Hello, Lovelies! Apologies for the short notice hiatus, we will be back to our regularly scheduled programing shortly. Links to the things, included the discord: https://theladiesofstrange.com/links/

Hey guys! Life hit us hard, so enjoy an episode from the Patreon vault (guest starring Ivar)! Hello, Strange Lovely Patroni! Welcome to this month's of strange! This month we tried our hand at palm reading! Thanks to the kit called "Handful of Stars" by Helene Saucedo (which is amazing if you're looking to get into palmistry) all three of us were able to approach palm reading in our own way and come out with incredible insight into each other's lives. (Which surprised all of us). This was a super fun subject for us to cover and we're so happy to be able to bring you this episode.

Hello, Lovelies! As you may have noticed, Ashley isn't here this week. Thankfully, Rebecca stole spoons (and notes) from the Intern and shared a new twist on the age old tale of Evolution with us. Join us as the Intern and Rebecca try to convince us that humans evolved from mermaids and Tiffany keeps going back to banana DNA.

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Ashley explains the concept of ‘Stranger Danger' and attempts to discourage us from making new friends. Join us as we learn about Erika and Benjamin Sifrit and try to rehome snakes

BREAKING NEWS! Rebecca was loaned a solitary spoon and joined us for the week! YAY! Not only did she join us, but she presented too! Join us as Rebecca reads the Interns notes on Count Loose-Dick (AKA Victor Lustig), the infamous con man from the early 1900's (who is most definitely not Leonardo DiCaprio). We also learn about the sound farm animals make, but let's not focus on that right now…

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Tiffany is joined by everyone's favorite Lady, Large Male Tiffany! No, Earni is not joining because Tiffany messed up the audio for this week's episode and Ashley was already on vacation by the time she figured it out. Why do you ask? He joined to discuss everyone's newest fear: dying on the toilet. Join us as we dive in and discuss toilet related deaths and injuries and how to avoid them. (Hint: it's not holding your poop in.)

Hello, Lovelies! Ashley is quickly approaching vacation and wants to share the excitement with us all. Since she can't pack us all in her suitcase (and you know Tiffany has tried), she is sharing fun roadside attractions with us to fuel our future adventure fire. Join us as we discuss Lucy the Elephant, the Oregon Vortex, Bishop Castle, the Official Center of the World, (Tiffany's) Mystery Hole, the Oddporium, the Cushing Center, and the World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things.

Hello, Lovelies! What do hedgehogs, imaginary fireworks, DUIs, and skeletal guitars have in common? You guessed it: Florida Man Shenanigans!

Hello, Lovelies! This week, Ashley tells us all about Brynhild Paulsdatter Størseth, AKA Belle Gunness. Belle was a notorious Norwegian-American serial killer who made it clear that “triflers need not apply” to die. Join us as we discover who Ashley was in a previous life and Tiffany tries desperately to make Belle a southern woman.

It finally happened… The Ladies covered the same topic! Mollie Fancher, the Brooklyn Enigma, is fascinating enough to peak both ladies' interest. Join us as we discuss the Victorian Fasting Girls, who claimed to be able to survive without eating or drinking for extended periods of time.

Hello, Lovelies! Want to learn about Ashley's greatest fears? Well, join us this week as Tiffany teaches us about self-mummifying monks, also known as Sokushinbutsu. Who doesn't want to quit eating and drinking before being buried alive? (Ashley. The answer is most definitely Ashley.)

Hello, Lovelies! Time for a throw-back to our Salem and Torture episodes as we discuss the Joshua Ward House and all the terror that goes along with it. George Corwin, the High Sheriff of Essex County, played a major role in the Salem Witch Trials. Spoiler alert: it wasn't a good role. Now, his soul, and the souls of his victims, haunt the house built on the land he owned.

Hello, Lovelies! Are you sick of Valentine's Day? Are you bitter about love? Let us help create your Tinder profile and turn things around for you. Until then, join us as we tell you two very different Bad Romance stories.

Hope ya'll are ready for a "Random Facts with the Ladies" episode that is full of tangents and our opinions on the Elf on the Shelf.

Hello, Lovelies! Ever heard of John Brinkley? Well, let Rebecca ruin your day. (Actually, blame the intern, he wrote these notes) Brinkley had a dream. A dream to become a doctor. After much... persistence?... he finally made it? Ok, it was totally not legit. Did that stop him from using goat genitalia from treating patients? No. Concerned? You should be. Please join us as Rebecca ruins Ashley's day and Tiffany keeps count of how many times Rebecca says "Goat Balls".

Hello, Lovelies! Rebecca was in the middle of moving (don't worry, the cats are adjusting fine, thanks for asking) so we're pulling in a ringer this week by releasing a previous patron exclusive during which we talk about tarot! If you can get past the 10 minutes of Rebecca frantically trying to use math to explain things (I mean, how else would she explain anything?) shit gets real real fast this episode. We still don't know why decks of cards like to poke at feelings until you call for mercy, but they do and we have opinions on it.

Hello, Lovelies! This week we're bringing you three medical stories! (yes, Rebecca was very happy to talk medical subjects two weeks in a row)

Hello, Lovelies! Rebecca is experiencing life to the fullest right now (translation: she's stressed tf out) so, our intern has stepped in and provided an episode that is sure to make you laugh, cry, and maybe rage because you aren't a pompous ass and yet your life isn't as successful as this butthead's life is. Join us as we (all) discover who Karl May was and why his name is noteworthy. (Hint: it's related to Hitler)

Hello, Lovelies! This week Tiffany finds a way to sneak in a topic Rebecca specifically told her not to cover. Join us as we discuss Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss, the man who kill President James A.

Hello, Lovelies! This month we got crafty! From old hobbies to new passions, we talk about our experiences and what we like about making stuff.

Hello, Lovelies! Look, Rebecca isn't being lazy with the title, she just wasn't the one who edited this episode and therefore has no idea what's about to happen. (Could she listen to it before hand? Maybe. Could she instead go back to Breath Of The Wild? Absolutely yes.) This week we had the incredible CK join Ashley and Tiffany!

She was an aspiring actress, but unfortunately became known as the Black Dahlia.
