The history and meaning of the creatures of the Harry Potter franchise. Where do hippogriffs come from? Mythology doesn’t really have Norwegian Ridgeback Dragons – but what did Norwegian dragons look like? Do basilisk legends get weirder than in the books? (Spoiler: They sure do!) And werewolves, and house elves, and more besides!
Two (shorter) Monster Sciences for the price of one! “The Monsters of the MIA” – a complete history of the mythological creatures depicted in the art of Minneapolis’ premier fine art museum! And “A World Full of Monsters” – the monsters of the films of Guillermo del Toro! Both shows that have only appeared at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, brought back to life to terrorize the living!
Opening entertainment by Kayla Sotebeer!

Thousands of minutes ago, a prophecy foretold that the many-headed hydra that is Reverend Matt’s Monster Science should grow a new head: A podcast. A podcast head. And so it has come to pass! Episode One! I talk about phoenixes! It’s about ten minutes long! Listen to it in the car! While exercising! In class! (If your teacher catches you, tell them what you’re listening to, and they will shake your hand!)
