  • Summary

  • In a world where societal norms and taboos often dictate what can and cannot be discussed, “Oddcast - Stuff that No One Talks about!” aims to challenge these boundaries and foster open and honest conversations around topics that are often considered too "odd" or controversial to address openly.

    Our podcast series is a platform for exploring the unexplored, uncovering the unspoken, and unravelling the complexities that lie beneath the surface of our societal fabric. We believe that by shedding light on these often-overlooked subjects, we can promote greater awareness, understanding, and ultimately, positive change.

    Each episode will delve into a different taboo topic, ranging from unconventional relationships and alternative lifestyles to mental health struggles from loss of near ones, unconventional career paths, and societal prejudices. We strive to present diverse perspectives, challenge preconceived notions, and provide a safe space for candid discussions.
