Ep 64: F*** Colonialism in Jamaica

Strange & Unusual ·

2021/04/14

Strong words in the title of this one but hey. Also we totally failed on actually putting up the poll on Patreon so episode 64 will be all about bad bitches! In this episode however, Roya chats about Jamaica's first serial killer, Lewis Hutchinson. Casey covers Annie Palmer, a slave owner who may have dabbled in murder resulting in a possibly haunted estate. Once more, fuck colonialism.

Ep 62: Gettin' Jiggy with it in the UK

Strange & Unusual ·

2021/03/24

We venture across the pond to the UK where Casey talk about a potentitally scientifically explainable phenomenon, Wisps. While not exclusive to the UK, they do play a big part in their history and mythology. Roya talks about the story she thought she was going to talk about during the Werewolves episode, but turns out... not werewolves. They're just a incesteous killer cannibal cult... so... same difference? Either way, she's talking about Sawney Bean and the Bean Clan, arguably the worst family

Ep 58: Libya, It's Gonna Be a No From Me Dog.

Strange & Unusual ·

2021/02/24

While this episode may not be the longest, we take the listeners on an adventure in education in ancient Libya. It was hard for us to find stories in Libya that were not about the relatively recent civil war and the horrible things that happened before and during it and neither one of us wanted to talk about such a dark and serious subject without intentionally making the entire episode dark and serious. Also to set the record straight: Glass as an independent object (mostly as beads) dates back to
