While we as humans may not always have the same idea what is considered polite across cultures or even within the same society, we generally would all agree that punching a coworker in the head is rude and shrieking  full-volume into the face of a potential date isn't a good idea.

There is something sacred about the remains of those who have passed before us, however that doesn’t seem to always stop some from interfering with the dearly departed.

There is a mystique around assassins - creeping through dark shadows with silencers in one hand and a cocktail in the other. Media and daydreams have given these very historically real roles glitz, glamor, and tragic prestige. Of course, if I am going to cover assassins I wanted to take a look at some stories of a few of the most intriguing women assassins I could find. Who were they? What did they do? And what happened to them?This week's bonus episode sparked the topic for me and features a story of a private vendetta that captured the heart of a nation, allowing our assassin to get off scot free.

This week as we approach the fabled end of 2020, I share three tales of fascinating and history-making individuals who lived to the beat of their own drum to help inspire as we enter the new year. They boldly challenged the conventions of their times in unusual ways and forged paths in unexpected ways from a whiskey-drinking, cigar-smoking, gun-toting lady who would stop at neither snow nor rain nor heat nor even gloom of night, to finely dressed former slave who made LGBTQ history when being arrested for throwing a party, to a shrewd business woman running a floating empire.Our bonus patreon story this week is extra in depth and features the story of an incredibly diversely-talented woman who was known for her wild boldness, had single-handedly fought against three men twice and won, and won the King's favor in a precarious situation... twice.

This week in light of the recent cracking of the Zodiac killer code, I bring you three stories of codes and ciphers from a pigeon lost for seventy years, to a badass woman pioneer in codebreaking, to a long and colorful text that to this day has the world stumped.Bonus for Patreon supporters this week includes a quick look at a strange code from the 1600s supposedly written by the Devil and brought to light by the dark web.fantasticallystrange.cominstagram.com/fantasticallystrangetwitter.com/fantasticoddpodAmazing logo design by Constance Hermitinstagram.com/constancehermitKiller intro song "Hey Dorothy" by Cruz Machinefacebook.com/dravenSOURCEShttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55285805https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20456782https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20749632https://www.nsa.gov/About-Us/Current-Leadership/Article-View/Article/1623028/elizebeth-s-friedman/https://www.nsa.gov/About-Us/Current-Leadership/Article-View/Article/1623028/elizebeth-s-friedman/https://themobmuseum.org/notable_names/elizebeth-friedman/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2017/10/elizebeth-friedman-codebreaker-nazi-spy-fagone/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/6-things-know-about-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-180964847/https://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3519597https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55285805

My loves! Let’s talk about sex...es in the animal world. More specifically chromosomes, clones, and beyond - because nature is strange and fantastic in the best of ways and so much more complex than anything we - or at least I - learned in my early science classes. And as much as humans have historically looked to the animal kingdom to reinforce ideas of the status quo, it seems the more we learn the more these very ideas can be shaken up by the same incredible creatures and the secrets they hold.Logo illustration is by Constance HermitInstagram @ConstanceHermitTheme song "Hey Dorothy" is by Cruz Machinewww.facebook.com/dravenSourceshttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/10/rose-breasted-grosbeak-half-male-half-female/https://powdermillarc.org/bird-banding-at-powdermill-avian-research-center-parc/https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strange-but-true-komodo-d/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/23/science/23shark.html#:~:text=A%20hammerhead%20shark%20that%20gave,been%20documented%20in%20a%20shark.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101103111210.htmhttps://listverse.com/2016/03/21/10-amazing-animals-that-clone-themselves/https://www.forbes.com/sites/grrlscientist/2019/10/17/meet-the-blob-a-creature-that-has-almost-720-sexes--but-no-brain/?sh=ab4439a75422Songs, Sound Effects"Snake" by M.W.D.https://freemusicarchive.org/music/MWD/Singing_Forest/04_mwd-snakeDramatic 8 by digifishmusichttps://freesound.org/people/digifishmusic/sounds/76064/

Big, bad, majestic, and misunderstood to a fault, the wolf has been the placeholder for all that’s evil to the citizens of fairytales, guardians and guides to the spiritual in various cultures, and - at the end of the day - trying to just get by in a world that’s hunted them mercilessly. Today, we will look at three fascinating stories involving and inspired by this beautiful animal, and perhaps we’ll come to find that big and bad is, well, not so bad.The amazing logo art is by Constance HermitInstagram @ConstanceHermitThe killer theme "Hey Dorothy" is by Cruz Machinefacebook.com/dravenSourceshttps://www.thoughtco.com/facts-about-the-dire-wolf-1093336https://siberiantimes.com/science/casestudy/news/still-snarling-after-40000-years-a-giant-pleistocene-wolf-discovered-in-yakutia/https://allthatsinteresting.com/discovery-ancient-wolf-headhttps://www.texasmonthly.com/news/extinct-red-wolf-dna-discovered-galveston-strays/https://allthatsinteresting.com/red-wolf-galveston-texashttps://www.cnn.com/2018/11/06/us/red-wolf-judge-rules-government-violated-federal-law-trnd/index.htmlhttps://www.fws.gov/southeast/wildlife/mammals/red-wolf/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/robotic-monster-wolf-protects-japanese-town-bears-180976300/Monster Wolf Imagehttps://tinyurl.com/monsterwolfimageWolf Resources Linkshttps://wolf.org/https://wolfhaven.org/https://missionwolf.org/Song"Wolf Song" by Stephen Bartolomei on Free Music Archive https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Stephen_Bartolomei/Live_on_WFMU_with_Irene_Trudel_-_September_8_2014/Bartolomei_Stephen_-_01_-_Wolf_Song

We knew this day was coming. Yes, my friends and loves, today your number one fantastically strange podcast visits the number two. We take a look into three tales of animals that have unusual poop in some form or another. From laughing gas, to a weekly harrowing endeavor, to what makes a cube, join me for this episode that is sure to be... odd to say the least.*Episode quasi-warning: while I won't be getting into anything too graphic, we are talking about poop so know that going in.Amazing cover illustration by Constance Hermitwww.instragram.com/constancehermitKiller theme song "Hey Dorothy" by Cruz Machinewww.facebook.com/dravenSourceshttps://oceanwide-expeditions.com/to-do/wildlife/king-penguinhttps://www.sciencealert.com/researchers-love-antarctic-penguin-poop-here-s-whyhttps://www.cnn.com/2020/05/19/world/king-penguins-laughing-gas-scn-trnd/index.htmlhttps://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/mammal-has-worlds-slowest-metabolismhttps://www.businessinsider.com/the-horror-sloths-go-through-every-time-they-have-to-poop-2018-6#:~:text=Not%20only%20do%20sloths%20only,an%20easy%20target%20for%20predators.https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/sloths-only-poop-once-week.htmhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/11/wombat-poop-cube-why-is-it-square-shaped/#closehttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-46258616For an image of wombat poop: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnet.com%2Fnews%2Fscientists-discover-why-wombat-poop-is-cube-shaped%2F&psig=AOvVaw210595R_hsx2R19kSinBOc&ust=1606173324525000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNiz1oqkl-0CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

This week we take a deeper dive into the unforgiving and brutal world of... chickens. Well, that's at least where we'll begin before seeing why rose-tinted specs became all the rage - or rather rage-stopper - in the poultry industry. Then we'll take a little more of an in depth scientific look at a couple studies into both how the red tint may affect our brain as well as how our mood may actually affect how our eyes take in information.The amazing color illustration is by Constance HermitInstagram @ConstanceHermitThe killer theme song "Hey Dorothy" is by Cruz MachineFacebook.com/dravenashlySourceshttps://modernfarmer.com/2016/03/pecking-order/#:~:text=The%20pecking%20order%20is%2C%20literally,the%20point%20across%2C%20they%20peck.http://www.poultryhub.org/health/disease/types-of-disease/cannibalism-or-aggressive-pecking/https://io9.gizmodo.com/thousands-of-chickens-once-wore-glasses-to-stop-them-ki-1700343874https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_eyeglasses#:~:text=One%20variety%20used%20rose%2Dcolored,beginning%20of%20the%2020th%20century.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090603103807.htm#:~:text=People%20Who%20Wear%20Rose%2Dcolored%20Glasses%20See%20More%2C%20Study%20Shows,-Date%3A%20June%206&text=They%20found%20that%20donning%20the,the%20expansiveness%20of%20the%20view.http://www.coe2ndwis.com/civiliancorner/strangefacts.htmlhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6563619/ https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=fmribrain

During a time that has been rife with change, stress, and anticipation - including a very big recent election for the United States, I want to take this week's episode to focus on some stories of instances where something small has made a very big impact. If you're anything like me, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and insignificant but I would hope that after these tales you take heart in what's possible from seemingly singular, small, and unexpected places.Logo illustration is by Constance HermitInstagram @ConstanceHermitTheme song "Hey Dorothy" by Cruz Machinefacebook.com/dravenashlySourceshttps://www.odditycentral.com/travel/the-oakland-buddha-how-one-buddha-statue-brought-neighbourhood-crime-down-by-82.htmlhttps://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/johnson/article/Buddha-seems-to-bring-tranquillity-to-Oakland-5757592.phphttps://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/05/11/405622494/south-koreas-single-moms-struggle-to-remove-a-social-stigmahttps://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2019/02/119_264411.htmlhttp://koreabizwire.com/leaving-controversies-behind-baby-box-saves-over-1500-lives-in-a-decade/131802https://www.facebook.com/babyboxkorea/https://homeofheroes.com/heroes-stories/world-war-i/cher-ami/Songs and sound effects"The Feathers of a Little White Angel" by ish10yow1r0https://freemusicarchive.org/music/ish10_yow1r0/Sampler_EP_Vol_11/08_ish10_yow1r0_-__the_white_feathers_of_a_little_angel"Pigeons Fly Freak" by Nick Riverahttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Nick_Rivera/Zamalek/04_Pigeons_Fly_FreakArtillery fire by tomashevskyBattle FX by alienbombBeating wings of a pigeon by gerardcatalaBuddhist monk chant/prayer, China by mycompasstvCardboard box by newagesoupCordless phone ring by cbakosDistant World War 2 gunfire Kent by CheeseheadburgerHammering by dvideoguyOutdoor parking lot by BigDaddyDPainting by LGPrayer bell by widowakerStreet sounds Seoul by 3bagbrew

There is something about a tale of a good haunting that is hard not to be intrigued by if not love. The mystery, the unknown, the experience that seems to defy logic. Of course in an ideal world at the end of the day we can leave a haunting behind and return to trusting our senses. Or can we? What if the strange things we're sometimes feeling and seeing aren't coming from veils beyond but from somewhere much, much closer and harder to escape? Be wary, the haunting might just be coming from inside in tonight's episode. Additionally, be aware that we take a little more of a pure storytelling turn for our second tale and, true to topic, it is an eerie tale.Finally, while I usually like to bring three tales for each episode's topic, this week I got carried away with the first two and ran long on time. However, I will be releasing the third story to subscribers on my Patreon!

As we continue our journey into the curious, we start tonight's episode in a place that may sound familiar: Sleepy Hollow. We'll take a stroll through some headless lore, then look a little more closely at a couple strange historical instances that beg the question, can someone or something live without a head or heart? And how?*For a quick content warning, while I won't go into any gore or explicit detail, this episode will cover people and a couple animals.
