Cryptids of the Corn
Two Ohio buddies apply a mix of biological science and speculative wonder to cryptids, paranormal events, and other strange phenomena.
A conversational podcast where two friends explore the unexplained, from classic cryptids like Bigfoot to bizarre local legends and biological oddities. One host brings a scientific, biological perspective to ground the conversation, while the other explores the conspiratorial and speculative angles. Episodes range from deep dives on a single creature or event to more casual, live-streamed 'Cryptids and Coffee' chats and the recurring 'Freaky Fauna Friday' segment that focuses on real, strange animals.
“The show's key differentiator is the host dynamic, explicitly pairing a biological science background with a conspiracy-minded approach. Unlike purely narrative or credulous podcasts, they actively debate and analyze topics from both a scientific and a speculative viewpoint, aiming to let the listener form their own conclusions.”
Who hosts this show
Hosted by Ohio natives Justin "Mr. E" England and Jay "The Clone" Wolber, Cryptids of the Corn is a podcast where "scientific and magical thinking combine". Mr. E leverages his background in biology while Jay draws on his interest in uncovering conspiracies to investigate cryptozoology, UFOs, and paranormal topics. They focus primarily on the American Midwest and Appalachia but cover strange phenomena from around the world.
