Podcasts about weirdness

Send us a textIf you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting health advice out there, this episode is for you!This week on Learning to Glow, I sit down with Jenn Trepeck, health coach and host of the Salad with a Side of Fries podcast, to talk about how to find a balanced, realistic approach to wellness — without fad diets or extreme rules.Jenn shares her personal journey of breaking free from the cycle of dieting and discovering what actually works for her body. We talk about why starting your day with a healthy, protein-packed breakfast can help balance your blood sugar (and your mood!), how sleep impacts your hunger hormones, and why small, consistent habits are more powerful than any big overnight change.You'll also hear simple, actionable tips — like setting alarms to remind yourself of healthy habits, prepping the night before for a smoother morning, and experimenting to see what works best for you.If you're ready to stop overthinking wellness and start feeling better with realistic, doable changes, you're going to love this conversation.

All metaphysical theories are…really weird. In episode 134 of Overthink, Ellie and David chat with Eric Schwitzgebel about his book Weirdness of the World. They think through the difference between weirdness and bizarreness, the nonsensical nature of philosophical theories, and whether we should all just agree with Occam's razor that the simplest explanation is always best.Is the recent theory that we're all living in a simulation really that strange? Is it stranger than the idealist metaphysics of Plato or the atomism of Lucretius? And why are philosophical theories doomed to weirdness? Are we the weird ones, or do we just live in a weird world? In the bonus your hosts talk about the butterfly effect and the infinitude of the universe, and how neurodivergent traits can be rewarded in philosophy.Works Discussed:Graham Harman, Weird Realism: Lovecraft and Philosophy Eric Schwitzgebel, Weirdness of the WorldSupport the showPatreon | patreon.com/overthinkpodcast Website | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast

The Superstition Mountains hold many mysteries, lost treasure, headless humans. We will be doing a mini series on this area and the legends, high strangeness and interesting individuals from the push westward that make the area so fascinating and unique. In this episode we'll be relating stories of a mysterious race of humanoids who may inhabit the known tunnel system under the mountains or travel there from other realms. This is the story of the Lizard men of The Supes.

History remembers him as the Father of the Country… but history also forgets to mention the glowing orb that gave him tactical advice in the woods, or the ghost stories that still linger in his bedroom like a powdered-wig hangover. This week on Creep Street, the Hosts travel to the frozen hellscape of Valley Forge, where General George Washington faced hunger, frostbite, and a floating orb that supposedly carried battle-savvy Green Men. Then it's off to Mount Vernon, where visitors report spectral punch bowl ladies, disgruntled phantom directors, and keys jingling from the beyond. Pack your muskets and your metaphysics! Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for Weir Washington & The Haunting of Mount Vernon! Music and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic ++++ Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=shared TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast #HauntedAmerica #GhostStories #SupernaturalEncounters #AmericanHauntings #RevolutionaryWarGhosts #GhostsOfMountVernon #WashingtonsGhost #HauntedPlaces #GeorgeWashington #ValleyForge #MountVernon #ColonialHistory #AmericanRevolution #FoundingFathers #HistoryNerd #HistoricMysteries #CreepStreetPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #HistoryPodcast #SpookyStories #GhostLore #TrueTalesOfTerror #CreepyHistory #HauntedHistory

It's the start of a new NBA year! And it hasn't been a good start for the Kings. The Kings started out by losing Jake LaRavia and then trading Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets for Dario Saric. They then got into a long recruiting process with Dennis Schroder which ended with them signing him for 3 year $45 million.Not the most splashy first 36 or so hours. Let's see if the Kings can cook up something in the coming days and/or weeks and months.Owen also talks about the bizarre CM Punk stuff in Saudi Arabia.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

About Derek SiversDerek Sivers has worn many hats, musician, entrepreneur, author, and philosopher, but his work maintains a single throughline: a relentless pursuit of living deliberately. He first found success by founding CD Baby, an indie music platform that revolutionized digital distribution before he sold it for over $20 million and donated most of the proceeds. Since then, he's become a bestselling author of books like Anything You Want, Hell Yeah or No, and Useful Not True, each filled with punchy, poetic wisdom earned from experience. In this episode, we explore how to treat your life like a design problem, why marketing is part of the art, and how vulnerability and weirdness aren't liabilities—they're the keys to resonance. Whether you're building a company, making games, or just trying to figure out how to live a more meaningful life, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and invite you to take that first small but deliberate step.

What is the art of creative weirdness? What are some great examples of creative weirdness, and how can YOU tap into your own creative weirdness when you are creating art (of any kind)? What is the ONE situation in which creative weirdness is NOT effective? Does art NEED to be “weird” in order to be powerful and incredible? What social commentary and feminist lenses can we view mainstream blockbuster action movies like Die Hard and Top Gun? We answer all of these questions and more in this episode of the Author Diary Entries podcast! We collectively, as a society, do NOT share our weirdness enough! So let's talk about that today, through the lens of creative weirdness in TV (this is essentially a rave review of Z Nation), creative weirdness in performance art (burlesque dancing and what makes the burlesque community so special in general), and creative weirdness in novels (My Lady Jane). Resources mentioned in this episode: Small Town Stilettos and the Polyamorous Passions series: SaganMorrow.com/books Sagan's burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Solopreneur Diary Entries weekly newsletter: SaganMorrow.com/newsletter How to Active Your Intuition (to reconnect with yourself and create space for your creative weirdness to flourish) masterclass: SaganMorrow.com/masterclass Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Support the show

Get ready for an episode that dives into the depths of ancient spiritual warfare! We welcome back Dr. Merrill Greene, a scholar whose groundbreaking research explores the protective rituals of the Qumran community. From apotropaic magic (yep, we learned a new word) to exorcisms, we discuss how ancient Jewish practices influenced early Christianity and what that means for us today.

The Ochelli Effect 4-30-2025 Personal Weirdness The NEW WEEKLY READER OCHELLI EFFECT FRONT PAGEIS LIVE!!!https://ochelli.com/your-weekly-reader-ochelli-effect-style/MORE ARTICLES FROM VARIOUS AUTHORS COMING TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU!!!DISL Automatic - The Ambush (Lyric Video)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odCeRJ3Bb7YOchelli Asked DeepSeek a question. Here's what the text AI bot said,Chuck Ochelli's Legacy in MediaIf Chuck Ochelli dies tomorrow how will his work and he be remembered?Chuck Ochelli, the host of The Ochelli Effect, has built a niche but dedicated following through his long-form interviews, deep dives into conspiracy theories, geopolitics, and countercultural topics. If he were to pass away tomorrow, his legacy would likely be remembered in a few key ways:1. As a Maverick Independent Researcher & InterviewerOchelli's work exists outside mainstream media, appealing to those skeptical of conventional narratives. He would be remembered for:    In-Depth Conversations – His willingness to engage with controversial figures and explore fringe theories in detail.    Eclectic Topics – Covering everything from JFK assassination theories to deep-state conspiracies, UFOs, and alternative history.    Platform for Outsider Voices – Giving a microphone to researchers, journalists, and thinkers often excluded from traditional outlets.2. As Part of the Alternative Media LandscapeHis show contributed to the broader "truth-seeking" community, alongside figures like Alex Jones, James Corbett, or Russ Baker. While not as widely known, his audience would likely memorialize him as an underappreciated investigator who asked tough questions.3. Potential for Posthumous InterestDepending on how his archives are maintained, his work could see a resurgence if:    A major story he covered gains new traction (e.g., new JFK files, UFO disclosures).    Fellow researchers and listeners compile his best episodes into a curated legacy project.4. Mixed ReactionsAs with many figures in conspiracy/alternative media:    Supporters would praise his fearlessness and depth.    Critics might dismiss him as a purveyor of unverified claims.    Mainstream Obituaries (if any) would likely focus on his role in fringe media without deep engagement.5. Memorials Within the CommunityFellow podcasters, guests, and listeners would likely organize tributes—perhaps a special episode featuring past collaborators reflecting on his influence.Final ThoughtChuck Ochelli's legacy would endure primarily within alternative media circles, where his work is valued for its depth and willingness to tackle taboo subjects. Whether his contributions gain wider recognition would depend on how his archives are preserved and whether any of his long-discussed theories ever gain mainstream validation.---On X an account claiming to be low key Elon Musk selecting "fans" randomly to interact with contacted Ochelli. The user asked if Chuck used Signal or Telegram to message and even sent a voice message on X. So Chuck plays that voice message for you tonight, and he signed up for the now infamous Signal App. just to see what happens next. Chuck on Signal ChatNewly Created Unsecure Point of ContactOchelliEffect.13https://signal.me/#eu/2IB1UjwfCEv08mqO-o1TtgrJF5pBvUGtKPXx77MWYPc9NKeoI59DCbltQo_uvqRZThe home of Elon Musk's SpaceX could become an official Texas city called Starbasehttps://apnews.com/article/starbase-musk-spacex-texas-city-vote-f17e2980756e9129b416022729bd67acEmail Chuck or PayPalblindjfkresearcher@gmail.comBE THE EFFECTListen/Chat on the Sitehttps://ochelli.com/listen-live/TuneInhttp://tun.in/sfxkxAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/us/station/ochelli-com/ra.1461174708Ochelli Link Treehttps://linktr.ee/chuckochelli

What's the most important thing we can all do to be happy? According to my guest on this episode, it's embracing the thing that made us weird as kids. 

Singer, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Emma-Jean Thackray joins Chrystal Genesis to talk about her new album, Weirdo, an ambitious, deeply personal project written, performed, produced, mixed, and arranged entirely by Emma-Jean in her South London flat.  In this episode, they discuss how grief, neurodivergence, and resilience shaped the record, which blends elements of jazz, funk, soul, grunge, and pop. They explore her early path into musicianship, how isolation and creativity came together in the making of Weirdo, and why embracing your weirdness can create a powerful sense of self. The conversation touches on vulnerability, community, and finding your home in music, with tracks from Weirdo, out now via Brownswood Recordings and Parlophone Records, featured throughout.

In this wild and weird episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers shares two firsthand accounts of high strangeness — and they're both absolute head-scratchers. First up: Alysia, a loyal Patreon supporter, recalls the unforgettable night she saw the Easter Bunny… but not the costume-clad kind. We're talking tall, furry, lifelike, and wearing yellow shoes and a bow tie. Was it an alien? A childhood manifestation? An actual cryptid rabbit delivering baskets? We don't know, and that's the point. Then we travel to Carson City, Nevada, in the Reno Tahoe Territory. At The Fox Brewery and Pub, located inside the historic and allegedly haunted St. Charles Hotel, Aaron sits down with a Nevada Deputy Attorney General who goes on the record with a chilling tale of paranormal activity and strange encounters on Lake Tahoe, involving odd entities, and maybe something in the water. This episode is packed with high weirdness, haunted history, and the reminder that — sometimes — it's okay to not have all the answers. _______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.
