About this episode

The episode discusses various superstitions and their origins, exploring how normal human behavior can be interpreted as summoning evil spirits.

Here at Cash Exchange we're not superstitious but we are ... a little stitious. Do I think something bad is going to happen because I spilled salt? Probably not, but I still always follow it by tossing a little over my left shoulder. Maybe it's protection from the devil or maybe I want to ward off the real evil, snails. Today we're talking superstitions and spoiler alert: a surprising amount of origin stories are just normal human behavior that summons evil spirits. We're basically walking Ouija boards. Edit for you wonderful nerds who read podcast descriptions and those eager to break out the "well actually" - seventeen in roman numerals is XVII. Rearranged it spells VIXI which is bad luck. If you rearrange roman numerals is that dyslexia or discalculia? Enjoy!-S
