Welcome to Spirriths podcast, a boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda and I'm Julia. And this is episode 218, creepy pasta with Jenna Steber. I feel like I somehow missed out on the creepy pasta phase of the internet. Like, I think I was like on the borders of it, but I never got like solely into like, it's 2 a.m.

And I am reading creepy pastas on the internet.

But I was so glad to talk to Jenna about this because she is so much more of an expert on it than I am.

Well, actually, speaking of source material, I just watched my way through Loupin, the new

heist miniseries on Netflix, starring the breathtakingly gorgeous Omar's eye.

It is really interesting in that, like, I've talked before about how much I love adaptations

of media.

adaptation, but making it into something new. And this definitely fits the bill where the

Lupin, as you might pronounce it, if you are not making a self-conscious gesture at a French
