    Where I Live: The Listener Holiday Special

    “We’ve always been inventing and reinventing new worlds for taking care of each other. We just have to notice.” We asked our subscribers to send us audio postcards to encapsulate where they live, what makes it special, and what people get wrong about the place that they call home. For this holiday season, we've woven together an aural tapestry from their answers to remind one another that no matter how far apart we are, no matter what people say about the places we come from, we still share small moments of beauty, connection, and hope.

    The Past of Christmas Ghosts with Chelsey Weber-Smith

    Is the thing we call the Christmas Spirit actually more paranormal than sentimental? It sure used to be, when a big part of the Victorian Christmas tradition was sitting around a crackling fire and telling scary ghost stories. For this two-part series, Sarah and American Hysteria’s Chelsey Weber-Smith resurrect the tradition by digging up the corpses of old ghost-related “true” stories using their favorite website, newspapers.com. You can find the companion episode by subscribing to American Hysteria’s Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/americanhysteria or Apple+: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/american-hysteria/id6443183856 More Chelsey Weber-Smith: https://linktr.ee/americanhysteria Produced + edited by Miranda Zickler

    The Dictionary Wars! with Gabe Henry

    Remember being a teen and coming up with “cool” ways of spelling common words? Well, just like the teenager it was, the United States in the 18th century was annoying their mom, England, with the hip words that were being edited and added to their lexicon. The antagonistic pair of nations on the brink of the Revolutionary War were always competing to prove their superiority and independence in small cultural battles, and words themselves were no different.  Fellow word-nerd Gabe Henry, author of Enough Is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell, joins Sarah as they chummily pun their way through the story of the 18th century Dictionary Wars, the story of the publishing battles fought between a handful of eccentric word-lovers in The US and England, all vying for the future supremacy of their own spellings. Digressions include crop circles from Unsolved Mysteries, dishonest detergent marketing, and old fashioned sock puppet accounts.

    Introducing: The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall

    Listen now to the first episode of Sarah's new 8-part series with CBC Podcasts, The Devil You Know. In the 1980s and 90s, Satan and his followers were accused of brainwashing children, sacrificing babies, and infiltrating North American society on a massive scale — yet these thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found.  In this all new series, host Sarah Marshall explores the tangled web of the Satanic Panic, in a journey that will take you everywhere from Victoria, B.C. to rural Kentucky to San Antonio, Texas. This is a show about the people who experienced the panic in real-time — the believers, the skeptics, the bystanders, and the wrongfully-convicted.  Click here for more episodes More You're Wrong About: https://linktr.ee/ywapod Bonus Episodes on Patreon Buy cute merch YWA on Instagram Support the show
