Episode #166 – Professor Jay Smith
In our first hour’s “Free talk” segment where anything goes, we discussed how spontaneous human combustion has been offered as an official cause of death in Ireland, why the mantra “things happen for a reason” is totally not true, and we get into a discussion about a local church’s billboard which proclaims “Being Gay is NOT A Gift from God.” SFR gets political, y’all.

In the 2nd hour, we were joined by Professor Jay Smith, author of “Monsters of the Gevaudan: The Making of a Beast” which chronicles the grisly killings in 1760s France blamed on the legendary Beast of Gevaudan. Was it a pack of wolves? A Werewolf? Or something else sinister and supernatural? We learn that a lot of the mythology surrounding this story is not true…and that nearly everything we learned about the story from History Channel was wrong.
