Episode 47 - AfterWyrd

This AfterWyrd is packed with strange tales and thought-provoking discussions. Andy and Craig start with a "cursed" King James Bible, then delve into a bizarre news item about a man claiming to be Jesus. They recoil in disgust at a Wales Online story about a supposed "bum hole" in a can of stewed steak.

The conversation then takes a turn toward storytelling ethics. They discuss the challenges of balancing engaging narrative with factual accuracy, particularly when dealing with recent history and real people, citing examples like the Witch Farm case, the Beast of Gévaudan, and their Valentine's Day episode.

They debate the line between embellishment and fabrication, the unreliability of memory, and the importance of preserving local stories.

Stay Wyrd and don’t blame the owls!
