In episode 3, the bear that attacks the New Year's party is hinted to have had contact with humans before, and it's the kids resolving the incident that lets their parents okay the Final. Family Theme Naming: Shane "Woodsley" O'Connor has four brothers named Shannon, Seamus, Sean, and Shanley. Empty Bedroom Grieving: Peregrine makes references to going into her dead brother Jacob's room and being sad to find it empty. Don't Go in the Woods: The woods are vast, deep, and easy to get lost in on good days, and when coupled with snowstorms, this results in Jacob's death. Death Seeker: It's implied Howl agreed to the Final to die on his own terms after spending his life running from everyone he was ever close to. Death by Irony: Howl, the one who trained Peregrine and her friends to survive, ends up (apparently) dying when he's unable to make it back alive. Episode 4 delves into his childhood as part of a family of war profiteers and his murder, by inaction, of people working at a chemical plant. Dark and Troubled Past: Howl has a twofer, with episode 2 going into his sordid past with Gerda, a war photographer, and his time in the Marines. Howl's influence drives her to embrace her grief instead and come up with the plan for The Final, which puts her and everyone in danger before it even begins when one of her friends injures himself during training. The Corrupter: After Jacob's death, Peregrine initially spends time processing her trauma and grief, as do her friends. Chekhov's Classroom: While Lexy stops going to survival training after John Francis breaks his wrist, she takes what she learned to heart and uses examples of dead reckoning and other things Howl taught to make a case for sending a search-and-rescue team in the final episode when the adults assume the kids would be fine. The Cavalry: When a snowstorm hits during the Final, Lexy and John Francis mobilize a rescue team to save Peregrine and Shane. Both Sides Have a Point: While the teenagers of Whitetail have a point about their elders overprotecting them, the adults have a point in that there are things their children can't handle. Big Brother Instinct: The first version of "Come And Find Me" is about how Jacob promised to be there for Peregrine if she was ever hurt or down. Peregrine successfully driving it off is what convinces her mother to let her do the Final. Bears Are Bad News: A bear visits the site of the annual Turkey Drop on New Year's Eve, threatening a neighbor's dog and the guests. It's then played with in episode 5, as while the teenage Lexy and John Francis rally everyone to save Peregrine and Shane when everyone else is initially sure they'll be fine, the teamwork of the whole community, including the adults, helps them get home alive.

Adults Are Useless: This is discussed throughout the series as the teens of Whitetail take this viewpoint about their elders, leading them to train with Howl to learn survival skills. Accomplice by Inaction: Brett realizes that by keeping information to himself he helped endanger the teens of Whitetail, and at the very least did nothing to stop the feuding. Abusive Parents: Howl's father was emotionally and physically abusive to him, and he grew up in a house without love. In 2022, In Strange Woods was nominated for Best Fiction Podcast at the iHeart Radio Podcast Awards. The podcast can be listened to here, and transcripts of the audio can be read here. But Howl has his secrets and the town has its feuds, and the more investigative journalist Brett Ryback (Brett Ryback) learns, the more concerning the already-dangerous plan becomes. Wanting to both do something in her brother's memory and ensure nothing like his death can happen again, Peregrine ropes her friends into weeks of harsh survival training which will culminate in "The Final"-an exercise where they'll enter the woods themselves and attempt to make their way home with nothing but the skills they've learned. At Peregrine's insistence, he takes her under his wing and teaches her what he knows. His body is later discovered by an enigmatic recluse named Peter "Howl" Howland ( Patrick Page), who knows quite a bit about surviving in harsh conditions. 
Telling the tale of an eventful two years in Whitetail, Minnesota, the story focuses on Peregrine Wells (Lily Mae Harrington), a teenager who finds her life upended when her brother Jacob vanishes in the woods during a party. In Strange Woods is a 2021 musical podcast by Atypical Artists that tells a fictional story in a true-crime documentary style.
