The AP Strange Show

A quirky culture show where AP Strange interviews writers and researchers behind “weird stuff,” skepticism, and fringe-but-artful subject matter. It’s a great platform for authors and experts who can make the unusual feel grounded, thoughtful, and accessible.

Writers, researchers, and creators with published work (books, long-form writing, or reputable archives) in unexplained/paranormal/fringe subjects or in overlooked cultural spheres (e.g., sideshow/performance culture). Guests often have a clear intellectual stance (skeptical, critical-but-curious, or anthropological/academic) and the ability to explain how their work fits into wider culture.

Published books or long-running writing in the subject area, Established research/archival work (e.g., dedicated collections or organizations), Prior media features or contributions (e.g., major newspaper Op-Ed context), Credible insider experience in the niche (e.g., direct participation in circus/sideshow)
