Scared All The Time is a hilariously terrifying podcast about the fears, mysteries, and strange phenomena that keep the world up at night. From alien abductions and haunted places to serial killers, urban legends, bizarre science, and real-life horror stories, no fear is off-limits — and no one is safe. Hosted by Ed Voccola (Rick and Morty, Bless The Harts) and Chris Cullari (Blumhouse, The Aviary), SATT digs deep into the scary, the strange, and the unexplained with humor, heart, and an unhealthy amount of research.

Forget Splash. Forget the Starbucks logo. This week, Chris and Ed dive into the terrifying pre-Disney history of mermaids, from Greek sirens and Japanese ningyo to Mami Wata, Sedna, Christopher Columbus’s “sightings,” P.T. Barnum’s infamous Feejee Mermaid, and the fake Animal Planet documentary that got so convincing the U.S. government had to officially say: no, mermaids are not real.
