The History of Weird

Society EN ↓ 25 episodes

I'm weirder than you - and I can prove it. I have a fascination with everything! My diversity of interests and fascination with the unique, strange, and odd manifested itself early on. Growing up in Northern Virginia in the early 1960’s and 70’s, my parents quickly settled on my family nickname, ‘Old Weird John’. My eclectic interests have grown over the years. I’m a sportsfan, a cyclist, a homebrewer, a chef, a horror buff, a website creator, a musician, a husband, a father, a beekeeper, a gardener, a US Marine, & recent 'retiree'. These are my random weird thoughts - enjoy them, or not!
