Miscellaneous
Another Superduperstitious Special Report? Another critical look at the pseudoscientific shenanigans of cryptozoology? BOTH?! What a day!In this first half of another epic two-part deep dive, the boys examine some cryptozoological coattail riding, Europeans’ long history of “discovering” species that were new only to their white asses, and of course some super cool aminals. Also, apparently a shitload of feral cats were just unleashed upon Chicago, so that’s nice.The difference between “cryptid” and “not yet known to science” isn’t as black and white as the critters discussed in this episode. Listen in and appreciate that wordplay!EPISODE LINKSPalestine resources: https://oc-palestine.carrd.co/Palestinian Centre for Human Rights: https://www.pchrgaza.org/en/Four Phantoms email: fourphantomsbeer@gmail.comFour Phantoms website: https://www.fourphantoms.net/Four Phantoms store: https://four-phantoms-brewing-company.square.site/Four Phantoms on Untappd: https://untappd.com/FourPhantoms/beerSDS PSAFeral cats in Chicago: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/14/chicago-feral-cats-rat-crisisBullshit study justifying feral cat program: https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5789309/Process Church of the Final Judgment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Church_of_the_Final_JudgmentProlly a cult: https://bit.ly/3wAWv6LSome actual science: https://abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoors/trap-neuter-release/Wyatt’s storyLoren Coleman tweet: https://twitter.com/cryptoloren/status/1269359455122178051?lang=enCollin Dickey’s article: https://lithub.com/the-monster-that-everyone-saw-and-no-one-cared-to-talk-about/Guardian panda article: https://bit.ly/2SrCnFwCoelacanth in Mountain Dew: https://www.instagram.com/p/BvEjnwqnuum/Jake’s storyAll previous Special Reports: https://www.superduperstitious.com/superduperstitious-special-reports1999 NOVA article: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/fantastic-creatures/Sclater’s 1901 paper: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/31590976#page/90/mode/1upOkapi photo: https://bit.ly/3yPOKMv See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
