Digging into history. And a few eggshells. As we continue our 31 days of Odd News stories, we the podcast travel to Spain. Well, not actually, but we'll talk about people who did.

Let's dive into things a bit deeper, shall we? First up, we'll have a look at researchers in Spain who have gone to great lengths, and heights, to do some archeological research. But these investigators aren't chipping away at rocks or digging into sand while some guy wearing a fedora just looks on. No. Too bad, because that would be odd, too. These researchers are taking advantage of the traits of some winged creatures and their habits. You'll have to tune in to hear exactly what these feathered hoarders managed to get their beaks on!

Welcome to the latest edition of our annual 31-part series, were we track down truly Odd News. In today's story, we meet a Texas retiree who is determined to secure a beautifully upgraded piece of automotive history: a 1962 Ford F-100. Not only has it been restored, but it has also been modified; a process that results in a "rustomod". It's kind of like the Bionic Man, but for cars. Anyway, our Texan journeyed 660 miles to get his dream vehicle. But we'll tell you all about it in just a few minutes.. Then, to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC), we've dug up a classic clip that is as relevant and absurd today as it was in 2015. Host Bob Dunster interviews the inimitable Professor Wilfred Q. Pasternakle. They discuss the unique campaigning problems that arise when over 600 people run for President. Listen as he lays out his ridiculous theory and makes a stunning prediction about the ultimate winner. Stay streets ahead and listen to the full episode of comedy4cast, "660 Miles".

A ride for the person who needs everything. "Odd News PAC" is back! This time with a story about an SUV that is MORE than you need. But, since the Dog Days of Podcasting event is over for 2025, we'll be bringing you the remainder of this year's 31 Odd News stories with a totally made-up event: "Dog Days of Pumpkin Spice Season."  In today's Odd News story, we're taking a look at a luxury vehicle that seems to have a few too many bells and whistles. What started as a partnership between a high-end automaker and a luxury appliance brand has resulted in a sort of Frankenstein-ish one-of-a-kind sports utility vehicle: the Lexus Monogram GX. It's perfect for a road trip. If, that is, you don't mind a little less space for passengers and cargo. In addition, as part of our Platinum Anniversary Celebration, marking 20 years of comedy4cast, we're pulling a classic episode out of the vault. Get ready to graduate with the Marx Brothers! This clip is from an episode that was released in 2006. It envisions Groucho as Professor Rufus T. Serenity giving a bizarre commencement speech. And, of course, Chico and Harpo are there too. There's even a Margaret Dumont-type foil ! Tune in to find out what strange and luxurious features are packed into this one-of-a-kind vehicle, and get a dose of classic comedy! Lending their voice in this episode is Bonnie Kenderdine. >> Guest Star: Bonnie Kenderdine>> You can also support comedy4cast by becoming a patron on Patreon>> Or you can get Clinton a Dunkin' card or a cup of coffee via Ko-Fi>> Follow comedy4cast on BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook, MeWe, and Mastodon >> Give us a call via the Super Secret Phone Line (213) 290-4451>> Also check out Clinton's other podcast, The Topic is Trek>> Certain sounds effects heard on comedy4cast are courtesy of freeSFX and FreeSound.org Click here for a transcript of this episode.
