S3 Episode 4: Goofy, Wacky, Mermaid History Across the Globe

Yo, Listener! Contrary to Big-Brain Terren's explanation, we did in fact record the entire episode from his dusty old laptop's microphone. Bear with us, for we are but humble podcasters in a TikTok world. Am I allowed to mention TikTok in this? I dunno.

This episode is all about the more recent histories of mermaid sightings, from Christopher Columbus to the Minister of Water in Zimbabwe! Are they mermaids? Sea cows? Manatees? What the hell is the difference? Find out and more in this episode of Lore of the Folks!

Despite an outward persona of the seasoned man of the west you see before you, Terren Coffey might be the furthest thing from that idyllic archetype one could imagine. Currently studying cinematography and film production, Terren is equal parts a student of cinema and obscure fictional universe lore that could never be applied to the real world. He thought there was no better time to start a brand new podcast than the end of the world, so he quit his warehouse job to make the most of the apocalypse and started a pop culture show with his friend Isaac. We hope you enjoy what the boys have to offer to the never ending discussion of entertainment, and have as rootin tootin a time listening as we do creating!
