Learning Things. Making Things Up. Forgetting Which Is Which.
Jarod K. Anderson is a writer, podcaster, scholar, cryptonaturalist, adventurer, and collector of obscure knowledge. His work can be found in places like Asimov's, Daily Science Fiction, Escape Pod, and in the bylaws of secret societies far too secret to mention here. He lives in Ohio with an unspecified number of dogs greater than two and fewer than sixty.

The Cryptonaturalist is a bi-weekly podcast that seeks out the strangest parts of the wilderness, flips over rocks and rotten logs, and scoops up a handful of the squirming mysteries hiding there and delivers them directly into your ears with an added helping of poetry and folksy wisdom. Weird tales and cryptid fun awaits.
News Goblins is my weekly podcast featuring all the news that fit for nerds and goblins. My super-smart wife Leslie is my cohost.
