Podcasting was always here. Even before humanity’s birth, podcasting awaited its coming. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.

TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW DO YOU HAVE MEDICINE YOU NEED TO TAKE?

Establishing a character is a villain with a warped sense of morality by having them read the New York Times

This young Erythrosuchus is having *a day* #SciArt #paleoart

Lighthouse Mimics (Farimendax carolinae) are pack hunters that evolved from deep-sea fish. When a ship passes by, a lone hunter uses its lighthouse-like lure to trick the crew into redirecting the boat, leading it to crash into shallow rocks. The stranded sailors become the pack's next meal.

It's #mothersday, so how about a selection of #werewolf flicks that feature werewolf moms!

Happy May the Fourth. Star Wars is and has always been political, anti fascist and socialist.

A realistic, two-hour dinner conversation doesn't look like the kind of movie where you'd find a monster, right? But looks can be deceiving. This week, we're going where no monster podcast has gone before!

Be not afraid! Eternal bliss doesn't pay the bills, so it's time for the heavenly host of angels to proclaim with unending hymns the reason for the 6,000-year gap in their resumé. Dust off your halo, preen your wings, and call your optometrist, because this week we're getting biblically accurate!

Way back in cowboy times, a small town in Iowa was visited by a pterodactyl with laser vision. What better way is there to start the morning than by unpacking that? Finding Monster Right Ep 176: Fortune Pteller! Van Meter Visitor: Omen or Flown In?

In honor of Triple Event Day, Finding Monster Right is coming out of an unexpected hiatus with a week of THREE episodes! Look for them this Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (I would have posted them all today, but I was afraid that Spotify wouldn't let me). Welcome back, Little Monsters!🧚‍♀️🧹🩸💚💚🖤

The climax of Pacific Rim takes place on January 12, 2025. Happy Apocalypse-Cancelling Day to all who celebrate! #filmsky

"Mothman Saves Christmas" (FMR #145) We played Ah, Dang! Mothman Won't Move Out (He Said It Was Just For The Weekend) with its creator, @ettin.itch.io. At the 26-minute mark, we begin crafting what I think is truly, TRULY the greatest Christmas story ever told. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

"Do You Want to Build a Golem? Frosty; or, The Modern Snowmetheus" (FMR #116) I barely had to edit this A+ deep dive into the mechanics and lore of Frosty the Snowman's hat. There must have been some magic in this rare, post-2021 in-person recording! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

"Sleipnir Games: Is an Eight-Legged Horse Heir to Asgard?" (FMR #115) We sat down with our good friend and certified OG Little Monster @chibi-tom.bsky.social to talk about Sleipnir (Odin's horse and nephew) and other yuletide monsters. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

"Ballots of Holly: Vote Santa Claus for Congress" (FMR #99) We dropped an emergency Christmas episode in May to endorse @santaclausalaska.bsky.social in the 2022 Alaska congressional special election. We also explored some of Rankin-Bass's wilder Santa Claus lore. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

"The Seussiverse's Holiday Crime: Grinching the Clock to Stop Christmastime" (FMR #80) Can you pod a whole cast solely in rhyme? Will listeners listen, and have a good time? It's one of the storied feats of our show. But to answer the question, I really don't know. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

In the Monster Apartment Era, we questioned the madness of Rankin-Bass and finally solved the question everyone asks: Why the hell is a winged lion in charge of the Island of Misfit Toys? "A Couple of Misfits in King Moonracer's Court" (FMR #79) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

The 2nd Christmas special from our first year was "Naughty or Nice: Are Elves Monsters?" (FMR #29). Our attempt to connect Christmas elves to high fantasy elves became an early test of our show's conceptual limits. Also, I was really cozy for this recording! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

Ranking Christmas specials of FMR Past(🧵)! Did you know Jimmy Stewart (as in "It's a Wonderful Life" Jimmy Stewart) once conspired with an oil magnate to steal a mummified yeti hand? "Yeti or Not: How Jimmy Stewart Fought the Abominable Snowman (and Won)" (FMR #28) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

So I didn't upload a podcast episode for Halloween because I was like "Everyone's too anxious right now; I'll wait until after the election." And then everything got worse and I didn't eat for a week and then I started a mad scramble to re-arrange my entire life and yeah. New episode soon, maybe.

Happy Thanksgiving! November has been a rough month for us, but we're grateful for the communities we've built, including our Little Monsters! We've traditionally plugged charities that assist Indigenous families and folks in need. All our previous plugs are listed in the replies below! 🖤💚💜, FMR

More people are familiar with the David Bowie song "Cat People" than they are the 1982 film for which the song was written. This tale of sex panthers, melting corpses, and unethical zoos has us wondering exactly how uncomfortable we should be the next time we find ourselves in a pet store.

Do you have the soul for getting down? Is Michael Jackson supposed to be a werecat? Who taught the zombies all this choreography? All these questions and many more will be answered in our examination of the spookiest music video of all time!

As a kid, did you ever tell a whimsical story to explain why you got so dirty outside? Did you convince Arthur Conan Doyle that you could manifest fairies with your mind? Well, that scenario did happen to the school-aged perps the world's first photo hoax. Elementary school, my dear Little Monsters!

In this week’s After Dark episode, It's time to check in on someone who's clearly checked out. Finding Monster Right Episode 169 - Ogtha Wrong Places: One Redditor's Cockroach-Wife (FMR: After Dark)

Due to a recurring technical issue, FMR production is officially on pause. Sorry, y'all. There will be a new episode + After Dark before the end of the month to make up for it. And then, Spooky Season! 🖤, Allie

The timeline has changed since we went on break, so now we're back to save humanity from the rise of the machines! AI can't take our jobs if we take AI's job first, and the most prominent of those jobs is sending Terminators back in time to kill John Connor. Come with us if you want a living wage!

War! The Merchant Church has begun its full assault on the Falcon Corps. Their ultimate weapon is ready to reduce Cay Caldera to a scorched rock upon the Stygian Sea. Is this the fiery end of the last free city in the world, or will our heroes find the way out of the danger zone?

Our heroes Wren and Fletcher are joined by their friend Impik on a mission to deal with the vampiric banker Count Esvanni... And that should give his evil plan just enough time to go off. Finding Monster Right Episode 166 - Through the Fire: Every Moment Counts open.spotify.com/episode/5l3b...

In their ongoing quest to stop the Merchant Church from obtaining a weapon of mass destruction, our heroes reconoiter with Wren's ex-wingmate, the Falcon Corps deserter Drusilla, to rescue a hostage from a ship in the Merchant Church's blockade of the island. open.spotify.com/episode/1VHQ...

Continuing our high-flying D&D adventure, Wren (Allie) and Fletcher (Ben) keep a promise they made ten years ago to Demetria the sphinx. However, it looks like she may have some other, more selachian guests. Finding Monster Right Episode 164 - Through the Fire: Swimming with Sharks

Apologies. It looks like today's episode went up with the last third chopped off for some reason. I've reuploaded the audio to Spotify, and I *believe* that the issue will be resolved on other platforms in a few. If the episode abruptly stopped for you, try the link below and skip to 30:50.
