Co-hosts Beth and Kelly Listen explore the sad, twisted story of two brothers in New York City who literally couldn't find their way out of a paper bag-they just kept stuffing it with newspapers, baby carriages, bones, and more.

Welcome to Strange Country, a podcast devoted to bizarre, surreal and extraordinary stories that make America the weird place it is. Co-hosts Kelly and Beth are former newspaper reporters turned school librarians who have always had a soft spot for a good story--the stranger the better. In their inaugural episode, Beth and Kelly talk about Maggie and Kate Fox, two young sisters who claimed they could communicate with the dead. The girls were eventually credited with founding the Modern Spiritualism movement.
