  • BONUS: Weirdumentary with Gary Rhodes
    Mar 8 2026
    I'm excited to be posting this BONUS content - an interview with film historian Gary D. Rhodes. Gary is joining me to talk about his newest book Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters from 1970s Documentaries. I can't overstate how enjoyable this book was and how likely listeners to MonsterTalk and In ReSearch Of... are to be equally thrilled with it.

    extended episode notes available on our website.

  • S05E21 - Dragons & Trolls of the Marsh
    Mar 1 2026
    We are delighted to talk with Dr. Christopher Beatty about his research into Dragonflies. From ancient times these insects have been the subject of wonder, fear and misinformation. Let's keep the wonder but get rid of some of the other stuff as we dive in on a creature whose lifecycle, morphology, and effectiveness as a hunter elevate its place in the lore of humanity.

    Why this title for the episode? Tune in and find out.

    Petroglyphs of Dragonflies 1000y/o (Atlas Obscura)

    Dragonflies in Japan - Akitsu Shima

    Dragonfly Helmet (Japanese)
    Those are from a class of helmets called Kiwari Kabuto - amazing variety

    Some cool electronica I used to listen to back in "the day" from an album named after dragonflies: Odonata by Amethystium
    Good lord - has it been 25 years?? Tempus fugit.

    Additional note from Dr. Beatty:
    "I’m the past-president of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas, a group that promotes public awareness, as well as research and conservation of dragonflies. We are open to anyone with interest in odonates, and membership is quite inexpensive ($15/year).

    We have an annual meeting, which for 2026 will be taking place in Hot Springs, North Carolina, in the last week of June. Info on the meeting can be found here:https://www.dragonflysocietyamericas.org/hotsprings2026."

As a part 2 for the Kentucky Goblins case, the information is given and explained in a why that make you appreciate the proposed answer as to the identity of the "goblins". Very nice analysis and conclusion. 10/10
