Olympia Oddities

Summerween Live Show

Live from Odds & Ends in Olympia, Washington. I tell a revamped version of my Ogopogo episode, with updated sightings and new information. The wildly talented and creative Jonah Barnett does a reading of Boggy from their book Moss Covered Claws. We wrap the whole thing up with an informal sit down Q & A with each other. Thank you to Jonah for organizing this event, to Odds & Ends for opening up their doors to the local cryptid lovers of Olympia, and Gorgeous Gorgeous girls for providing spooky tunes.

Side Show: SuperGame

I'm back! In this episode I recap all the ways I've been pulled in a million directions lately, from the fun (paintball! burlesque!) to the not so fun and everything in between. Once I'm done recapping my life recently, I dive into some very animal centric True Crime and Local News. Catch my exciting announcement at the end of this one. Feels good to be back!

Gum Wall

today we’re taking a dive into a well known sticky, and slightly smelly, local oddity in Seattle. Loved by some, and absolutely hated by others, Seattle’s Gum Wall contains more than just wads of pre chewed, aging gum. Among strangers saliva, you can find history, myth, and even the occasional controversy. Let’s peel back some of those layers of gum together, and try to get to the bottom of what’s fact, and what is fiction. https://www.pikeplacemarket.org/vendor/the-gum-wall/ https://www.seattlemet.com/news-and-city-life/2022/03/origin-story-history-gum-wall-seattle-famous-landmarks Atlas Obscura - Gum Wall Unexpected Productions - The Gum Wall https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/11/seattle-gum-wall-steam-cleaners-pike-place-market https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/gum-wall-gets-naked-in-early-morning-steam-cleaning/ Secret Seattle - The Sticky Story Behind Seattle’s Famous Gum Wall https://www.nb cnews.com/news/us-news/bubble-rubble-crews-clean-famed-seattle-gum-wall-n461086 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kiro7.com/news/local/artist-pays-tribute-pete-carroll-with-chewy-mural-seattles-iconic-gum-wall/XS2XPB4FIVBTXF3LKVX52A362Q/%3foutputType=amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/streamers-gum-wall-licking-stunt-leaves-viewers-feeling-queasy/amp_articleshow/104915291.cms

Side Show: Weird Washington Laws

On this episode of Side Show I talk some recent bizarre news stories out of the PNW, share some strange Washington laws, and leave you with a brief life update.

The Disappearance of Bernice Selby

Bernice Selby was 27 years old in 1962, living in a house on the shores of Lake Cassidy near Marysville, WA and finalizing the details of the divorce of her soon to be ex husband, Donald Selby. She was last seen in October of that year, but wouldn't be reported missing until 2 months later. Investigators had a pretty solid idea of who their main suspect was. Unfortunately, (natural) disaster caught them off course and they ended up with a solid theory, but no one to bring to justice.
