Episode 13 – XIII




BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast show

Summary: In this episode, Chris and Cody discuss the most taboo of all numbers: 13. Chris delves into the origins of triskaidekaphobia (pronounced “Aeijdklj#$@#$kjoei”), or fear of the number 13. He shares the story of a composer so afraid of the number, he does some really stupid things. Cody discusses the sexist origins of triskaidekaphobia and tries to recreate a period. He also talks about the world’s unluckiest murder, committed on Friday the 13th. BS Weekly explores Cody’s (maybe) great-great-great-great-great uncle, Richard Wagner, and his many many many experiences with the number 13. This week’s drinks of choice are 805 Blonde Ale, The Supper Club Chardonnay, and Barefoot Pink Moscato.<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&amp;refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&amp;isi=691797987&amp;ius=googleplaymusic&amp;link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0-15s<br> Intro.
