Description

Deborah Hyde is a Folklorist, Skeptic and Cultural Anthropologist who specialises in the Supernatural, Paranormal, and Cryptozoology. deborahhyde.com
"The big difference between Religion and Superstition is Politics". 
Today, Deborah discusses why it is that people believe in weird stuff, and how in certain places throughout history the ideas of vampirism, witchcraft or fairies were commonplace beliefs. Not only that, Deborah and Konner discuss the reasons why we even have a distinction between the superstitious and religion, when once upon a time, these ideas were much more blended. Lastly, Deborah chats about Skepticism as a whole and the associated charlatans and conspiracies, ranging from sunning your anus to healers who claim to be able to cure cancer sufferers.
