UPDATE!
A couple of days ago I announced my new radio show, airing this Sunday at 9 pm UTC.
Click here for the orginal post.
The original title was, "Cryptids, Monsters, and Mythical Beasts."
But that's not actually a good radio title. It's long, it's wordy, and a lot of people have no idea what a cryptid is. (Tune into the show and you'll find out!)
Henceforth, this show shall be named
The Cabinet of Curiosities!
It's catchier, easier to remember, and comes with its own interesting story.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, when historical sciences were all the rage, collectors would seek out "curiosities" from all around the world and house them in their personal collections, some of which were, in fact, actual cabinets. They were in essence private museums of science and nature and contained everything from shrunken heads to bone fragments from some unknown and monstrous species (dinosaurs), to rare perfumes, stuffed creatures, and flora from far away lands.
Think of them as the original Ripley's Believe It Or Not attractions.
Over time, almost all of these private collections were assimilated into museums, and thanks to them, many priceless historical relics have been preserved for us to wonder at today.

My show is going to cover much more than just the tangible, however.
And many of my topics would be impossible to put on a shelf. Poltergeists, for example.
But the mood is right. We shall definitely be delving into the curious on my show.
Remember, if you have a spooky, unusual, or just plain curious story, I would love to hear it and share it on the air!

I am so excited for this!!
Thank you!!
@lenadr Awesome name! I can't wait to tune in......How do I listen? Also, I'm really resisting googling 'cryptid' right now.......
Haha. Basically, I think of cryptids as creatures that defy explanation. If one runs in front of you and you scream, "what the hell was that?!?!" ...that's a cryptid. LOL

STOPThis sounds epic!
Let me just calculate how possible would it be for me to listen to it live.. agh, time zones give me headache..
I gather that by UTC one means GMT.. +2 that makes it.. uncomfortably late 23:00.. huh.
Moral dilemma.
Listen to the epic curiosities live and become a zombie like curiosity for the Monday morning myself.. or wait.. for a recording? Will there be a recording?
Pretty please?
gives the cutest expression of puppy eyes
Haha, yes I will definitely be recording. I'm not sure where it will be yet, but I'll let you know. Maybe I'll make it a post. I'm still figuring all this out. :)
Thank you! ^^
Love the name you settled on. Looking forward to listening to the show.
Hooray!
