The Paranoid Style Podcast

The Paranoid Style Podcast

Hey, Listener! Are you the NSA? Do you love/hate conspiracy theories? Is your earth flat, hollow, or 200 years behind schedule? Each week your hosts will delve into a subject that is weird, wacky, unbelievable, and sometimes even true! From giant owl statues to Komodo dragon assassins, super soldiers to merry pranksters, bad eggs to X-Files. We talk about those holes in the "Official Story" where strange mysteries, convoluted explanations, or bizarre speculations slip in to fill the gaps. Our goal is not to convert, it's to entertain!

Dear Boss: The Paranoid Style Podcast is BACK!  And this week we're discussing one of the most infamous serial killings in history, the strange and horrible case of Jack the Ripper. We're a little Sherlock Holmes, a little Criminal Minds, and a whole lotta confused about the internal organs of the human body. But we won't let our bewilderment stop us from dipping a toe into the tuberculosis ridden waters of Ripperolo...

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! This week we're waxing extemporaneous… That's right! It's another one of our free-wheelin', rule-bustin' Extemporaneous Style episodes! On this episode we realize that we need to get out of the house more when the best thing we can think to talk about is our favorite flavor potato chips and we can't believe what the night sky looks like. We also discuss the result...

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! It's an Extemporaneous Style episode! Some might call it the Hot Mess Express, we prefer to think of it as the Balmy Erratic Slow Coach.

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is CURSED!!! I mean, even more than usual! We're looking into cursed movies, where the only thing more dangerous on the set than the critics reviews are the mysterious deaths, injuries and spooky occurrences. From Pazuzu to Pizzookies,  from demonic diapers to possessed but plucky tweens, from Mia Farrow to Zoe Saldana, no wait, neither of us have seen the remake. What an excellent day for ...

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is back with Part 2 of The Beatles - Paul Is Dead! We keep scouring The Beatles’ discography for the clues that will break this case wide open. From India to Abbey Road. From the black mass rites of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, to the shade thrown on How Do You Sleep? From the Manson’s Family’s Helter-Skelter to the walrus, who we’re pretty sure wasn’t Paul. Oh! And did we mention that this time playing ...

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is suffering from Beatlemania! We're looking into the enduring mystery that is Paul Is Dead. Is it possible that a beloved icon like Paul McCartney could have died back in 1966 and been replaced with a very convincing lookalike? And that the only thing standing between the public and the truth are the cryptic clues left behind by the other band members? From Merseyside to Hamburg. From Nove...

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is forcing an unexpected reboot on the world… The Simulation Theory! We look into all the reasons you might have to believe that the nature of existence is just a very sophisticated MMORPG. From philosopher’s caves to physics’ double slits. From The Matrix to Mandela, simulacrum to Silly Putty. We're embracing our Non-Player Character status and just waiting for the next software update to ...
