A Naked Medium, A King & His Nerds, Bavarian Beer Riots, 10 Unusual Deaths, Retrograde Menstruation & A Tumor + A Surprise

EPISODE 12: Welcome back to The Oddities Department, where the paperwork is optional and the back halls are absolutely not OSHA-compliant.This week’s unauthorized tour proves, once again,  that history is just humanity repeatedly making eye contact with bad decisions and proceeding anyway.Inside tonight’s crate:A scandal-prone French medium who convinced actual scientists she was producing ghost goo… while fully naked. A powerful Korean king who could command armies but couldn’t stop historians from documenting the day he absolutely ate dirt. The Bavaria Beer Riots of 1844 — when Munich collectively chose violence over beverage pricing. Ten wildly avoidable historical deaths that will make you question natural selection’s patience. A medical deep dive into retrograde menstruation (yes, it goes the other way). And the jaw-dropping case of Suze Lopez — who went in for tumor surgery and discovered a full-term abdominal pregnancy nobody saw coming.It’s weird. It’s uncomfortable. It’s aggressively educational.And as always… it somehow gets worse.🎧 Listener discretion advised.
