    The movies freed Willy, but what about Keiko? For the second part of our trilogy on the biggest aquatic star of the 90s, deep sea correspondent Brianna Bowman takes Sarah through Keiko’s journey to the Oregon Coast Aquarium for rehabilitation and the developing plan to return him to the open ocean. But first, both marine scientists and rich benefactors have to try to teach a killer whale to be wild again.

    The Worst Movie Ever Made? with Paul Scheer and Amy Nicholson

    What actually makes a movie “bad”? In this bonus episode, Paul Scheer and Amy Nicholson of the film podcast Unspooled tell Sarah the story of what many consider to be the worst film of all time: the 1987 adventure comedy Ishtar. From the movie’s chaotic production to its perplexing public ridicule, together they analyze whether Ishtar is as bad as people say or if our culture just loves to jump on a snarky bandwagon. Digressions include James Cameron schadenfreude, $19 AMC pretzels, and The Hangover for the AARP crowd.

    Keiko Part 1 with Brianna Bowman

    Can a killer whale really jump that high? For kids of the 90s, the adventure movie Free Willy introduced us to magic of the orca through its charismatic megafauna star, Keiko. In part one of our series, deep sea correspondent Brianna Bowman tells Sarah about his journey from free marine mammal to imprisoned entertainer to Hollywood royalty. Together they discuss what Keiko meant to them as kids, 1990s whale-related activism, and the follies of anthropomorphic projection. Digressions include the power of horse memoirs, the importance of cartoon eyebrows, and the uncommon honesty of the flea circus.  Produced + edited by Miranda Zickler More Brianna Bowman: Brianna's Website Support Brianna's new podcast Rewilding Keiko on Patreon  Submit a voicemail with your memories of Keiko at rewildingpodcast@outlook.com (Brianna's Note: yes, Outlook!

    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
