This month we are joined by Dr. Jennifer Seman to discuss the life and legacy of the rebellious Mexican folk Saint Teresa Urrea. For some reason, the unedited interview ended up on podcatchers but that will hopefully change and full episode is here before Apple and Spotify update the new file:

This month, Dr. Jennifer Koshatka Seman joins us to talk about her book Borderlands Curanderos: The Worlds of Santa Teresa Urrea and Don Pedrito Jaramillo. We focus on the life of Teresa Urrea, a folk saint and spiritual healer in late 19th centur...

We just published a podcast detailing the occasionally problematic life of Leo Martello, who either invented (likely) or was initiated (less likely) into a Sicilian variant of Wicca. After Stonewall, he became active in the gay liberation movement, blending his activism with witchcraft.

New podcast is out, link in the comments. In the summer of 1985, some 100,000 people visited a little shrine in the small Irish village of Ballinspittle. The statue, it seems, was able to move by some heavenly force. We talk about how this mystery was in part driven by a series of scandals that challenged the moral fabric of Ireland in the 1980s.

We made a patreon pitch video. While we have only released three videos, we have ten written through Christmas and about twenty outlined for 2021. We have so far covered the relationship between spiritualism and the women's suffrage movement, a strange case of cursed rocks at the height of neoliberal restructuring in the United Kingdom, and UFO beliefs in Cold War Latin America. In a few weeks, we will be releasing an exploration of Bigfoot stories in the context of scientific racism and the legacies of settler-colonialism. If this interests you and you'd like to support, check out patreon.com/sh*tgetsweird. We also have some great designs for merch we will send to our supporters. It's always awkward to ask for money, but this project is very engrossing work and if you like what you hear consider chipping in a few bucks a month. Also thanks to Jolie Media for the video!
