Advertise on podcast: It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we begin a discussion about the life and work of Karla Turner, a well-respected member of the UFO community whose own experiences with alien abduction drove her to dive headfirst into research. How did Turner come to abandon her life in academia to pursue UFO truth? And what sort of framework has she developed for investigating the phenomenon? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle returns to learn all about the Phoebus Cartel, an infamous group of international businesses who once worked together to rig lightbulb manufacturing. Price fixing, planned obsolescence, and shady business deals, oh my! Who is behind the cartel and how were they able to seize control of the lightbulb industry? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there, Weirdos! This week Jules and Nile sit down to discuss a pressing issue of the day, the Pig-Man. Whether its in Cannock Chase or in Northfield, Pig-Men are standing in forests and scaring many a person and we are going to get to the bottom of it.

This week Jules and Nile finish out the docuseries "D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?" and discuss the further adventures of team Tom Colbert and his retiree investigative squad. We also hear more about the modern online culture of the Cooperites, and a delightful Canadian comic theory related to the identity of Dan Cooper

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Jules and Nile tackle the first two episodes of a four-episode docuseries on D.B. Cooper and the various people who have tried to solve the mystery. Is this series good? Is D.B. Cooper a secret CIA asset who now has a very cute Westie? Can Jules and Nile recount the whole plot of Without a Paddle from memory? All this and much more in this week's It Gets Weird!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we took a dive into the "Lacerta transcripts," a text that supposedly documents a meeting between a human and one of the inner-earth Reptilian aliens known as the Lacerta. What did Ole K. learn about Reptilian society and biology? Is an entire lizard world living alongside humanity in the Earth's core? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we decided to try our best to talk about cryptozoological frogs, but we admit we were easily distracted in this one. We think the Flashlight Frog would have been finally revealed to the world if a certain cryptozoologist hadn't been distracted, as well! We also investigate behemoth of a frog-creature: the Crocodile Frog of Borneo. All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're celebrating the ten year anniversary of It Gets Weird by talking about John F. Kennedy, the world's most normal president who died in an extremely normal way surrounded by a cast of completely normal characters...or did he? That's right, this week we're doing a special XL episode discussing the bizarre world of JFK assassination conspiracies. All this and much more!

Kyle and Nile are traveling and so we are unlocking the first episode of our Patreon series on The Prisoner for the main feed! Check out our discussion of this surreal sci-fi classic with friend of the show (and devotee of the series), Jules as we try to get to the bottom of what's going on in this mysterious village

Jules and Nile watch a documentary about the supposed events that the Wicker Man is inspired by. However the documentary is maybe not as inspiring as we'd hoped. Check out all our thoughts on mid 20th century british occultism and the exploration of the last occult sacrifice in british history.......kinda......maybe?

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we ask a question that somehow didn't occur to us for about a decade: who took the first UFO photo? Well, it's possible it was a man named William Rhodes, depending on who you ask. Did this guy really take the first photograph of a flying saucer all the way back in 1947, hot off the heels of Kenneth Arnold's original sighting? Did Air Force Intelligence try to smear Rhodes as a kook, and if so, why? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we're chock full of ghosts, spooks, ghosts, ghouls, specters, and so on. This week we visit one of THE most haunted locations in the United States, and based on the horror stories surrounding the place it's easy to imagine angry spirits roaming the halls. What is the history behind the Trans-Allegheny Asylum and how did it earn its reputation for being extremely haunted? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we investigate a classic conspiracy that was propagated online in the mid-2010s: the disappearance of Kenny Veach and the mysterious "M Cave." Who was Kenny Veach and how did he disappear that fateful day in 2014? Where is the so-called "M Cave" and is it connected to UFOs? Or perhaps a grander military conspiracy? We discuss all this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Nile takes us to the freezing waters of the Antarctic where a crew of Japanese sailors witnessed none other than...a Godzilla. Well, a godzilla-esque cryptid, at least. And its name IS officially Antarctic Godzilla, so there's that. What fuzzy, dorsal fin-having beast lurks in these cold ocean waters and can it propel itself fifty feet into the air by rocketing out of the ocean? Or is this a tall tale that spread through folklore and mistranslation? All this and much more!

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week Kyle and Nile got together to check out a very, very fresh documentary.

Covering a variety of bizarre occurrences such as mysterious disappearances, cryptid sightings, UFO experiences, and more supernatural hijinks all concentrated in the forests of Vermont. Is this doc a thumbs up or a thumbs down? Listen and find out!
