The Moon in Carolina

The Moon in Carolina is a podcast about applied myth, folklore, history, and the paranormal — told the way you’d want it told by a friend who did all the reading for you. Each week, host Shelby Bundy follows a single thread as far as it goes: a piece of folklore you’ve half-heard but never quite understood, a strange event with a long history, a figure who got remembered wrong, a practice that has lived across cultures for centuries. Cryptids and saints, ghost ships and sailors’ superstitions, forgotten goddesses, haunted ground, and the old customs that still shape how we mark time, grief, and the turning of a year. Shelby is a published author and the creatrix behind the ritual lifestyle brand Tamed Wild. She holds a BA in Anthropology and a postgraduate certificate in Ancient Religions, and is pursuing a master’s in Creative Writing & Literature at Harvard Extension School. She records from a hundred-year-old manor in the Appalachia mountains of North Carolina. New episodes weekly.
