Episode 88 Cajun Country Critters

Published: Jan. 25, 2021, 6 a.m.

b'In this episode, Cody and Chris take you to Cajun Country for some good old fashioned (and often hysterical) folklore. First, Cody talks about the pirate, Jean LaFitte, and the spirit known as the Fifolet that guards his treasure. Then, Chris discusses the Bigfoot of the Bayou known as the Honey Island Swamp Monster. Next, Cody shares The Grunch (that\\u2019s not a euphemism), a creature that may have formed out of testicles. Finally, Chris talks about the most famous of Cajun Cryptids, the Rougarou, a creepy werewolf-like creature. Creep of the Week comes from listener Aaron. This week\\u2019s drinks/food are Swamp Water, Old Fashioned Cajun Cake, and a Hurricane.
