- The Somerton Man: 73 Year Mystery Finally Kind Of Solved
On December 1st, 1948, the body of an unidentified man was found on the Somerton Beach outside of Adelaide Australia. Despite conducting a thorough investigation that garnered much media attention, the authorities were never able to identify the man and cause of death. In 2022 a professor from the University Of Adelaide conducted a DNA test that was finally able to identify the man. In this week’s episode, we’ll discuss the mystery of the Somerton Man, some popular long held theories of who he could have been, and the findings of the DNA test and how they stack up with those popular theories!

52 min - Elmer McCurdy: From Outlaw to Morbid Sideshow Attraction
Elmer McCurdy’s story is both fascinating and tragic. His life and posthumous fame offer a mix of the Old West, crime, and morbid curiosity. His life was that of a minor outlaw who, due to a series of macabre events, achieved a form of postmortem fame far beyond his criminal activities. His story serves as a unique case study in the realms of criminal history, forensic science, and the ethics of death and entertainment. Join us as we introduce this wild-wild west outlaw, how he became a mummified sideshow attraction, and how he ended up as a prop in a popular California Funhouse.

38 min - Mike "Madman" Marcum and His Homemade Time Machine
In 2016 a man known as Mike "Madman" Marcum jumped into his home made time machine and hasn’t been seen or heard from again. But this isn’t his first disappearing act. In 1998 he disappeared for 2 years when he claimed he traveled 2 years into the future. His stories made headlines and garnered the attention of Art Bell and his listeners on his Coast To Coast radio show. This week, we’ll talk about Mike Marcum and what we know about him based on interviews and newspaper articles, the details of his time machine and his time travel, and a possible explanation for at least one of his disappearances.

54 min - The Science Of Astrology and Why Your Sign Is Not What You Think
Astrology goes all the way back to the 3rd millennium BCE. This means your sign is actually not what you probably think. What does psychology say about why people are drawn to astrology? Also let’s dig into a study out of Sweden set to gauge astrology believers on a narcissistic scale and gauge IQ - the results might shock you.

47 min - 3M Forever Chemicals: Science. Applied To Kill Us.
In 1997 3M chemist Kris Hansen was tasked with testing the blood of their employees for the presence of fluorochemicals, also known as forever chemicals. Hansen was told they weren’t toxic, but the company wanted to know how widespread they were in their employees. When testing control samples they came to the realization that these chemicals were in every person and animal in every country they obtained samples from. This week, we’ll discuss fluorochemicals and how they got in all of us, the possible health ramifications, and how comedian John Oliver led to Hansen coming forward with her story!

42 min - Giovanni Maria De Agostini: Italian Monk, Cave Dweller, World Nomad
Living in a cave, not gonna lie, sounds pretty cool. For over 30 years, a monk Giovanni Maria De Agostini lived in caves all over Europe, Brazil and America. He was so admired that he gathered a following in almost every country he went to. So much so that he still has a small number of followers who make pilgrimages to his old cave home in New Mexico to this date. But, why would someone choose to live like this, in a day when homes are available?
