Welcome to The Compendium: An Assembly of Fascinating Things, we bring you a fresh, stand-alone story each week—from bizarre crimes and forgotten history to curious science, survival tales, and the strange-but-true lives of unforgettable people.

If you're someone who loves learning just one fascinating thing without committing to an eight-part series, this is the podcast for you.

Hosted by Kyle Risi and Adam Cox, each episode delivers a wildly different topic, packed with dry humor, sharp research, and a big twist or two. Whether we're uncovering the secrets of the Pizza Bomber Heist or revisiting the infamous Poop Cruise, you’ll walk away with a story worth retelling.
