Chandrashekar Gowda & Christopher Knight. We’ve all had that thought. What would life be like if we just disappeared? What would happen if we dropped out of the hustle and bustle of the urban world and retreated into the woods. For most of us, the change would be something to get used to. No internet, no technology, and, well, no food on demand. The convenience of everyday life is something we’ve all grown accustomed to and leaving it behind, would be virtually impossible… But not for some.Support the show

Radioactive Boy Scout & Mad Mike.  I feel like we’ve come a long way, and for the most part kept our dangerous activities to areas where they were atleast monitored by professionals. Today we’re talking about the people who missed those lessons. Backyard Scientists who took it upon themselves to do the unthinkable.Support the show

Volcano Snails & Vampire Deer.  In our time here at the Odd Topic Podcast, we've spoken about creatures big and small. Most times they are animals that are presumed to be real, or completely fake... Not these, these are very real, and very strange in their own way. Support the show

The Mystery of Bermagui & The Voynich Manuscript.  Our world contains an endless array of mystery.

George P Burdell & Deep Fakes. When someones life sounds too good to be true, it generally is. When someones life seems impossible, they are probably fake. From university pranks that go a bit too far, to deep fakes that can turn you into anyone you want. Fake people are everywhere, and who are we to know whats real and whats not.Support the show

South American & North America. We're tapping into our ancient minds in this one. From Aztecs to the Anasazi, where did these civilizations go? The ruins left behind might be modern marvels, but why were they abandoned in the first place?  Support the show

300 Million Yen Heist & Butch Cassidy. This week we’re taking on the masterminds, the criminals that aren’t in it for the small change. Be it brains, or just plain stupidity it’s hard not to commend some people who go in big. We’ve all seen the movies, the step by step planned executions and the dramatic get-a-way driving sequences only to end off on a tropical island where the crew spends their spoils. Well, real-life heists may not be so sweet. Don't get me wrong, there are some real-life masterminds that would put the movies to shame, but they don't need the flash or glory. They’re in it for the money.Support the show

Reincarnation & Nirvana. I a slightly morbid topic, but an interesting one at that! This week we tackle a question that generally doesn't get asked. What happens after we die?  and more importantly, do we even have a soul? Well with religion aside, there are some very interesting stories that make you question what life after death really might be. It is truly odd. Support the show

Sarisarinama Tepui's & The Mariana Trench. Now I know that the majority of the earth’s continental surface has been explored and documented,  but there are still sections that are either too treacherous to explore or just straight up inaccessible and don’t even get me started on the vast majority of our oceans that we know little to nothing about. These are the places that we are going to speak about today. The uncharted, unexplored or un-mapped regions of our world.Support the show

Childhood Stress & Musical Mischief. In this Let's Talk, we go back to our roots and chat about the events that lead us to where we are now, from childhood anxiety to the first steps in front of crowds.  This episode will take a trip down memory lane for the two of us, so join us for the ride. Support the show

The Titan & The Jim Twins.  There are times in all of our lives where we’ve had a good chuckle at some strange events that have transpired. Maybe rocking up to a party wearing the same outfit as someone else, or humming a song that immediately starts playing on the radio. These strange events are what we would call a coincidence, and normally we would brush them off and go on about our day, but not today. Today we talk about the crazy unbelievable coincidences that have tested the limits of probability and left us feeling, quite, odd.Support the show

Halloween Special! You didn't think we would miss this, did you? Well, we embraced Halloween the only way we know how. With some spooky stories!

The trail of the Golden Owl &  Thomas Beale's Treasure Hunt. So now that Forrest Fenn’s treasure has been claimed, and DB Cooper’s money has disintegrated, we need another challenge. We’ve got the clues, we’ve got the brains, but now we need the stories. The world is full of hidden treasures. Some still waiting to be found. It’s our duty to take you, our dear listeners on a journey that could, possibly, maybe, sort of lead you to the resting place of millions in gold, silver and jewels.Support the show

Simulations & The Mandela Effect. Is this the real life, or is this just fantasy? Caught in the matrix, no escape from what we see. This week we open up the rift to stare into our other universe. No time to dwell on the past when it's just going to change anyway, Right? Well, we chat about the Mandela Effect as well, so choose wisely, Red pill or the Blue?Support the show

The Yellow Fleet & the Kingdom of Elleore. There are about 195 countries in the world, 249 if you count the non-independent nations like Isle of Man, Reunion Island and even Hong Kong. And 335 if you count the various micronations floating around. And I say floating around, because, well, some of them are literally floating in the middle of the ocean!Support the show

Nostradamus & Edmond Halley. Hear ye, hear ye! All gather round. This week we're taking it back to a time where the world was ripe for the taking. Where conspiracies were the talk of the town. Today we're talking about two famous scientists and philosophers who took science into their own hands,  and crafted a version of history that may not be true.Support the show

The faces of Bélmez & The Siberian Hell Hole. This week we’re venturing into the underground. The paranormal mysteries that defy science and captivate our nightmares.
