Hysteria 51
Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.

It’s time to dive deep (literally) into the icy mysteries of Europa, Jupiter’s frozen moon that might just be the cosmic Atlantis. We’re cracking the ice on Europa’s potential subsurface ocean and asking the big questions: Are alien squids plotting to overthrow Earth?
