Spotify "Rituals": New Podcast Explores The Supernatural

Supernatural, the TV show, ran on the CW network for a record 15 years and 269 episodes. Clearly, viewers could not get enough of the Winchester Brothers and their ongoing  battle with all things supernatural. 

Now, there's a podcast that looks into the crypt of the creepy. Now I can finally find out if vampires are real. (they are!)

 Parcast, a Spotify Studio, premiered their latest new series Rituals, a new podcast exclusively on Spotify. Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz, hosts of the popular podcast And That’s Why We Drink, join Parcast’s growing slate of enthusiastic talent driving true crime and mystery conversations.

Every Monday, hosts Christine Schiefer & Em Schulz will take listeners through a tour of the dark arts, separating fact from fiction, exploring the events and individuals who sought to bridge the gap between our world and realms beyond. With Em growing up in a small, haunted Virginia town and Christine attempting late-night séances, the hosts developed an affinity for mystery and paranormal activity from a young age.

Rituals will be the ultimate occult variety show, evaluating historical and contemporary stories involving witchcraft, sorcery, alchemy, satanism, spiritualism, and more. If you've ever wondered if love potions exist, bathed in healing waters, or shuffled a tarot deck, this show is for you. This season will cover intriguing stories, and for fans of Harry Potter and Fullmetal Alchemist, this includes digging into the mysterious life of alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who was rumored to have created a real Philosopher’s Stone that could turn metal into gold and grant immortality. 

 In the first episode, Em Schulz and Christine Schiefer discuss weather witches and how the idea of them originated as those who were believed to control natural elements and the weather with spells and rituals. They dive into the stormy history of weather witches who endured trials and executions, yet still continue to inspire cultural elements today.


Christine Schiefer and Em Schulz are the co-creators and co-hosts of the award-winning comedy podcast, “And That’s Why We Drink,” where the paranormal and true-crime finally meet. Launched in February 2017, each new episode is a deep dive into whatever paranormal and true-crime stories the friends are obsessing over that week. 

With over 130 million lifetime downloads, “And That’s Why We Drink” is consistently in the top 20 on the comedy podcast charts, and winner of the 2019 “People’s Voice” Webby Award for Best Comedy Podcast.

Listen to the show, but whatever you do, do not say Bloody Mary more than once. 

PLEASE.
