Welcome to the Inbox of Oddities, where the freaks write in and the universe delivers receipts. Inside Kat & Jethro’s inbox, the stories are weirder than fiction and more human than a wax museum marriage meltdown. Listeners write in with tales of time capsules that issue ominous relationship advice, McDonald's orders that align perfectly with the Boo Effect, and ghosts that wait until just after the photo op to let the camera work. This is where: 🦴 A family suggests a romantic day trip to a museum of bones and an immersive fever dream called Factory Obscura.🎧 A listener finds out about her breast cancer thanks to a podcast tangent and a snowball metaphor.🍔 A woman named Debbie from a real place called Tittybong, Australia, gets a McDonald’s code that literally spells “BBOO” while listening to Box of Oddities in a hospital parking lot.📚 A grammar snob gets absolutely humbled by Merriam-Webster.📦 A man rediscovers a cassette tape he buried in 1996, warning himself not to marry someone who hates museums.🐟 A boy once caught a trout with his nose, apparently.🧀 And someone wants to dress as “Shelly’s aunt” for Halloween, glowing blue and handing out cheese curds. No further context provided. And none needed. These are the unfiltered dispatches from the cult of curiosity, the church of weird, and the global freak family of The Box of Oddities. It’s like rummaging through a haunted junk drawer filled with love notes, medical mysteries, and cryptid keychains. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll maybe question the space-time continuum.This is Inbox of Oddities. 📬 Want in?
