I feel like we're talking more about fears of being traffic than fears of being murdered and it's like what happened to being murdered.

Welcome to Irang about the show where I will take any excuse to read to you for a while.

You're wrong about the show that is gradually becoming an audiobook.

Yes. That's my goal. Yeah. That's one of my insidious plans. I am Michael Hobbs. I am a reporter for The Having and Post.

I'm Sarah Marshall. I'm working on a book about the satanic panic. And if you want to support the show, we're on Patreon at patreon.com slash your wrong about.

And we have a slight announcement this week. Yes. I have another podcast. I have a sister podcast.

You have a child. It's basically your wrong about for fitness and health myths. And it's me and one of my favorite internet people, your fat friend, who many of you are probably already following on Twitter and Instagram.

She is delightful. And the show is called Maintenance Phase. And you can find it wherever podcasts live.

I think that we should start a podcast distribution platform called Wherever. Because then you get free advertising on every other podcast.

I'm so excited about this show. I feel like this is kind of a long term obsession of yours. Yes.

And like this is a side plant that grew off of some of the research that you did initially as part of this show and that wanted to have a light of its own like a strawberry.

So we've already released our first kind of like an intro episode of sort of who we are, where we're at. And then every week we're going to bust a health myth.

We're going to talk about the Atkins diet. We're going to talk about Fenthan. We're going to talk about Moonju. These sort of like smoothies that are being distributed through the Gwyneth Paltrowverse.

Yeah. So our first episode is on the President's Physical Fitness Test. And it comes out this week.

Stay tuned for not very much time. Don't worry. Yes. You'll be getting a surprise soon. But what are we talking about today?

We are talking about a completely different thing. The Creepy Encounters subreddit, which I have become fascinated by. And we originally recorded this as a bonus episode for our patrons.

And then basically we had another episode that I was working on that we were supposed to put out this week. And I was really unhappy with it. And it just wasn't good yet.

So we're giving you the fun one. We hope you want the fun one. If you don't want the fun one, then I don't know what to tell you.

Yes. And Mike, we should talk about what Reddit is for just a second. And like, why did I start frantically texting you all these things to the point where we decided we had to talk about them?

So I'm actually not a big Reddit guy. But my understanding is that Reddit is there's groups according to interest. So there's like an American doll group. And there's a like I live in Wisconsin group.

And people post either links that they like or like descriptions of like something funny happened to me today at the bank. So they're all just sort of like random people posting things. And then other people can upvote them and comment them and sort of have a discussion about them. That's how that's my understanding of how Reddit works.

Yeah. And within Reddit you have subreddits that can get unbelievably specific. And it also feels to me like a place where people kind of go to like observe other human behavior and submit their own human behaviors.
