About The Episode

Valentine's Day isn't just for people - coyotes are getting it on this time of year too. Meghan Crawford is a biologist with Mass Wildlife and talks us through coyote mating season. 

And then, don't step on cracks, don't break mirrors, don't let the evil eye notice your good fortune: today is Friday the 13th! Folklore and mythology scholar Kerry Noonan from Champlain College explores the cultural origins of Friday the 13th and what separates superstition from faith. (Bonus: Noonan played the role of Paula Mott in the Friday the 13th Part IV.)
