Journey to the Fringe

In this episode we’re checking in on a guy who really doesn't have much going for him these days: Regular Person Andy—or, as the courts are graciously calling him now, Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor.

We dive into the hilarious and infuriating BBC drop revealing that Buckingham Palace has been sitting on a stash of 30,000 controversial emails since 2020. It turns out Andy was acting as a "trade envoy" by sharing confidential gov...

Ummm viewer discretion advised, I hope the name of the episode kinda implied that but there is a story of sexual assault near the end of the episode.

A deep dive into one of cryptozoology’s most taboo topics: Bigfoot genitalia. From the Patterson–Gimlin film’s famous “Patty” to the bizarre Redwood Incident, Albert Ostman’s abduction claims, and a shocking Bigfoot encounter on the California coast...

The Darvaza gas crater — the so‑called “Gates of Hell” — is finally dimming after more than 50 years of nonstop burning. But as the flames shrink, the mystery grows. Is this a sign of environmental recovery, a warning of something worse, or just another strange chapter in Central Asia’s most famous accident? We dig into the science, the speculation, and the weird history behind one of Earth’s str...

This week, we dive beak‑first into the strange world of paranormal owls- the omens, the aliens, the witches, the cryptids, and the downright unsettling human‑faced hooters lurking in folklore and modern encounters. We trace these feathered weirdos from ancient symbolism to screen‑memory UFO sightings, shapeshifters, and high‑strangeness moments that follow people home. It’s eerie, it’s funny, it’s deeply uncomfort...

What starts out being a disapointing episode about a decision to euthanise our beloved cocaine hippos, turns into an episode about sky quakes....This episode is about sky quakes.

See ya Friday.

A chilling journey through Arctic folklore and forgotten science—where dinosaur bones, frozen wilderness, and Indigenous oral history blur the line between myth and prehistory.

In this episode, we trek into the icy reaches of Siberia and northern Canada to uncover tales of “dinosaur ghosts”—creatures said to roam the Arctic long after extinction should have claimed them. From early 20th‑century reports of Cer...

A man claims dolphins kidnapped him for underwater slave labour — and somehow, that’s not the weirdest part. Dive into the viral Gerald the Dolphin saga and the strange ecosystem of hoaxes that thrive beneath the waves.

When a viral article insists a man was abducted by dolphins and forced to build an underwater city, it’s easy to laugh — until you realize how deep the story goes. In this episode, we unpack t...

It's the final episode of The Manhattan Alien Abduction and what more could we have to say, you might ask? Well, more than the other two episodes!

In this episode, we're dissecting the "case of the century" to see if it actually holds water or if we’ve all been sold a brilliantly crafted work of fiction. We pull back the curtain on the staggering "coincidences" that plague this investigation, including a 1989 sci-fi novel tha...

In this Journey to the Fringe mini, we’re dealing with some heavy "emoceans"—literally. The Big Easy is officially facing a terminal diagnosis thanks to rising sea levels, and politicians are keeping quiet because nobody wants to be the one to tell a city to pack its bags. We dive into the murky logistics of relocating an entire population, the dread of billionaire-funded replacement cities, and the most pressing questi...

In Part 2 of our Manhattan Alien Abduction saga, the story swan‑dives from UFO mystery into full‑blown interdimensional telenovela as Richard and Dan return—not as witnesses, but as unhinged kidnappers, interrogators, and self‑appointed alien‑hybrid inspectors with a fixation on feet and a talent for writing way too many letters. Linda is dragged through luxury‑car abductions, beach‑house melodrama, telepathic love confession...

In this Fringey Mini, we dive straight into the breakfast‑flavoured multiverse as FEMA’s disaster chief Gregg Phillips insists he once involuntarily teleported — car and all — to a Waffle House 50 miles away. As we walk through the article’s mix of conspiratorial history, political outbursts, and eyebrow‑raising leadership decisions, we can’t help but marvel at Phillips’ own dramatic retelling: a...

We crack open Part 1 of the Manhattan Alien Abduction saga by stepping straight into the strange, the dramatic, and the deeply 1989. Linda Napolitano’s story arrives wrapped in hypnosis sessions, floating nightgowns, blue tractor beams, and a suspiciously busy letter‑writing campaign from two supposed cops who may or may not exist outside Bud Hopkins’ filing cabinet. As Linda recounts being pulled from her 12th‑floor ap...

This mini ee dive headfirst into the Daily Mail’s latest desert fever dream: the claim that a second Sphinx is hiding under a big ol’ mound of “hardened sand” on the Giza Plateau. According to an Italian researcher who revealed it on—of course—a podcast, satellite scans, geometric alignments, and a whole lot of confidence (somewhere between 80% and 100%, depending on the sentence) point to a buri...

The internet insists there’s a sinister pattern of “missing and dead scientists,” but when you actually look at the names on the list… things fall apart fast. In this episode, Taylor and Chelsie dig into the supposed wave of vanished NASA researchers, mysterious deaths, and government intrigue — only to discover a mess of bad data, normal statistics, and conspiracy theorists who never bothered to read...

A petri dish full of human brain cells is learning to play DOOM — and somehow that’s not even the strangest part. This week, we dive into Cortical Labs’ “DishBrain,” the hybrid biological‑AI system trained to navigate a classic video game. Is this a scientific breakthrough, a philosophical nightmare, or the moment the singularity decided to speedrun humanity? Journey with us as we unpack the tech, the ...

Today we examine the first half of the viral “11 missing scientists” list, breaking down each case . Many of the stories involve grief, health struggles, or non‑scientists swept into a conspiracy narrative. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a local crisis line or someone you trust.

In this week’s episode of Journey to the Fringe, we take a careful, unsensational look at the viral narrative claiming th...

A reflective Fringey Mini on the sudden death of David Wilcock — his final livestream, the speculation that followed, and the very real human struggles behind it all. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a local crisis line or someone you trust. In North America the phone number is 988.

In this Fringey Mini, we take a quiet moment to acknowledge the sudden and heartbreaking death of David Wilcock — a figure wh...

You're going to want to stick around until this end on this one, Chelsie will give you whiplash with all the twists and turns on an episode to do with Lloyd Pye (not Lord).

Was the Starchild Skull a 900-year-old alien hybrid or a tragic medical mystery? We dive into Pye’s "Everything You Know is Wrong" manifesto, the "Vancouver Dentist" DNA saga, and the "water-wolf" evolution of whales. By the end, we’re moving past th...

This week, we unpack new SETI research suggesting that space weather might be scrambling alien messages before they ever reach Earth — solar winds, plasma bursts, and coronal tantrums turning technosignatures into static. Between riffs on human hubris, cosmic interference, and the idea that the universe might’ve sent us straight to voicemail, we ask the real question: what if first contact already happened, and we just ...
