Ep 234: Werewolves part 1

Howl's wolfing castle. Blurry Photober continues as Flora cracks open the history book on werewolves! A classic horror monster, werewolves have been around different cultures for millennia, but maybe not quite the way you think. David explores the origins of this popular mythology, including tales from antiquity, global versions, and the beginning of their evolution to what we know and love today. Joining the fun is folklorist, cultural anthropologist, and editor of The Skeptic magazine, Deborah Hyde. Deborah is kind enough to share her insight into werewolf history and lore. The subject is wild and wooly, and just one part won't cut it. Enjoy this, the first of 2 parts all about the wildest, most transformative monster you ever need poop bags for!
