    Tickets for The Box of Oddities Live Tour Here! In this Freak Family Favorites episode of The Box of Oddities, we investigate three very different ways humans have tried to solve very different problems—with wildly questionable success. First, we ride back to 1894, when the streets of major cities were ankle-deep in horse poop and people feared civilization would be buried in a literal pile of its own progress. What was the solution to the Great Horse Manure Crisis? Spoiler: it wasn’t a bigger shovel. Then, we dive into the squishy, grotesque, and oddly therapeutic world of Victorian medicine with a "cure" for rheumatoid arthritis that required the patient to crawl inside a dead whale carcass. You read that right. It’s less “spa treatment,” more “Jonah fan fiction.” And finally, we pedal straight into psychedelic history with a celebration of Bicycle Day—the trippy anniversary of the world’s first intentional LSD journey in 1943. A chemist. A bike. And a brain on technicolor fire. From poop-pocalypse panic to whale-based healing rituals and accidental acid trips, this episode is a wild ride through the absurd corners of human history. 🧠✨ Curiosity is a gateway drug. #LSDHistory #WhaleTherapy #HorseManureCrisis #BicycleDay #VictorianMedicine #WeirdHistory #OdditiesPodcast #BoxOfOddities #HumanityIsWeird #StrangeButTrue Learn more about your ad choices.

    LIVE SHOW TIX HERE Set sail into the strangest corners of history and mystery in this episode of The Box of Oddities! First, we weigh anchor in 18th-century Dublin to explore the baffling disappearance—and even more bewildering reappearance—of the Ouzel Galley, a “ghost ship” that vanished without a trace… only to return five years later with a tale that’s either the greatest cover story of all time or a nautical glitch in the Matrix. Then: tropical paradise meets paranormal peril. We dive into the eerie legend of The Babinda Boulders, an idyllic Australian swimming hole with a deadly secret—where a string of mysterious drownings has locals whispering about a vengeful spirit and a tragic love story carved in stone. Shipwrecks, spirits, and spooky swim spots—what more could you want?

    Box of Oddities Live National Tour September 10 - October 31, Halloween Night. Learn More Here! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro raise a glass to history’s most unsettling happy hour. First, a post-mortem fashion icon: the corpse of Countess Virginia Oldoini, a.k.a. the Countess of Castiglione—19th-century Italian aristocrat, secret agent, fashion influencer, and full-time narcissist. She posed for over 400 photos, staged her own haunting re-creations of operas, and spent her final years obsessively preparing to be seen dead just right. Spoiler: her afterlife aesthetic was more “ghost of Versailles” than “eternal slay.” Then, we stumble drunkenly across the globe to explore humanity’s weirdest regional cocktails. From "Fat Ass In A Glass" to "The Burnt Trailer", these aren’t your hipster speakeasy cocktails. They’re historic. They’re horrifying. They’ll make you question your liver’s will to live. Drink deeply from the odd. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #CountessCastiglione #StrangeButTrue #BizarreDrinks #MacabreFashion #FermentedWhat #OddlyInformative #HistoryIsDrunk Learn more about your ad choices.
