Since 2008 they have passionately (and often awkwardly) been discussing 'cryptids' and monsters like Yeti, Chupacabra, Bigfoot and Nessie - as well as weird news of the world, UFO's, Time travellers, robots and space stuff. Though they take these pseudo-sciences as seriously as they can, they struggle to take ...

We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable lessons, but these Cautionary Tales are for the education of the grown ups – and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “The Data Detective”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They'll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser. New episodes every other Friday.
Why do dragons horde gold? What sort of a fish makes up a mermaids lower half? How does centaur digestion work? Hosts Scott Paladin and Zach Jaquays tackle these topics and more. Asking the tough questions, and then making up the answers on the spot.
Life is strange, naturally you want to hear about it. Strange by Nature is your guide to the strange, weird and unbelievable side of nature. Professional naturalists present weekly curated stories about just how strange nature can get.

Join us on THE OUTSIDER AFTERBUZZ TV AFTER SHOW PODCAST as we follow each episode of The Outsider as we delve further into this cursed murder investigation. Set within the shared universe of Mr. Mercedes, It's no wonder HBO has chosen such a great story to tell.
