Well, that's Weird

Join us on a descent into the underbelly of society to uncover the wild world of weird. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you gave an elephant too much LSD, or if you cut the head off an animal and put it on another animal? Or if barcodes are the mark of the devil? The story behind the things that make you "well, that's weird" can be found right here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
