The wrap up of possibly the stupidest trial we’ve covered on the podcast. How was so much said and so little understood by Lori? The world may never know and we certainly hope that we never understand her.

Well, well well, Lori’s back and she’s still dumb. More of her case and we can share together in the progressive frustration felt from the prosecutors, judge and even witnesses while having to deal with Lori Vallow.

We’re baaaaaaack baby! New state, new trial, same Lori Vallow and this time? She’s representing herself at this trial. What could possibly go wrong? Spoiler alert: a lot. But it’s honestly… kind of funny. Like not funny that someone died but damn. She is not a smart woman. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunu…

Eric’s life took a sudden left turn when his mother leaned down to his ear and asked if he thought it would be better if his dad was dead. We’re not saying Paul Witte was a saint, but we are saying that isn’t a fair question to ask an 8 year old. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG a…

Just when we thought it was going to be a sweet episode about librarians, the wee-woos dropped nazis and Japanese internment camps. Don’t worry though, they’re not the focus of the episode. It’s a good wholesome time about women teaching people how to read Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the p…

It wasn’t even close and now you all have to admit it too, we’re all sick individuals who enjoy cults. This one’s not as bad as it could have been, but it’s certainly not a happy fun times cult either. Jeffery Lundgren was not a good man, he was not a safe man and he never should have had access to so many people. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast…

This one’ll throw you on some loops! You think Casey’s going to zig and she zags as she talks about the tumultuous and painful life of Marianne Bachmeier and how she turned into quite the polarizing figure in German in the 1980s.

So… We didn’t realize this was going to be a two parter, but when Roya got to the end of the episode only to find that John Michael Baker escaped. How do you think she felt? Betrayed. Bewildered. (remember, we’re a movie podcast too and 10 points to you if you get the reference). Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/str…

Who doesn’t love some updates to cases we’ve talked to for months worth of episodes at this point? Well, now we’re into some new wild happenings with Lori Vallow and this time guys… she’s representing herself. It’s going to be an absolutely wild ride. This episode is primarily Casey getting us all up to speed on where Lori’s new trial stands, what …

You all wanted it, so you all got it. Come on a journey of a lifetime criminal. He scammed and conned all across the world and sold at least one wonder of the world… twice. His name was Victor Lustig, or was it? Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_unusual_podcast Bluesky…

What happened to Gloria? A lot… allegedly. We know she had cancer and we know she died, but it’s the in between that’s left a big mystery. Was she really the problem? Was it all an elaborate cover up? Was it negligence? Maybe a little of everything? Maybe none of somethings. Who knows? Not us and not anyone else for that matter. Email us at: Strang…

A story of a woman you’ve probably never heard of, but by the end of the episode, I bet you’re rooting for her. Good for her, we say.

Who knew that Dr. Suess was inspired by the Puritans when he wrote The Grinch? Well, we don’t know that he was, but we also don’t know that he wasn’t. So we’ll just pretend together. It’s a war on Christmas, but it didn’t really work out how the Puritans wanted it to. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual …

Have you ever participated in something absurd because it would be a hilarious story? This is exactly the situation Harry Price found himself in after he received a letter from the Isle of Man talking about a house that was occupied by a family of 3 and one surprising, furry, talking little guest.

Fast fashion? No thanks. Please enjoy this episode where Casey talks about the original male enhancement clothing product, codpieces. Where did they come from? How did they get so popular? Did they have actual practical benefits? Do you also wish men would bedazzle their dick sacks? Make Codpieces Great Again. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gma…

What happens when a man is left disillusioned by both of the political powers in his life? Does he sit idle and wonder about who will help him? Maybe. Or… could he possibly become a very successful and extremely important double agent that also managed to grift Nazi Germany out of hundreds of thousands of dollars? Listen and find out.

Today Casey’s gonna talk about an Inuit baddie named Ada Blackjack and how she, and the expedition cat, survived a doomed expedition to an incredible island that belongs to the UK. No, Japan?

You weren’t getting rid of us that easy. We had a busy couple of weeks and some surprise power outages that delayed the episode but we’re back with an episode to distract you for a little bit from the election stuff this week.

Have you ever felt so fragile you might shatter like glass? Have you ever considered what you might think if you didn’t really know what glass was? Or even know that it COULD shatter into a million sharp shiny pieces? In an era that brought you heart attacks because you saw a weird duck, people were very susceptible to mania and anxieties. Some mig…

Sorry this is a week late guys. Between Casey getting sick and Roya struggling with her ears, we both had a hell of a week to say the least and the episode completely slipped our minds. But we’re back baby and here with a story from the Harry Price archives that we’re pretty sure inspired Good Omens… at least a little. Email us at: Strangeunusualpo…

We talk about pop culture and why we sometimes feel like we need to know what happens in a series even if we don’t care about that series at all. But, the real meat of the story is about Elenore Zugun, or The Poltergeist Girl. What would you do if you had the powers of Matilda? Caveats? You can’t control it and your village thinks you’re possessed …

The Real Life Nacho Libre. Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez is possibly more myth than man with a story that never gets told the same way twice,a t least when he’s the one that tells you. Clawing his way away from addiction to priesthood to becoming a luchador to supporting an orphanage to possibly telling the Catholic church where to stick it. Regardless …

Here we come with Part 2 of Harry Price and a less boring set of seances. Stella was just an average woman in London, starting a job, looking for a partner, and sometimes causing bright lights to manifest around her when she got scared. This episode follows her ups and downs in her early psychic mediumship that she really didn’t care about, which m…

What caused meat to rain down from the sky as if it was a metal song? What kind of meat was it? Why will men taste or smell disgusting things because others do? None of these questions are answered in this episode, but stick around as we speculate wildly about what it could have been. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.co…

Well, not off to as big of a blast as originally anticipated. Injured legs, dancing handkerchiefs, homoeroticism(?), and a good pilsner make this seance almost bearable. Roya begins her coverage of Harry Price, the first Ghostbuster. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/strangeunusual Follow the pod on IG at: @strange_u…

We have finally reached the conclusion of the Chad Daybell trial. We talk victim impact statements, sentencing and more wild speculation. Please be kind about Casey losing her voice toward the end, she was very eepy and this case was draining. Don’t worry though, you won’t have to wait long for the next mini series to start, this time, from Roya! E…

An episode chosen by the patreon that’s about demons just wouldn’t be an episode about demons if we didn’t dunk on Ed and Lorraine Warren. After the Conjuring House and Amityville, there was a case in Connecticut involving a family and a young boy who was reportedly possessed by several demons. One of those demons went rogue and helped a young man …

We’re getting there guys! We see the light at the end of the tunnel! This episode is an important one with lots of new information as Garth and Emma Daybell take the stand and are definitely… super not lying… Not at all. That would be wrong. Almost as wrong as killing your wife and two kids. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Pat…

Not quite the thrilling conclusion yet, but the penultimate episode of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell Trial. This one definitely had a twist that Roya was not expecting and next week we get into what we’re all excited for: Chad’s kids on the stand.

We are family. I got all my sisters with me! Happy Pride! We are taking a break from the Chad Daybell case to bring something different to the table.

We’re back back back again with another episode of John Prior’s bullshit and again, we’re all left wondering how Judge Boyce is so damn patient. We get some tea, we get some laughs, we march forward toward the completion of our coverage of the trial and sweet sweet freedom for Casey. At least until Lori’s next trial… Email us at: Strangeunusualpodc…

Part four of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell trial. Today we learn about all sorts of things and hear from all sorts of sassy people. We would also like to ask Judge Boyce not to hold us in contempt and wonder if you know that Garth brought Tammy a Quarter Pounder and fries. Email us at: [email protected] Patreon: Patreon.com/str…

Part three of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell trial. We’re keeping up pretty well and Casey turns this into almost a telenovela of sassy judges and courtroom daddies. We are still working through to the prosecution's witnesses and it’s been a lot. Again, we really suggest that you go back and refresh with the episodes covering Lori’s case for …

Part two of Casey’s coverage of the Chad Daybell trial. We may be a little behind, but Casey’s keeping us up to date and referencing back to the coverage of the case and Lori’s trial a year ago. So, if you like us and you’ve been interested in more about these cancerous humans, we love to have you! Email us at: [email protected] Patre…

Remember back about a year ago? Almost exactly actually, Casey dove into the wild, terrible trial of Lori Vallow. Well, now Chad Daybell, her partner in the crimes (and a few more) is starting his trial and Casey is here with some details.

What’s the number one rule of Appalachia? Listen to this episode and you’ll find out. Casey and Roya go back to their roots in the mountain range known for strange occurrences and mysteries.

What’s the weirdest way someone could be tested to see if god is on their side? Dipping your hands in hot oil? Surviving a cobra bite? Perhaps by eating several raisins worth of bread and cheese and not choking? Casey covers all the variety of ways that people tried to test to see if god was on the side of those who were on trial for crimes. The ou…

Jeepers Creepers, Where’d You Get Those Peepers is something you’ll definitely be asking yourself after you look at a picture of Dennis DePue, a violent bully whose crime had a lasting effect in shaping the first scene of Jeepers Creepers. His whole family were made to be his victims, finally culminating in a very unfortunate morning with his ex-wi…

It was the dancing plague, blood and priests, only 15(18). This is not what Dancing Queen was about (probably), but there was a woman who started dancing and couldn’t stop and she caused a craze that hit the whole village. We talk about (historical) facts, possible legends, divine causes and actual theories. Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail…

Was her sentence justified? Help us decide. Today Roya is covering the patreon chosen subject ‘She Wants Revenge’ as we talk about Penny Jackson and how she might just be the most quotable killer we have covered on this podcast (though Casey and I quote Denny Rader a lot ‘Oh Anna, why did you not appear?’). Email us at: Strangeunusualpodcast@gmail.…

Did you know that Japan had their own version of the Red Sox? Well, they do, but their losing streak may be able to be blamed on… a fast food mascot?

So, it was the runner up for the poll and Roya thought it would be fun to cover two episodes from the poll. In honor of Valentine’s day, we’re talking about Henri Landru, The Bluebeard of Gambais. He’s a real piece of work that will make you maybe be a little relieved to not be in a relationship, or maybe give you pause when a proposal seems too go…

Abolitionists. The Gold Rush. Racism. Black Excellence. Casey tells us about the incredible life led by Mary Ellen Pleasant, a Black female abolitionist who moved out to California in search of fortune. Fortune that she definitely found. She was pretty incredible and we hope that everyone walks away with a new baddie to respect. Email us at: Strang…

Did you grow up with a family that was very attached to your local weather people? Well, that was the case for a lot of people in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania in the 90s to 00s with Marisa Burke.
