Lesson is... always keep a fan on where ever you go in the world and next time someone farts on you, watch out!
Dominic delves into human-made disasters this week. Starting right at the top. Chernobyl, Deepwater Horizon, Exxon Valdez... but have you ever heard of the Bhopal Disaster?
Don't worry if you haven't because most people are like you. What is wild is that this is the WORST industrial disaster of all time!
Lesson is... learn your American baseball mascots and stay away from chicken bones, voodoo dolls and hexes/curses when trying to win a game.
Kate it legitimately on fire lately and this week is no exception as she delves into the wondrous world of sports curses. You heard us right, the paranormal effects the sports world possibly even more than you think.
This week tune into generations worth of superstitious behaviour from sports all over the world. You may be surprised by how convincing they really are - Dom was!
Lesson is... if you see a polaroid on the ground just walk the other way and put the Pocky down because it could be poisoned.
Dominic gets back to his roots this week with some good old fashioned murder mysteries but this time there is a twist. As usual you will be left guessing as to what had happened.
Just like a classic game of Cluedo, can you guess who it is before it is too late? Watch out for the fox!
Lesson is... if you have an itch, leave it alone because we wouldn't want to crack our skulls open accidentally?!
Kate literally delves deep into the deep dark recesses of the human mind this week. Our brain is truly a fascinating organ, how much do you know about it?
To round things off, Kate also decides to share some of the more grotesque and unbelievable survival stories. The brain can withstand some pretty epic things but also send us on interesting new paths.
Lesson is... just leave Dominic's teeth alone and stop hating on mice/rats. They have done so much for humans!!!!
How have we never talked about mice and rats before? Seriously isn't almost everyone afraid of these pesky little rodents??? Actually no, they have done so much for us and this week Dominic shares all things musophobia!
From menus filled with mice meat or the fascinating ways in which rats protect during wartimes. May be we should rethink our fear of mice/rats after this week's unearthing of TRUTH!
Lesson is... Don't trust anyone when it comes to drugs LOL just give it a whirl and see what happens!
Have you ever wondered how the pharmaceutical industry started? or heard a horror story from the past? The history of all things drugs whether helpful or harmful has been a bumpy ride.
This week Kate goes back in time to discover some of the worst stories from the world of alchemy. You won't believe some of things that were recommended or even some remedies that stood the test of time... Blow your nose and tune if you dare!
Lesson is... get your teeth ripped out and just go the denture route because that way you are one and done!
It is official folks, Dom and Kate have well and truly lost the plot. This week they explore one of the top 5 most common phobias of all time - Dentophobia - a fear of dentists.
Progressively getting more and more terrifying, tune in to hear of people who have lost their memory, teeth and even their lives all in the dentist chair... Beware it gets pretty dark folks!
Lesson is... if you keep your mouth shut you should be okay? BUT if all your family starts dying off one by one in weird ways - start talking!
Kate breaks the unbreakable rule and spills the beans on probably the worst kept secrets of the infamous Italian-American mafia code of conduct. Probably not the most effective HR policy ever agreed to, it is still fascinating to hear the history of organised crime.
The rules don't apply in this episode so tune in to find out how far the Five Families will go to keep their secrets. And find out how this lead to their downfall.
Lesson is... anything goes when living in a lawless land. Stick to the path or you will get lost in the City of Anarchy!
Dominic is back again this week for a double dose of tales from his latest travel adventures. This week we visit Hong Kong but back in time when it was more like a real life version of survivor.
The Walled City otherwise known as the City of Anarchy was once the most densely populated places on Earth. What do you think happened... real life Lord of the Flies.
Lesson is... meat cleavers may be the best chopping utensil but honestly they are just too scary a weapon!
Dom is back rom another of his wild adventures around the world and as usual he has found a local story that will make your eyes water.
Tuen in this week to hear the incredible story of the recurring Chop Chop Ladies of the beautiful country the Philippines. Don't be fooled this place is 100% worth visiting but everywhere has a dark side.
