I’m constantly delighted by how dry, slightly twisted, deadpan and downright clever this show is.
Excellent research, cracking stories. But what sets it apart is the wry tone and excellent writing. I love a show that is so damn good yet doesn’t take itself too seriously!
Quirky stories that have been fully researched, delivered with dry wit by a host with a lovely speaking voice. Can't wait for the next one!

It’s one of my go to podcasts to hear a well researched, diverse range of stories presented with a touch of subtle humour at times . I look forward to more, particularly in the haunting and unexplained disappearances.
If you enjoy non-fiction unsolved mystery podcasts that don’t involve abduction, rape and murder, you’ve got to check out One Strange Thing. Laurah’s narration is just great.

By the time I listened to about five episodes I w... more
