Hysteria 51

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.

This week on Hysteria 51: The truth is out there... and apparently so is the urine.

Minnesota, we need to talk. Seriously. What the hell is going on up there?! This week, the Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes the Land of 10,000 Questions as Hysteria 51 dives into two bizarre news stories involving mysterious objects falling from the sky and a college professor who apparently never learned what bathrooms are for.

First up, an 11-foot-wide ...

What if the aliens aren’t coming from space because they never left Earth?

Enter the Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis, the strange and surprisingly thoughtful idea that at least some UFOs, UAPs, alien encounters, and unexplained phenomena could be connected to an advanced intelligence native to our own planet.

We’re talking hidden civilizations, underwater bases, ancient human offshoots, unknown terrestrial species, USOs, the...

We are digging into the coffers this week for a classic Mad Blurry Hysteria with the crazy doc himself, Chris Cogswell!

Brent is out this week, which means Kevin Crispin of Behind Beautiful Things has been handed the keys to Hysteria 51. This was a terrible administrative decision.

First up: a Virginia driver gets caught allegedly doing nearly 50 mph over the speed limit and reaches deep into the Big Book of Excuses to blame the one force powerful enough to override traffic laws: McDonald’s breakfast. Was the Egg McMuffin getting cold? Were the...

Last week, Hysteria 51 went knocking on one of the most infamous locked doors in UFO history.

This week, somebody finally opens the darn thing.

We’re heading back to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and picking up the alleged story of a technical specialist who claimed he was secretly transported to a restricted facility filled with technology nobody could identify, machinery scientists were supposedly ordered to reverse-enginee...

Science has finally answered the question nobody was brave enough to ask: what if the cockroach crawling toward you was actually a paramedic? Researchers are developing remote-controlled cyborg roaches capable of crawling through disaster rubble, locating survivors, and even delivering lifesaving injections. It’s innovative. It’s brilliant. And it guarantees you’ll never confidently swat another bug again.

This week on Hysteria 51, Mother Nature is acting strange... and one guy is acting much, much stranger.

First, a massive floating island covered in trees suddenly appears in British Columbia’s Williston Reservoir, drifts around like it forgot where it parked, disappears, and then turns up miles away. Scientists have explanations involving debris, rising water, and vegetation, but we prefer to believe Canada has finally develop...

A landed flying saucer. A mysterious humanoid pilot. A frozen Italian glacier. Multiple photographs. And a 1952 UFO encounter that still gets passed around social media today as some of the clearest evidence of extraterrestrial visitation ever captured. Sounds pretty darn convincing, right?

    DISGRACELAND

    DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com. To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla.
