S1 Ep 50Episode 50 : The Sandown Clown
EYou can text us here!The 1970's were a better time. Kids would play outside all day, and you rarely heard of alien ghost clowns on the beach. Faye and George, however, did have such an encounter, and Episode 50 takes a peek at that day in 1973. I should point out that before recording this episode, I had a few drinks with a work colleague. You probably won't notice I'm drunk.

S1 Ep 48Episode 48 : Ultra Relaxation (The Barkley Marathons)
EYou can text us here!Some of us like a nice glass of wine and a good gangster film to unwind with at the weekend, while others like to throw themselves out of a perfectly good aeroplane in the pursuit of an adrenaline rush which can be got a lot more safely and probably cheaper from Dodgy Dave the Dealer. Episode 48 takes a look at some of the insane things people do for fun, and theres a bit about Martin Luther King in there too, for some reason.

S1 Ep 46Episode 46 : The Curse of Tutenkhamun
EYou can text us here!When Howard Carter broke the seal to Tutenkhamun's tomb, did he release an ancient curse, or did people just start dropping dead of natural causes? Grave robbing, or archaeology, as the toffs like to call it, was rife in Egypt in the 19th and 20th centuries, and Tutenkhamen's tomb was arguably the most important and richest discovery of all. Episode 46 follows the fate of the expedition, and also gives some amazing facts about the Pyramids in general.Support the showwww.strangestuffpodcast.comwww.patreon.com/strangestuffpodcast#strangestuffpodcast - InstagramStrange Stuff Podcast - YouTubeWe source our material from various web resources, and claim no credit for any original research, as we are too damn lazy/busy to actually carry it out.

S1 Ep 44Episode 44 :Gef The Talking Mongoose
EYou can text us here!The title says it all really. Along with a little local history of the Isle of Man, we get to meet Gef, a mischievous mongoose with a lot of talent, who caused quite a stir in the 1930's when he made the acquaintance of a local family. Confounding scientists, scholars and bus drivers alike, he became quite the local celeb , and if he was around today, he'd probably have more followers than the Kardashians. Was it a hoax? Or a ghost? You can decide for yourself, cos I'm buggered if I know. I can tell you that there is a lot of evidence to suggest that the story has at least some basis in fact, and probably a little in alcohol, too.Support the showwww.strangestuffpodcast.comwww.patreon.com/strangestuffpodcast#strangestuffpodcast - InstagramStrange Stuff Podcast - YouTubeWe source our material from various web resources, and claim no credit for any original research, as we are too damn lazy/busy to actually carry it out.
