50 States of Terror - American Cryptid Podcast
From sea to terrifying sea... each state has it's own Homegrown Cryptid. Join us as we tour the United States and it's territories; directly from the safety of their own home, and deep dive into each state's own thing that goes bump in the night.
In addition to venturing into each state's own creepy cryptids, aliens, and conspiracies, we are getting our passports ordered for our new...INTERNATIONAL episodes! That's right, on top of exploring each state, sprinkled in between episodes, we will get our passports stamped and explore cryptids from other countries! So join me as we take a trip around the world and discuss cryptids, aliens, and the stories behind them.

Minnesota The North Star State: Mermaids
Under the sea? More like Under 10,000 lakes!
Kailey leads the discussion of the history of mermaids and the sighting that inspired the episode this week. But spoiler alert....It wasn't the most voted upon Cryptid! Which means next week a Minnesota PART II is coming! Listeners voted and wanted to hear about the Minnesota Ice Man. So she hopes you aren't *too* disappointed and will enjoy this episode in the meantime.
Anthony cracks some bad dad jokes... Kailey tries to keep up and has some pretty terrible ringers of her own. For more reading on the topics check out some of these links!
