Episode 79 Sources: Um, Yes Hello – It’s Spooky Lakes with Geo Rutherford

For this episode, Meagan is joined by Geo Rutherford, an artist, author, and amateur limnologist, who is well known for her Spooky Lakes video series that takes place each October on TikTok and Instagram. We talk about what inspired Geo to become the internet’s Lady of the Lakes, and take a dive into the haunted hydrology of three of the world’s spookiest bodies of water. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and more.
