There's simply not another podcast like it.

The Damned Thing and Its Damned Invisible Relatives

May 29 2024 49 mins  
In episode 119 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson returns to the theme of invisibility, using the Ambrose Bierce story "The Damned Thing" as a jumping off point. Of course, the Lawrence Livermore invisible bigfoot has to be thrown in for good measure! He ends with a little Devil's Dictionary, also by Ambrose Bierce. Here's the Project Gutenberg li

Episode 118 is the fifth and final episode of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles. It's a panel discussion with Vic, JJ Johnson, Father Birdsong, Chris James, and Dave Griffith, paranormal investigator extraordinaire. We do the best we can to define the essential characteristics of monsters, and, as usual, fail miserably! Or maybe you'll disagree! We also talk abou

Is Existence Binary? Six Monsters Seeking a Place on the Spectrum of Actuality

May 14 2024 103 mins  
Episode 117 is the fourth segment of the Trailer Trash Terrors Monster Chronicles. Of course it's weird...but I don't think it disappoints. We have Newt from Alien, Sadaam the chimp, genetically engineered chimps, the SLAM nuclear plane, Spring-heeled Jack, The Partridge Creek Monster, the Kandahar Giant, and a new hypothesis about "Homo Sanguinas," a naturally ev

The Ecology of the Yokai: The Monster Chronicles, Part Three

May 05 2024 65 mins  
In episode 116 of The Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson joins forces with the amazing and eclectic mind of JJ Johnson, host of Southern Demonology, and a true expert on Japanese monsters...the Yokai. It's always fascinating to hear the thoughts of a mind like JJ's!

In episode 115 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, Vic Hermanson tries to create categories of monsters, and delves into the mental processes common to those monsters with 46 chromosomes.

We Need Monsters! Monster Chronicles Part One

Apr 24 2024 78 mins  
In episode 114 of TTT, Vic Hermanson is 100 percent, laser focused on monsters, which is actually his favorite topic. He talks about Carl, a patient that many nurses thought was a human-ape hybrid. He talks about Teratomas, which genuinely can look monstrous. He talks about the man-eating tree of Madagascar, plus much, much more. Then, as he often does, he gets all philosophical an

The Wilowampus, Banisher of the Gyascutus

Apr 17 2024 23 mins  
This is the first TTT Tidbit episode in a long time. You get to meet Acadia, a feminine cyberintelligence programmed by Boudreaux to give him an occasional "freaking break"! And, I tell you all about the Willowampus! It was pie-bald, the size and general shape of a large wolf, had feathers on the back part of its body and huge wings! Nobody has seen it since 1916...but th

The Great James Randi and Daniel Dunglas Home Showdown

Apr 15 2024 102 mins  
In episode 112, I'm joined by Dave Griffith to talk about whether or not Daniel Dunglas home cold have won the James Randi Educational Foundation Paranormal Challenge. I personally don't think anyone can win the challenge, even if they levitate elephants on stage while juggling nuclear weapons and doing a Lady Gaga impersonation. Here's Boudreaux's intro to give yo

Huck Goodpasture: Damn Right the Earth is Flat, But I Ain't Talking!

Apr 03 2024 86 mins  
It took 111 episodes of TTT, but finally, I'm publishing a rant episode. What's it about? Scientists, philosophers, savants, and jugglers are still arguing about that, and may be doing so for many years. Well, it's distantly, about an Australian flat Earther whom I'm calling Huck Goodpasture. That's a great name, huh! We never get to the flat Earth part...at le

The SCP Foundation: Keeping the World Safe for Normality.

In episode 110 of the Trailer Trash Terrors podcast, I am joined by JJ Johnson, host of "Southern" Demonology, and briefly by Father Michael Birdsong, host of "Ending the Curse." We start off talking about the deeply interesting SCP foundation, move to the nature of language, people who base ther identities on fiction. Plus, in a world-first, Beelzebubba sings T
