Had an absolutely amazing time hanging out with Charlie, talking research into folklore and legends, and chatting with folks last night courtesy of South Carolina State Library's Speaker at the Center series. Also: a successful remote viewing experiment, and a visit with the lions from Lausanne!

TFW I finish editing an episode of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social and it has one of the most off-the-wall unexpected conspiracy theories I've ever encountered in the wild.

Hey, y'all! Michael here! I've spent the last couple of months getting ready to move and then moving, and now things may be about to settle down for a bit. Can't wait to get back in front of the mic! And Charlie and I may have a new episode format to test out for occasional use!

Michael here! I hate to say it, but I again have to delay my talk at the SC State Library in Columbia! YIKES. Sorry! Everything is OK, there's just a confluence of life factors that mean I can't be there that day. We're talking now about dates later this year and I'll let y'all know!

Bertie County, NC, is a place of rural beauty--and possibly of an angry ghost engaged in some questionable parenting from beyond the grave! Join Michael and Charlie for a deep dive into the history of one of the state's oldest counties and a fun spooky legend! #podcast #northcarolina #paranormal

Ah, but will anyone ever be able to tell a generative LLM to gin up 125 episodes (and plenty more on the way) of deep-dive history, folklore, and friendship? (Lord but I sure hope not. Yikes.)

It’s the slow season at work, so I am listening to every episode of @arcanecarolinas.bsky.social again. Check out this podcast even if you don’t live in the Carolinas.

Late on a rainy, foggy night, as you drive through the early settlement of Jamestown, NC, a young woman may flag you down in hopes of a ride to her home. Is there real history behind this well-known tale? #podcast #northcarolina #ghost #haunting arcane-carolinas.libsyn.com/ac-00125-lyd...
