*A note of warning: the topic I discuss this week, which involves acts of cannibalism and euthanasia, and may not be suitable for listeners younger than 13.

Wendigos have been here for longer than most immigrants, so why aren’t they better known? Popular in comic books, video games, and tv shows, the origin of these creatures hit a little closer to reality than you might like. Join me as I delve into the history and psychology of the Wendigo.
