#01 An Evil Man

The podcast explores the nature and origins of superstition through the lens of Endre, a man caught between his family's superstitious beliefs and a more rational worldview. Endre recounts how his father's intense superstitions, rooted in a family legend of escaping Hungary due to a chance encounter with a fan, shaped his upbringing and created a fear of "jinxing" good fortune. This tension is highlighted by Endre's experience with his YouTube series, "An Evil Man 666," which triggered his father's anxieties and led to a conflict between them. Despite his skepticism, Endre acknowledges that these superstitions serve as a connection to his deceased father and grandfather, representing a homage to their memory.
