Poddities

Book club! Join us this week as we discuss our first book club book, 10 Days In A Madhouse, by Nellie Bly. Then we'll take a quick dive into the history of the island and institution from the book, and talk about how American Horror Story took inspiration from the story to create their own. 

Welcome back! This Friday we're telling the tale of the untouchable Phineas Gage, the cranium craze of Phrenology, and a train to the City of the Dead.

Happy 2020, friends! it's amazing to be living exactly 100 years from one of the most influential decades in our country. We've decided to celebrate all year long, bringing you a Roaring 20's themed episode approximately every other month. Today's episode, no. 15, is part 1.

And while, yes, the title of the episode includes "syphilis", the actual discussion of the STI has been saved for February 14th's episode.

Belated birthday episode! This week's episode is a bit of a sneak peak into what makes the Chicago World's Fair so interesting to learn about. We'll tell you more about it, including details on book club starting 2020 but you'll have to listen 😉

Happy Friday the 13th! We put together a special, random select of 13th odd people, places, and things that didn't make it into an episode of its own. Camel humps, the Disgusting Food Museum, pink butter and cannibalistic bun buns are just some of the things you'll hear today. 

This is episode 2/2 released on Friday, December 13th. 

Welcome back for ep. 12! This week we talk about the history of wishing wells, the dark history of nursery rhymes and we visit an island that is straight out of some people's nightmares. 

This is episode 1/2 being released on Friday, December 13th.

Join us this week as we talk about the doctors that inspired the hit TV show MASH, the origin of the Heimlich maneuver and the story of the Drowned Mona Lisa.

Poddities hits the double digits this week! Join us for episode 10 as we talk about the Bermuda Triangle, the Michigan Triangle, and the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Oooooh.

It's Friday and that means it's time for a new episode of Poddities! Join us this week as we pick up where we left off after our Halloween episode, before we got sick. 

For episode nine we are talking about roller coasters, the Coney Island theme park empire, and the grandfather of neonatology. Listen through to the end for a laugh.

Happy Halloween! We are so excited about the holiday that we're airing our episode a day early this week. Join us as we talk about the history of Halloween, trick-or-treating, haunted houses and more!
