Hu: Zoltán megállt, és titokzatos mosollyal fordult feléjük.En: Zoltán stopped and turned to them with a mysterious smile.Hu: "Itt van az ereklye." mondta, de valami kihívás volt a hangjában.En: "Here is the relic," he said, but there was a challenge in his voice.Hu: Mire Ágnes reagálhatott volna, a templom bejáratából előléptek a túlélők egy csoportja, Zoltán kísérteties nevetése visszhangzott a falakon.En: Before Ágnes could react, a group of survivors emerged from the entrance of the church, Zoltán's eerie laughter echoing off the walls.Hu: Ágnes érezte, hogy Bálint megragadja a kezét.En: Ágnes felt Bálint grab her hand.Hu: Az ellenségük közeledett.En: Their enemies approached.Hu: Ám Ágnes nem hagyta, hogy a pánik úrrá legyen rajta.En: But Ágnes did not let panic overwhelm her.Hu: A gyors eszével hamar átfogta a helyzetet.En: With quick thinking, she quickly grasped the situation.Hu: Eszébe jutott valami, amit Zoltán korábban említett a barlangról.En: She remembered something Zoltán had mentioned earlier about the cave.Hu: Egy régi mesére alapozva elkotyogott valamit, hogy hol lehetne megtalálni egy titkos rejtekhelyet a bejárat mögött.En: Based on an old tale, he had blurted out something about where a secret hideout might be found behind the entrance.Hu: "Meg kell próbálnunk," súgta Bálintnak.En: "We must try," she whispered to Bálint.Hu: Végül bátorságukat összeszedve lopakodtak be az egyik sötét folyosóra.En: Finally, gathering their courage, they sneaked into one of the dark corridors.Hu: A közelgő veszély okozta izgalom közepette végül Ágnes rátalált a sírkő mögötti kis üregre benyúlva megtapintotta az ereklyét.En: Amidst the excitement caused by the impending danger, Ágnes found the small cavity behind the tombstone and felt the relic.Hu: Ekkor Zoltán és emberei hangjára lett figyelmes.En: Then she became aware of the voices of Zoltán and his men.Hu: Azonban a titkos kijáraton menekülve sikerült megszerezniük az ereklyét.En: However, escaping through the secret exit, they managed to seize the relic.Hu: Ahogy elhagyták a barlangot, Zoltán haragja miatt, Ágnes tudta, hogy a sikerük még nem biztos, de a hírből eredő remény hirtelen érezhető volt.En: As they left the cave, despite Zoltán's anger, Ágnes knew that their success was not yet certain, but the hope arising from the tale was suddenly tangible.Hu: Visszatértek a romos városba, immár kezükben az ereklyével, amely misztikus fényt árasztott.En: They returned to the ruined city, now with the relic in hand, which emitted a mystical light.Hu: "Lehet, hogy valóban megvan benne az a hatalom," tűnődött Bálint, arcán először mutatkozott valódi remény.En: "It might really possess that power," Bálint pondered, true hope showing on his face for the first time.Hu: Ágnes szívében a félelem helyét most már a világ változásának lehetősége foglalta el.En: In Ágnes's heart, the possibility of changing the world now replaced fear.Hu: A közösségre való megérkezésük ünnepléssel töltötte meg az arckifejezéseket és a szívveréseket.En: Their arrival back to the community filled faces and heartbeats with celebration.Hu: Az ereklye lassan elkezdett ragyogni, mintha válaszként mindarra az áldozatra és hitre, amit belé helyeztek.En: The relic slowly began to glow, as if in response to all the sacrifice and faith placed in it.Hu: Ez volt a kezdet.En: This was the beginning.Hu: A reményé.En: The beginning of hope.
