Strange & Unusual

So… We didn’t realize this was going to be a two parter, but when Roya got to the end of the episode only to find that John Michael Baker escaped. How do you think she felt? Betrayed. Bewildered. (remember, we’re a movie podcast too and 10 points to you if you get the reference).  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unu...

Who doesn’t love some updates to cases we’ve talked to for months worth of episodes at this point? Well, now we’re into some new wild happenings with Lori Vallow and this time guys… she’s representing herself. It’s going to be an absolutely wild ride. This episode is primarily Casey getting us all up to speed on where Lori’s new trial stands, what happened up to this point and when it’s going to s...

When it twists, it turns. It also might turn your stomach. We hope you enjoy this episode about the death of Shannon Roberts and please look forward to a small addendum next week because boy… some shit evidently went down.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky: @strangeunusualpod.bsky.social Twitt...

You all wanted it, so you all got it. Come on a journey of a lifetime criminal. He scammed and conned all across the world and sold at least one wonder of the world… twice. His name was Victor Lustig, or was it?

What happened to Gloria? A lot… allegedly. We know she had cancer and we know she died, but it’s the in between that’s left a big mystery. Was she really the problem? Was it all an elaborate cover up? Was it negligence? Maybe a little of everything? Maybe none of somethings. Who knows? Not us and not anyone else for that matter.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/st...

A story of a woman you’ve probably never heard of, but by the end of the episode, I bet you’re rooting for her. Good for her, we say.

Who knew that Dr. Suess was inspired by the Puritans when he wrote The Grinch? Well, we don’t know that he was, but we also don’t know that he wasn’t. So we’ll just pretend together. It’s a war on Christmas, but it didn’t really work out how the Puritans wanted it to.

Have you ever participated in something absurd because it would be a hilarious story? This is exactly the situation Harry Price found himself in after he received a letter from the Isle of Man talking about a house that was occupied by a family of 3 and one surprising, furry, talking little guest.

Fast fashion? No thanks. Please enjoy this episode where Casey talks about the original male enhancement clothing product, codpieces. Where did they come from? How did they get so popular? Did they have actual practical benefits? Do you also wish men would bedazzle their dick sacks? Make Codpieces Great Again.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow...

What happens when a man is left disillusioned by both of the political powers in his life? Does he sit idle and wonder about who will help him? Maybe. Or… could he possibly become a very successful and extremely important double agent that also managed to grift Nazi Germany out of hundreds of thousands of dollars? Listen and find out.

Today Casey’s gonna talk about an Inuit baddie named Ada Blackjack and how she, and the expedition cat, survived a doomed expedition to an incredible island that belongs to the UK. No, Japan? Um, America? No, Russia. Definitely Russia.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Twitter: @_strangeunusual Facebo...

You weren’t getting rid of us that easy. We had a busy couple of weeks and some surprise power outages that delayed the episode but we’re back with an episode to distract you for a little bit from the election stuff this week. Who doesn’t love a poltergeist? Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Twitter: @...

Have you ever felt so fragile you might shatter like glass? Have you ever considered what you might think if you didn’t really know what glass was? Or even know that it COULD shatter into a million sharp shiny pieces? In an era that brought you heart attacks because you saw a weird duck, people were very susceptible to mania and anxieties. Some might say just as often as the modern era. Email us a...

Sorry this is a week late guys. Between Casey getting sick and Roya struggling with her ears, we both had a hell of a week to say the least and the episode completely slipped our minds. But we’re back baby and here with a story from the Harry Price archives that we’re pretty sure inspired Good Omens… at least a little.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusu...

We talk about pop culture and why we sometimes feel like we need to know what happens in a series even if we don’t care about that series at all. But, the real meat of the story is about Elenore Zugun, or The Poltergeist Girl. What would you do if you had the powers of Matilda? Caveats? You can’t control it and your village thinks you’re possessed by the devil to the point that it might have given...

The Real Life Nacho Libre. Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez is possibly more myth than man with a story that never gets told the same way twice,a t least when he’s the one that tells you. Clawing his way away from addiction to priesthood to becoming a luchador to supporting an orphanage to possibly telling the Catholic church where to stick it. Regardless of how much is true to his own telling of his stor...

Here we come with Part 2 of Harry Price and a less boring set of seances. Stella was just an average woman in London, starting a job, looking for a partner, and sometimes causing bright lights to manifest around her when she got scared. This episode follows her ups and downs in her early psychic mediumship that she really didn’t care about, which made it all the more impressive. Email us at: Stran...

What caused meat to rain down from the sky as if it was a metal song? What kind of meat was it? Why will men taste or smell disgusting things because others do? None of these questions are answered in this episode, but stick around as we speculate wildly about what it could have been.

Well, not off to as big of a blast as originally anticipated. Injured legs, dancing handkerchiefs, homoeroticism(?), and a good pilsner make this seance almost bearable. Roya begins her coverage of Harry Price, the first Ghostbuster.  Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Twitter: @_strangeunusual Facebook...

We have finally reached the conclusion of the Chad Daybell trial. We talk victim impact statements, sentencing and more wild speculation. Please be kind about Casey losing her voice toward the end, she was very eepy and this case was draining. Don’t worry though, you won’t have to wait long for the next mini series to start, this time, from Roya! Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreo...

An episode chosen by the patreon that’s about demons just wouldn’t be an episode about demons if we didn’t dunk on Ed and Lorraine Warren. After the Conjuring House and Amityville, there was a case in Connecticut involving a family and a young boy who was reportedly possessed by several demons. One of those demons went rogue and helped a young man commit a terrible crime… allegedly.  Email us at:...

We’re getting there guys! We see the light at the end of the tunnel! This episode is an important one with lots of new information as Garth and Emma Daybell take the stand and are definitely… super not lying… Not at all. That would be wrong. Almost as wrong as killing your wife and two kids. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @...

Not quite the thrilling conclusion yet, but the penultimate episode of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell Trial. This one definitely had a twist that Roya was not expecting and next week we get into what we’re all excited for: Chad’s kids on the stand.

We are family. I got all my sisters with me! Happy Pride! We are taking a break from the Chad Daybell case to bring something different to the table. Pick up your flags and tip your drag queens because we’re talking about two gay icons: Marsha P Johnson and The Stonewall Inn in honor of pride month! As promised here are some links to trans charities and organizations helping the trans community in...
