| 0:00.0 | Before we begin with our show, I'd quickly like to recommend another show that I've really been |
| 0:04.8 | enjoying. It's called American hysteria, and it's a podcast that explores how fantastical thinking, |
| 0:10.5 | moral, panics, urban legends, and conspiracy theories have shaped our culture. The show has |
| 0:16.5 | covered the topics ranging from phantom clowns to satanic cults to mind control. I'm actually |
| 0:22.8 | currently writing an Amelia Ghost episode for season 5 part 3, so I was especially interested |
| 0:28.4 | in an episode about haunted dolls that featured a story about an online market where you can |
| 0:34.4 | buy yourself a soul trapped in the body of a doll. There's also a whole episode on haunted |
| 0:39.8 | attractions that were short Luke Dougal would absolutely love. Host Chelsea Weber Smith |
| 0:46.0 | takes you down strange American wormholes presenting forgotten oddities of history and popular |

| 1:31.6 | attacking the city, interviews with reformed supervillains, and advice on how to fix your |
| 1:36.8 | animal themed supercar. It's a parody of podcasting and a love letter to comics all in one. |
| 1:43.1 | These are the stories between the panels, what happens after the punching is done and the hero |
| 1:48.2 | flies away. I got to listen to an episode and love to dry wit and the affectionate lampooning |
| 1:54.3 | of NPR. Season 2 of Superhuman Public Radio is out now. You can find and listen to superhuman |
| 2:01.4 | public radio anywhere you listen to podcasts, or thanks to superhuman public radio for their |
| 2:06.0 | support, and you'll hear a trailer for the show after this episode. |
| 2:14.0 | Hello, it's Pip, welcoming you to a new episode of the Amelia Project. |
