    DUNG, DEATH & THE DEAD RETURNED
    May 9 2025
    LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE! New dates being added! EPISODE REWIND: Step into the creaky time machine as we dig up some gloriously odd gems from the archive: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of the 1800s — When cities were drowning in poop, and people feared equine waste would bring about the downfall of civilization. Spoiler: It didn't. But it was a real pile of trouble. The Bretzius House of Horrors — During what was supposed to be a charming home renovation, the Bretzius family unearthed mummified cats, twisted occult artifacts, and one big reason to just rent. Was it witchcraft, folk magic, or just an extreme case of DIY gone wrong? Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery — One of the most haunted graveyards in America, where phantom farmers plow ghostly fields, glowing orbs float like confused fireflies, and spectral cars drive absolutely nowhere. These stories are so strange, you'll think we made them up. We didn’t. History just has a weird sense of humor. Listen now to this Box of Oddities rewind — vintage weirdness, zero manure smell. #BoxOfOddities #HauntedHistory #WeirdFacts #HorseManureCrisis #GhostStories #CursedRenovations #PodcastRewind #TrueWeird #OccultHistory #HauntedCemetery #OddlyFascinating Learn more about your ad choices.

First, we explore the baffling time slips of Canevaro Avenue in Lima, Peru, where unsuspecting pedestrians report stepping into centuries-old realities, only to snap back to present day like glitchy NPCs in a haunted simulation. Is it a wrinkle in time or just an aggressive tourist trap? Then: coffee. You drink it, you love it, but did you know its discovery involved a hyperactive goat, a skeptical monk, and possibly divine intervention? Spoiler: it's the most chaotic beverage backstory in history. Get your brain weird and your mug ready—because we’re serving mystery, caffeine, and just enough existential dread to pair perfectly with your morning brew. #TimeSlips #WeirdHistory #CoffeeOrigin #BoxOfOddities #OddPod Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Great Sausage Uprising
    May 5 2025
    Get Tickets For The Box Of Oddities Live Show Here! This time on The Box of Oddities, we chew through two stories that will leave your brain deliciously baffled. First, travel back to Zürich, 1522, for The Affair of the Sausages—a rebellious feast that helped ignite the Protestant Reformation. When eating meat during Lent becomes a political act, things get oddly spicy. Then, we descend into the shadowy caves of South America to meet the Oil Bird—a nocturnal, echolocating enigma that smells like rancid milk and looks like a feathered flashlight that’s lost its will to live. From religious rebellion fueled by cured meats to a bird that might be part candle, part cryptid, this episode is peak historical weirdness and evolutionary chaos. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #AffairOfTheSausages #OilBird #StrangeFacts #BizarreBiology #OddPodcast #HistoryNerds #WTFNature Learn more about your ad choices.

    Where the Dead Walk: Corpse Roads and Haunted Hotels
    Apr 30 2025
    Get Tickets to The Box Of Oddities Shows Live ⁠HERE!⁠ Pack a lunch and maybe an exorcist—this episode of The Box of Oddities is going full ghost tour. First, we trudge down England’s "corpse roads," where the dead were literally carried across the countryside because Uber hadn’t been invented yet. Are the spirits still commuting? Tune in and find out. Then, it’s off to the haunted Mizpah Hotel in Nevada, where the decor includes vintage wallpaper, bad decisions, and an occasional ghostly slap in the face. From medieval funeral logistics to bed-and-breakfast poltergeist etiquette, it’s a journey through the weird, the haunted, and the deeply questionable. Bring snacks. Possibly holy water.

    What's In Your Walls?
    Apr 28 2025
    Get Tickets to The Box Of Oddities Shows Live HERE! When contractors cracked open the aging walls of a 120-year-old department store, they expected dust, maybe a few old rats with top hats. What they didn’t expect was a discovery so bizarre it had the building inspector saying, “Yeah… I’m gonna need backup.” In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro peel back the drywall on a mystery that’s been sealed for over sixty years. Then: before TikTok influencers and Times Square billboards, there were the banner girls—humans turned mobile advertisements, parading products on their bodies with the same enthusiasm as a sandwich board at a conspiracy convention. What happened when marketing met mayhem? You’ll have to hear it to believe it. Tune in for strange secrets, forgotten history, and the kind of content that makes you mutter, “What the weird?” under your breath in public.
