    Um, Yes Hello: It's Spooky Lakes with Geo Rutherford

    Um, Yes Hello: It's Spooky Lakes with Geo Rutherford

    For this episode, Meagan is joined by Geo Rutherford, an artist, author, and amateur limnologist, who is well known for her Spooky Lakes video series that takes place each October on TikTok and Instagram. We talk about what inspired Geo to become the internet's Lady of the Lakes, and take a dive into the haunted hydrology of three of the world's spookiest bodies of water.

    The Fermi Paradox with Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick

    The Fermi Paradox with Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick

    Listeners, it has been way too long since we've talked about aliens. Let's fix that! In this episode, Meagan is joined again by Substitute Sister and astronomer, Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick, to talk about the Fermi Paradox, which asks us to consider why we haven't heard from any intelligent extraterrestrial life yet, especially given the likely large number of habitable planets in our own galaxy that could host it.

    The Salem Witch Trials Part III

    Can it be? The third and final part of our series on the Salem Witch Trials has arrived! You'll have to excuse the delay, we probably had sleepy sickness. In this episode we talk about the scientific/medical explanations that have been proposed for the events in Salem, and share a little about our own experiences visiting the Witch City!

    The Salem Witch Trials Part II: Everyone Sucks

    The Salem Witch Trials Part II: Everyone Sucks

    Welcome to Part II of our three-part series on the Salem Witch Trials. In this episode, we discuss the specifics of the events of 1692-1693, coming to the completely logical conclusion that people generally suck. If the word "suck" bothers you, this episode is not for you.

    The Salem Witch Trials Part I

    The Salem Witch Trials Part I

    Almost four years into our time as the Spooky Science Sisters and we are finally delivering on our promise of talking about the Salem Witch Trials. What we thought would be one of our original set of episodes back in 2020 was pushed back, along with our own trip to the Witch City. Well, in September 2023, we finally took that trip, and we are so excited to share our thoughts about Salem with you! We promise the wait was worth it.

Great Listen Always

Love listening to every episode especially when debunking occurs.

I love your subject matter but you sound like 15 year olds. Can’t believe you’re scientists.

Love it

I find it completely entertaining I can’t go an episode without completely cracking up with the hosts as they banter back and fourth about the topics! Highly recommended
