  • Brilliant

    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!

  • Captivating in both material and presentation

    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. Her voice is so soothing, calm and professional and then she just says the most out of pocket things… I’ve heard a couple of podcast episodes about the Mad Gasser of Matoon or the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula, but none I’ve heard previously have made me guffaw throughout. By the time I listened to about five episodes I w... more
