This Strange World

By: Gavin Berger Leah Ettinger and Chris Ashe
  • Summary

  • The world is a strange place. From creepy conspiracy theories, to weird laws, to terrifying cults, this podcast explores them all. Each week, one of our hosts takes a deep dive into a strange, weird, and random topic, and discusses what they found with the other hosts.

    Gavin, Leah, and Chris are three college graduates who started This Strange World as a project for class, but became so interested in learning more about strange topics that they decided to make it for real. Join them on their journey as they try to make sense of This Strange World.

  • Cryptids: The Truly Ridiculous Ones
    Oct 26 2022

    The time has come, the culmination of spooky season is upon us. To wrap up our Cryptids season, we decided to have some fun and talk about some straight up ridiculous cryptids, so ridiculous it’s hard to believe anyone thought they were real. We also take a personality quiz to see what cryptids we are! (Hint: The results may surprise you.)

  • Cryptids: West Virginia
    Oct 19 2022

    We’re just passed halfway through spooky season, which means we’re halfway through our four bonus episodes in our Cryptids season! For our third bonus episode (and twelfth true episode) in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about cryptids from the state of West Virginia! There were truly so many from this one state that we felt they deserved their own episode. (Hint: If your state has more than one museum dedicated to a cryptid, you might have a problem.)

For our second bonus episode (and eleventh true episode) in our Cryptids season, we’re going to talk about some creatures that used to be classified as cryptids, but have been proven to be real! Otherwise known as former cryptids proven real. (Hint: You might not even realize that some of these used to be creatures of legends! Listen to find out!)
