Strange & Unusual

5 years. 246 episodes. 36 pages of show notes. Countless pages of notes for episodes. 2 best friends Like all good things, this pod too must end. At least for now. After 245 episodes, Roya and Casey need a break. What will happen after that break is over, only time will tell. Thank you all for joining us whether you’re a new listener or a long term one, we appreciate you. Thanks for your time, car...

Do you know who you’re married to? What if you thought you did, but in reality you had no idea and that person was almost the opposite of who you thought they were? Well, that turned out to be the case for Barbara Bentley.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitt...

So guys, I’m not gonna lie, I raw-dogged this episode. There’s some rough content at the end where Casey and I talk about the death of family members as well as the death of pets and animals in general and we didn’t exactly put a trigger warning on it because we didn’t expect to have emotions happen. Also I cried so… sorry not sorry. Anyway, Casey talks about the French morgues and the creative wa...

An incredible woman who would have risen through the ranks of the political sphere had she just not been disabled and a woman. Virginia Hall was a woman who led an interesting, tumultuous and dangerous life in the name of what she thought was right and what she was passionate about. Like I said, one hell of an Aries.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual...

It might surprise you to find out what was amongst the most dangerous jobs in the industrial revolution.

A man made lake over a lot of man made problems. Specifically problems made by white men. From the forced removal of the indigenous Cherokee to the expulsion of all the Black citizens, there are possibly a ton of very angry ghosts underneath 160 feet of water. Also maybe a ghost stick?

So… from one sneaky sausage to another… kinda? This isn’t the roughest we’ve had but it’s up there.

Casey’s keeping it super casual with this episode about a little muggie. I mean mummy. Is she real? Is she a fake? If she’s a fake is she at least a good fake? Tune in to find out.

It’s over. Finally… for now. Casey takes everyone through the final hours of the trial and hopefully we’re done with long arching episodes about the Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell situations.  At least until appeals happen… Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitter: @_...

You’ve heard about ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’, now listen to ‘I Know What You Did for the Last Fifteen Summers’. Give or take. When a small town is plagued by strange letters that seem to know far too much for comfort, the community is left with the confusion and the rumors caused by them.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG...

Who is in a wheelchair because she is very sick and also being escorted out of the court room for being too courteous? You guessed it. Our favorite reincarnation of Nephi, Lori Vallow.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitter: @_strangeunusual Facebook: The Str...

Do you know who you’re married to? Does your loved one have a history of traumatic brain injuries? You… might not want to listen to this episode. Or maybe you should listen to this episode and perhaps find help for yourself.

The wrap up of possibly the stupidest trial we’ve covered on the podcast. How was so much said and so little understood by Lori? The world may never know and we certainly hope that we never understand her.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitter: @_strangeunus...

Well, well well, Lori’s back and she’s still dumb. More of her case and we can share together in the progressive frustration felt from the prosecutors, judge and even witnesses while having to deal with Lori Vallow.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitter: @_s...

We’re baaaaaaack baby! New state, new trial, same Lori Vallow and this time? She’s representing herself at this trial. What could possibly go wrong? Spoiler alert: a lot. But it’s honestly… kind of funny. Like not funny that someone died but damn. She is not a smart woman.

Eric’s life took a sudden left turn when his mother leaned down to his ear and asked if he thought it would be better if his dad was dead. We’re not saying Paul Witte was a saint, but we are saying that isn’t a fair question to ask an 8 year old.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunus...

Just when we thought it was going to be a sweet episode about librarians, the wee-woos dropped nazis and Japanese internment camps. Don’t worry though, they’re not the focus of the episode. It’s a good wholesome time about women teaching people how to read Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @st...

It wasn’t even close and now you all have to admit it too, we’re all sick individuals who enjoy cults. This one’s not as bad as it could have been, but it’s certainly not a happy fun times cult either. Jeffery Lundgren was not a good man, he was not a safe man and he never should have had access to so many people.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Fo...

This one’ll throw you on some loops! You think Casey’s going to zig and she zags as she talks about the tumultuous and painful life of Marianne Bachmeier and how she turned into quite the polarizing figure in German in the 1980s.
