Ep 41: My Baby Takes the Mornin’ Train

One of the best surviving examples of oral tradition, or passing cultural information by word of mouth, are jokes. The classic story of ‘The Baby Train’ is definitely an urban legend with a punchline, even if it’s a hokey one.  Jaded as we are today, it’s still easy to imagine your off-beat uncle recounting the story of a town full of babies, whose conception was inspired by having an unwanted alarm, an early morning train, and nothing better to do than…  You know, make babies. Have there ever been microscopic baby booms? We’ll explore one inspired by a dead Canadian millionaire, and take a look at how seemingly trivial things like weather, can effect population growth. Join us as we take a look at the real-life baby trains carrying New York’s foundlings across America, and how they compare to this light-hearted legend

Vol 2 Ch 2: Fear Not, For I Am With You

The Curator pierces the veil and brings you a story of one of the most haunting figures from Spiritualism’s early days. Death is his constant companion and perhaps his oldest friend. What lessons does this marvelous medium have for you? Will you solve the mysterious riddle that has been left for the Curator, perhaps by an old friend of her own?

When we think of Hawaii, here on the mainland, we might imagine hula dancers in grass skirts. We might think of movies like Lilo and Stitch or Jurassic Park (it was filmed there, look it up). We might have googled photos of a certain shirtless Presiden… Read More …
