RE-RELEASE: Werewolves of Wolf Mountain: Terrors of Ancient Greece

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! ⁠ The werewolf myth as we know it today generally involves getting bitten by a werewolf, transforming during the full moon, and being very susceptible to silver bullets. But werewolves in ancient Greece and Rome were a little different. Join us for a spooky-season deep dive into ancient werewolf mythology from thousands of years ago. We'll take a look at the pre-Christian origins of the werewolf myth and its connections to death, starvation, cannibalism, and transformation.

Have Another Lard Sandwich

Strap in for a ride through the bizarre and the badass! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we set sail on the doomed T-36 barge—because what’s more fun than an ice-clogged death trap in the middle of the North Pacific? Discover the harrowing tale of survival, mystery, and a terrifying maritime disaster that makes your morning commute look like a spa day. Then, we shift gears as we meet Bessie Stringfield, the fearless motorcyclist who shattered racial and gender barriers while riding solo across America. From surviving the Jim Crow era on two wheels to performing death-defying stunts, Bessie proved that nothing—not even 1930s societal norms—could slow her down. Whether you love nautical nightmares or trailblazing triumphs, this episode is packed with history, horror, and horsepower. #WeirdHistory #SurvivalStories #MotorcycleLegends #BoxOfOddities If you would like to advertise on The Box of Oddities, contact advertising@airwavemedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
