The Oddities Department

Booking Overview

A host-led history-and-science oddities show covering bizarre true stories, folklore, unusual medical practices, mysteries, and questionable science, with occasional external guest tour guides rather than a regular interview-heavy format. Suitable pitches include engaging historians, museum professionals, folklore or science specialists, authors, and public-facing creators with unusual subject expertise; booking appears relatively accessible because the guest segment is newly established and the demonstrated guest profile is a niche media personality.
