Today's True Weird Stuff - The Fifth Commandment24 Have you done one of those DNA tests – like 23 & Me or AncestryDNA? It can be so much fun, learning that your ancestors come from places you’d never dreamed of.

Subproject 68

2023/06/16

Today's True Weird Stuff Episode - Subproject 68 Imagine going into a hospital for something minor…and finding yourself restrained. Injected with paralyzing drugs, zapped with massive amounts of electro-shock treatments, and placed in a medical coma for weeks and sometimes months on end. A blacked-out helmet strapped to your head; a voice droning on and on into your ears for up to 20 hours a day. At the end of it, you may not remember your own name – and you never consented to any of it. Welcome

Time Travel

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/06/09

Today's True Weird - Time Travel Time. We always seem to be giving it, taking it, and running out of it. We always, always want more of it. And we dream of being able to control it. We dream of machines that would let us skip through time as easily as we move through space, in our cars, trains, and planes. What if time travel was possible? There are people who claim THEY are time travelers…do you believe it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Load of Bull

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/05/19

Cattle mutilation stories are all weird. And all sound kind of similar, don’t they? There’s the dead animal, missing various body parts – with no blood or tracks or footprints or evidence of any kind. Something is happening to these animals. Something we can’t explain. 50+ years, 10,000+ cattle…that’s no load of bull. So, what is it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023/05/12

Today's True Weird Stuff - Bloody Benders You’re heading west, with big dreams of staking your claim to one of those parcels of land promised in the Homestead Act. Word has it there’s a family up the road yonder that takes in travelers. Nothing fancy, just a simple cabin over in Labette County. They say the daughter talks to the dead, but you know how folks like to gossip about their neighbors. Just go on up the road a ways – and ask for the Benders’ place. And then, hope to God you make it

Corpse Medicine

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/04/21

Medicine has come a very long way since the early days of bloodletting and leeches. But once upon a time, human beings trusted a very different kind of cure…the kind that doesn’t come from a fancy laboratory or a big chain drugstore. Some of our ancestors opened wide and swallowed the stuff of nightmares: blood. Bone. Human flesh. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beware of the Bunny

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/04/07

Who doesn’t love a bunny rabbit? Especially the ones that tote baskets of candy. But rabbits are so much more than the cotton-tailed critters of fairy tales and cartoons.

That's A Bigfoot!

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/03/24

Today's True Weird Stuff - That's A Bigfoot! Vast, seemingly empty landscapes…not a road, not a house, not a cell tower in sight.

Take My (Fairy) Wife Please

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/03/17

We head to the Emerald Isle for a St. Patrick’s Day tale of marriage and murder, fairies, and folklore. It’s a story that changed Irish law and, 100 years later, still reeks of mystery, magic, and the unmistakable stench of burning flesh. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bite Me

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/03/10

Witches, serial killers, and Paul Revere all team up in a story of why a very standard kind of courtroom evidence that could help condemn you to prison might actually be total garbage. Oops! So much for taking a bite out of crime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mommy & Me Bodysnatchers

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/03/03

Owning a small business can be super tough. Sometimes you have to get creative just to make ends meet. Maybe that’s why a mother/daughter funeral business got into the illegal body parts game. Gruesome – but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

True Space Cowboys

True Weird Stuff ·

2023/02/24

The 90’s amirite? While the world was fixated on a certain blue dress, a couple of humans were bolted by their boots to the outside of the space shuttle, zooming around the planet at more than 17,000 mph, trying to capture a rogue satellite with their hands. Because the company wanted to save some money. Oh my GOD.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
