    LIVE SHOW TIX HERE! Time Travel Insurance and Unusual Post-Funeral Food Traditions: Ever worried about getting stuck in the 17th century without proper coverage? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the curious 19th-century phenomenon of time travel insurance—yes, that was a real thing, and yes, people actually bought it. Spoiler: it did not cover paradoxes. Then, journey into the comforting yet curious world of funeral foods, from the delightfully savory to the downright head-scratching. Why do certain cultures serve pickled fish or cookies shaped like bones when someone dies? The answers are as flavorful as they are fascinating. Prepare for a double-serving of the bizarre and the bereaved, where historical absurdity meets culinary ritual. If you love strange history, macabre traditions, and the kind of podcast content that makes you blurt out “wait, WHAT?” in public, this episode is for you.

    See The Box Of Oddities Live! In this delightfully peculiar episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro explore two phenomena that are equal parts baffling and brilliant. First, the "Angels of Mons"—were they divine warriors, hallucinations, or just an epic case of wartime wishful thinking? Either way, something peculiar happened over those World War I trenches. Then: behold the annual crustacean apocalypse of Christmas Island, where millions of bright red crabs migrate en masse, overrunning roads, homes, and possibly your nightmares. It’s nature’s strangest traffic jam—and no one knows why they’re doing it. Expect ghosts, crustaceans, and confusion in equal measure. Prepare to question everything. Even your seafood preferences.

    Tickets to The Live Shows Here! In this episode of The Box of Oddities, we chip away at the icy mystery of Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin, a Swiss couple who vanished into thin air—only to reappear 75 years later like a very slow RSVP. Then, we time-travel to 18th-century Russia for the hilariously tragic reign of Peter III, a czar whose six-month stint makes your worst temp job look like a lifetime achievement. And finally, we tiptoe through Devon, England, where the Devil apparently went on a midnight jog in 1855—leaving behind some truly unsettling hoofprints that no one’s explained since. Get ready for frozen revelations, royal ridiculousness, and paranormal podiatry. It’s weird, it’s wild, it’s everything you listen to The Box of Oddities for.

    Live Show Tickets Here INBOX OF ODDITIES: - “The Ghost in the Toothbrush Cup” In this kaleidoscopic journey through the wonderfully weird, Kat and Jethro crack open the mailbag and unleash a cavalcade of listener tales that range from hilariously haunted to just plain chewy. A lazy terrier named Morris becomes an anti-hero during a rodent emergency, a haunted hearing aid refuses to let the afterlife be silent, and a fridge appears to be starting its own pickle-based cult. Also: a ghostly Bluetooth grandma, a time-slip at the DMV, a soup deity with a raccoon entourage, and a cat who might be a reincarnated Gregorian monk. Throw in a spectral rainbow telegram from Mom, a jingle-induced fugue state, and a faceless imaginary friend shared across state lines, and you’ve got yourself an Inbox episode bursting at the seams with deliciously odd correspondence from The Box of Oddities Freak Family. Do ghosts use Bluetooth? Did Grandma become a banshee? Is your fridge whispering secrets about Greg? Listen in and find out. You might just have a Boo Effect of your own. 📦👻 #HauntedHearingAid #SoupGod #MorrisTheDog #BooEffect #GhostsUseBluetooth #RaccoonProphet #PickleWhispers #MrButterbeanLives #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #ParanormalPets #WeirdListenerTales #DMVTimeWarp #CatChantChoir #SpectralSnacks Learn more about your ad choices.

    Fall Tour 2025 Tickets Here! Imagine controlling tech with your mind and watching a Viking ship burst through a flaming amphitheater — no, you're not dreaming. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro plug into the brain-bending world of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), where thought alone can type, move, and maybe even speak. It’s sci-fi made science — Elon wishes. Then, pack your imaginary passport for Puy du Fou. This French amusement park throws out roller coasters in favor of full-blown historical epics with live battles, wolves, and more costume changes than a Vegas revue. Think Renaissance Faire meets Michael Bay. From the cutting edge of neuroscience to the theatrical fever dream of medieval France, it’s a wild ride through human ingenuity, spectacle, and delightful weirdness. Plug in your brain, suspend your disbelief, and prepare to say, “Wait... that’s real?” #WeirdIsWonderful #BCI #PuyDuFou #OdditiesUnleashed #BrainTech #StrangeHistory #PodcastRecommendations #BoxOfOddities 1 Learn more about your ad choices.

    LIVE SHOW TICKETS HERE! Was Herophilus a medical pioneer… or Alexandria’s most ambitious serial dissector? In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro peel back the skin of history to examine the controversial legacy of Herophilus, the so-called “father of anatomy,” who may have blurred the line between science and something far more disturbing. Then: meet Vaughn Meader, the fastest-rising comedian of the 1960s—whose uncanny JFK impression made him a star… until one world-shaking moment erased him from fame almost overnight. From ancient scalpels to presidential satire, this episode explores the bizarre crossroads of history, medicine, and fame. Perfect for fans of weird true stories, dark humor, and those who like their trivia with a side of “what the actual heck?” Listen now—because the past is stranger than fiction. #StrangeHistory #WeirdFacts #Herophilus #VaughnMeader #DarkHumor #PodcastRecommendations #BoxOfOddities Learn more about your ad choices.
