Howling at the Moon: Werewolves, Myths, and Why They’re Kind of Hot!

Lock your doors and hide your silverware, because this week on Weirdos of Whimsy, Jacklynn and Stevie are catching a serious case of the zoomies. The duo sinks their teeth into the hairy history of werewolves—from the ancient "oopsie" of King Lycaon (don’t feed gods people!) to the literal witch-hunts (wolf-hunts?) of the European werewolf trials.
Between thirsting over cinematic lycanthropes and questioning why the local "weirdo" always ended up on the torture rack (justice for the outcasts!), we're exploring why we’re so obsessed with the moon and the monsters it creates. Whether you’re here for the etymology, the 80s movie nostalgia, or just to hear two humans howl at nothing, this episode is a howling good time.
Remember: If you see a naked guy in the woods with a suspicious unibrow... mind your business.
