Looking cool turns into a hot mess.

What is the price of looking like an absolute legend? We'll look at two Odd News examples and let you decide if the cost is worth it. 

Facing "Social Insecurity" head-on.

This episode of "Odd News Times Twos" gives you a double dose of perception versus reality. First, an evening out in Malaysia turns tense when an intimidating stranger starts causing trouble. Then, in a quick detour to Russia, we uncover a destructive viral craze where people intentionally ruin expensive personal belongings just to appear rugged. It’s a comedy of errors exploring the weird things folks do to feel like heroes. Together, these stories prove that social insecurity can make anyone do something ridiculous.

Listen now, before the damage is done.

Local charm comes in many forms.

What happens when a small town gets a little too popular for its own good? Today we look at how locations on two continents deal with their unique forms of fame. 

Finding "No Signs Of Tussle".

This time around, comedy4cast jumps into the August Dog Days of Podcasting challenge with a fresh installment of "Odd News Times Twos." First, we journey to a scenic English region where postcard-perfect views are under siege by everyday domestic habits. Then, a quick hop finds us in the Texas countryside. Here we're introduced to a tiny community dealing with an identity crisis of its own. One that kepts disappearing! Both stories explore the funny, stubborn lengths locals will go to when outside attention disrupts everyday life. You'll quickly see why "No Signs Of Tussle" is the only fitting way to describe this pair of quirky clashes.

Don't Pass This By.

Grab your headphones and give "No Signs Of Tussle" a listen. It's odd news that may change the way you look at the price of popularity.

Squeezing every drop out of the future.

What does it really take to stretch our energy further than anyone thought possible? The answer might involve diving into unfamiliar waters and rethinking everything you know about hitting the road.

Powering Up with "Extreme Green"

This installment of "Odd News Times Twos" is packed with big ideas and tiny details. We'll visit a Indianapolis to witness a completely different kind of high-stakes race where speed takes a backseat to efficiency. Then, after an unintentional dip in a local pond, we explore how some familiar plantlife might just solve our heaviest transport headaches. As both stories unfold, you’ll discover that thinking outside the box requires some seriously strange problem-solving. It’s a pair of wildly inventive tales that prove "Extreme Green" is anything but ordinary. In fact, it can be downright odd.
