  • 145. Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King

    145. Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King
    Mar 5 2025

    Get ready for a good, solid dose of American industrialism! In Canada. That's right, on the advice of J.P. Morgan, Charles Melville Hays is going to bring American grit to the Canadian railway, and how do you think that'll work out for the 51st state?

    This is the story of Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King. Come for the ghost, stay for teeny tiny knuckle workout, the most Midwestern person, the last days of Blockbuster, moose harvest, pool skimmers, the whole deal with the Titanic, and ghosts have no friction.

  • 144. The Great Saltair

    144. The Great Saltair
    Feb 26 2025

    The Great Salt Lake does not have any whales. We want to be clear about that. We DO take a departure here and talk about whales for a surprisingly long time, but please understand that we realize that there are no whales in the Great Salt Lake. Allegedly.

    This is the story of the Great Saltair. Come for the ghosts, stay for a race to the spike, D-coin, I’ll keep adding wives until I love myself, I’m eating nine ice creams, normies love salt, they’re a minor whale, Coney Island with half the condoms, and EDM with Mormons.

makes me laugh out loud

This podcast makes me want to get drunk and have conversations with my friends 😂 I will listen with a headphone in while doing chores and my kids keep asking what I'm laughing at. A great podcast for anyone that enjoys paranormal/history stories but also has a dark humor.

Ghost stories for interest, not scares

I enjoyed listening to this podcast over a long distance road trip I was doing alone. I'm not super into podcasts in general, because I often find podcaster people annoying and, mostly, I don't love having to listen to a conversation I can't take part in. But I loved Cartalk back in the day, so that's an example of a talk radio show I enjoyed. I'm guessing this is not really a show for super ghost obsessives, since they are very open about not doing tons of reasearch, but it is good enough to tell an absorbing story and they note the stuff that could stand more investigation, if you want to do it. They also tell a lot of stories I've never heard before, which is refreshing. They hit some of the big, famous ones, of course, but also go into a lot of smaller, more off the wall ones as well, which I really enjoy. I find ghost stories super interesting, but when I'm driving for hours alone, especially at night, I don't need to be freaked out. They go on so many tangents and get distracted by the randomest details, that it's very difficult to get genuinely scared. It is, however, entertaining and they have a friendly vibe. I subtracted a star on a less important rating because sometimes the meandering tangents are genuinely too long, especially the ones about their personal lives.

Other points of note: I appreciate Patrick's effort to "fix" some of the misguided phrasing of things, such as when a sexual relationship between a slave and her owner is termed an "affair" by a reputable news source and he insists on calling it assault. It is hopeful when people doing things in the public eye/media etc. learn to be better and call out mistakes like this (yes, it is generous to call them mistakes). Secondly, I very much enjoy Clayton's appreciation of the ridiculous. The more absurd and, frankly, dumb the situation gets, the more he savors it, which gives me vicarious chuckles. Third, they have serious geek cred, which they reveal incidentally, for the most part, like when Clayton makes a semi obscure He-Man reference or when he admits his celebrity crush is on Tatiana Maslany (She Hulk). I own a Bubbah Hotep dvd and saw it on the big screen in Chicago hosted by Bruce Campbell in person, so I feel like they're kinda my people (Patrick has a signed poster from the movie).

Overall, definitely five stars. My favourite story so far is the one about the ghost hole. I love that and think it needs to be a plot device in a mystery novel.
