    The Red-Eyed Omen: The Story of Mothman

    A winged creature with glowing red eyes haunting the skies of Point Pleasant, West Virginia… Was it a cryptid, a government experiment, or a harbinger of doom? In this episode of Low Expectations, we explore the chilling legend of the Mothman. From the first terrifying sightings in 1966 to the tragic Silver Bridge collapse, we dig into eyewitness accounts, paranormal theories, and the lasting mystery that made Mothman one of the most infamous cryptids in American folklore.

    Whether you believe he’s an omen of disaster or just a creature of myth, one thing is certain—once you see those red eyes in the dark, you’ll never forget them.

  • Blood and Salt: Joan of Flanders & the Lioness of Brittany
    Aug 20 2025

    In this episode of Low Expectations, we dive into the untold stories of two of medieval Europe’s fiercest women: Joan of Flanders, the indomitable Duchess who defended Hennebont with fire and steel, and Jeanne de Clisson, the infamous Lioness of Brittany who turned pirate queen after her husband’s execution. Both widows, both warriors, and both driven by vengeance, these women carved their names into history through defiance, bloodshed, and unrelenting survival.

    From castle sieges to pirate raids on the English Channel, we unravel how Joan of Flanders and the Lioness of Brittany defied kings, waged private wars, and became living legends of resistance. Their stories blend political intrigue, betrayal, and revenge — a medieval saga of widowhood turned into warfare.

    If you love tales of rebellion, forgotten heroines, and the darker side of history, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
