Über diesen Titel

Cursed...ish is a podcast about misfortune, mystery, and the stories we tell when bad luck stops feeling random.


Have you ever thought, “I don’t believe in curses… but I feel cursed”?


A project that keeps going wrong. A string of strange coincidences. A disaster that, in retrospect, feels almost inevitable. That’s when people start reaching for a bigger explanation. It’s not just bad luck, but something more sinister.


Hosted by Daniel Stevens and Angela Mattes, Cursed...ish explores stories in which misfortune is framed as more than mere happenstance: as something malevolent, approaching the macabre with curiosity, skepticism, and the occasional dark joke. From King Tut and the Dybbuk Box to the Avada Kedavra, and even your favorite four-letter word, each episode pulls apart the history, folklore, and media hysteria surrounding the human impulse to explain chaos.


Sometimes a curse is a supernatural claim. Sometimes it’s a metaphor. And sometimes it’s just what people tell themselves when the universe keeps kicking them in the teeth.


Welcome to Cursed...ish.

  • The Curse of King Tutankhamun: Part II - Ep. 9
    Apr 22 2026

    In Part II of Cursed...ish’s King Tutankhamun coverage, Daniel and Angela pick up where the tomb story turns ancient history to archaeology and legend. From Napoleon’s role in fueling Europe’s obsession with ancient Egypt to the Rosetta Stone, Howard Carter’s excavation, Lord Carnarvon’s mysterious death, and the media frenzy that helped create the so-called Pharaoh’s Curse, they trace how a buried king became one of history’s most famous supernatural stories. Along the way, they dig into protective funerary rituals, tabloid embellishments, supposed curse victims, mold and poison theories, and the uncomfortable question at the heart of the whole legend: was there ever really a curse at all, or was Tutankhamun the one who was truly wronged?

  • The Curse of King Tutankhamun: Part I - Ep. 8
    Apr 15 2026

    Before Tutankhamun became the most famous mummy in the world, he was a teenage pharaoh buried in secrecy beneath the sands of ancient Egypt. In Part 1 of this story, the Cursed...ish hosts trace the origins of the Curse of King Tut by exploring the world that created him: the religious beliefs of ancient Egypt, mummification, tomb protection, funerary rituals, and the supernatural fear of disturbing the dead. Along the way, we dig into the meaning of curses in ancient Egyptian culture, the ancient Egyptian afterlife, the weighing of the heart, protective spells, burial practices, and the history surrounding Tutankhamun himself. Before the tomb is opened and the modern legend begins, this episode lays the foundation for one of history’s most famous alleged curses surrounding a tomb that did not want to be opened.

  • The Kennedy Curse - Ep. 7
    Apr 8 2026

    In this episode of Cursed...ish, Angela Mattes and Daniel Stevens investigate one of America’s most infamous allegedly-hexed families: the Kennedys. From the death of Joseph Kennedy Jr. in World War II to the tragedies of Rosemary Kennedy, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, the scandal of Chappaquiddick, and the plane crash that killed JFK Jr., the Kennedy family story is packed with a staggering pattern of death, disaster, scandal, and political fallout. As the hosts trace the rise of America’s closest thing to a royal dynasty, they ask whether the so-called Kennedy curse is truly supernatural, or just what it looks like when power, trauma, and tragedy collide across generations.

    If you’re fascinated by American history, political dynasties, JFK conspiracy-adjacent lore, true crime, plane crashes, assassinations, and famous family tragedies, this episode dives deep into the dark legacy of the Kennedys with the skeptical, curious, macabre tone of Cursed...ish.
