Astonishing Legends is a podcast about all things paranormal, supernatural, and (as the name implies) legendary entities and goings-on. The podcast is hosted by Forrest Burgess and Scott Philbrook, with the help of their massive and devoted research team (called the ARC, or Astonishing Research Corps) led by Tess Pfeifle, and behind-the-mics staff. Scott and Forrest dive deep into each topic and make a point of emphasizing the human elements of each story, not just the cool supernatural parts.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The average episode runs about two hours in length, and stories often span multiple episodes until the team feels they have examined the topic to their satisfaction. The first section of each episode/story usually details the backstory of the topic, transitioning to a very thorough description and retelling of the event, and ends with Scott and Forrest discussing various theories to explain the given topic, then deciding which ones they find more likely.Astonishing Legends can be found on most podcasting services, or on their website here: [1]

Agent Mulder: Both Scott and Forrest, by nature of the show, though this better applies to Forrest. Scott tends to espouse the more fantastic/paranormal views, while Forrest favors conspiracy theories/Clarke's Third Law.

Agent Scully: Again, both of the hosts! Scott and Forrest both express doubt and skepticism at various theories and ideas, if just to play Devil's Advocate and examine possible holes in theories.

The Dead Have Names: Serious Business for the hosts. All people who die or are harmed in each story have their names and a bit of their personalities and lives described. Notably, in the Dyatlov Pass story, Scott lists all ten of the people involved and gives brief introductions of each person to emphasize that they were people. Scott can be heard getting choked up while talking in this section.
