About I Got Stuck!: A Catalog of Temporary Obsessions
"I Got Stuck!: A Catalog of Temporary Obsessions," with me, Dr. Kelly Reidy, is a podcast wherein each week, I’ll give you a full report on the latest topic that’s kept me up at night. Things that have led to countless hours of procrastination through googling, asking Jeeves, and navigating the twistiest and turniest of internet rabbit holes (and by the way, rabbit holes are technically called “warrens” and they can be so elaborate that they have their own traffic circles!).
The Mary Celeste is arguably the most famous ghost ship of all time, and the ultimate unsolved nautical mystery. But what does "ghost ship" even mean?! And just how many different types of waterspouts even are there?! Tune in for my theories on ghost ships, other people's theories on The Mary Celeste, and a chilling Brooklyn Eagle newspaper excerpt from 1902. Also, I have a Patreon now!
