EPISODE 12:

Welcome back to The Oddities Department, where the paperwork is optional and the back halls are absolutely not OSHA-compliant.

This week’s unauthorized tour proves, once again, that history is just humanity repeatedly making eye contact with bad decisions and proceeding anyway.

Inside tonight’s crate:

A scandal-prone French medium who convinced actual scientists she was producing ghost goo… while fully naked.
A powerful Korean king who could command armies but couldn’t stop historians from documenting the day he absolutely ate dirt.
The Bavaria Beer Riots of 1844 — when Munich collectively chose violence over beverage pricing.
Ten wildly avoidable historical deaths that will make you question natural selection’s patience.
A medical deep dive into retrograde menstruation (yes, it goes the other way).
And the jaw-dropping case of Suze Lopez — who went in for tumor surgery and discovered a full-term abdominal pregnancy nobody saw coming.

It’s weird.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s aggressively educational.

And as always… it somehow gets worse.
