Our Weird World
Each week, host John Hinson takes a look at weird, crazy, and forgotten stories from the history of humankind. He tries to put some humor into it, or he's just an apathetic dick - that's up to you to decide.
Episodes
This week we're looking at two stories of very prolific serial killers from Germany's early history. Are these stories completely true? Probably not, but they're still weird.

This show was a train wreck, but we made it through. We for real end Women's History Month the only way we know how - completely irreverently.

Kids are creepy. This week's episode looks at three stories where kids were extra creepy. There's also a weird Josef Fritzl tangent that I do not apologize for.

WOW! We made it 100 episodes of this dumb little show. To celebrate, I took every single liquor in my cabinet, mixed it together, and drank it extremely too fast. I'm not sure if this episode even makes sense, but here it is. Enjoy.

I get it - this entire show was built on people dying. But this episode is different, because these deaths weren't the result of war, serial killers, or anything relatively more ordinary. These deaths were...weird.

Can people just randomly burst into flames and die? Maybe it doesn't happen exactly like that, but this week we look at three stories where it seems like that's just what happened.

Hosted by Laura Beil (Dr. Death, Bad Batch), Sympathy Pains is a six-part series from Neon Hum Media and iHeartRadio. For 20 years, Sarah Delashmit told people around her that she had cancer, muscular dystrophy, and other illnesses. She used a wheelchair and posted selfies from a hospital bed. She told friends and coworkers she was trapped in abusive relationships, or that she was the mother of children who had died. It was all a con. Sympathy was both her great need and her powerful weapon. But unlike most scams, she didn’t want people’s money. She was after something far more valuable.
