    What's In Your Walls?
    Apr 28 2025
    When contractors cracked open the aging walls of a 120-year-old department store, they expected dust, maybe a few old rats with top hats. What they didn’t expect was a discovery so bizarre it had the building inspector saying, “Yeah… I’m gonna need backup.” In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro peel back the drywall on a mystery that’s been sealed for over sixty years. Then: before TikTok influencers and Times Square billboards, there were the banner girls—humans turned mobile advertisements, parading products on their bodies with the same enthusiasm as a sandwich board at a conspiracy convention. What happened when marketing met mayhem? You’ll have to hear it to believe it. Tune in for strange secrets, forgotten history, and the kind of content that makes you mutter, “What the weird?” under your breath in public.

    TIX TO BOX OF ODDITES LIVE SHOWS ARE NOW ON SALE HERE! Welcome to Inbox of Oddities, where reality takes a smoke break and the inbox bursts open with haunted urns, chalk-eating tulpas, Cold War wristbands, and at least one New Jersey-based armadillo that defies all natural law. In this listener-fueled fever dream: One listener's imaginary friend—Bimble, the caped, spoon-draped chalk connoisseur—appears in someone else’s childhood, uninvited and possibly still out there. A surgical nurse from Kalamazoo fact-checks a historical deep dive and dishes on a defunct statue that looked like it belonged in a museum labeled “Regret.” A cat becomes a Latin-hating oracle, an ER trip turns mildly conspiratorial, and Albania is revealed to be bunker-rich and surprisingly scenic. Also: haunted urn gymnastics, ritual birthmarks, a cheese grater mishap, armadillo teleportation, and a touching reminder that kindness still matters—even when your neighbor might be a Siberian shaman. Come for the mystery. Stay because your pet just growled at the speaker and now you can’t blink. BOO is powered by your stories—and possibly interdimensional rodent portals. #BoxOfOddities #InboxOfOddities #WeirdPodcast #ListenerTales #HauntedUrn #ImaginaryFriendOrDemon #SiberianShamanNeighbor #PossessedCat #BunkerTourism #PodcastWeirdness #StayBizarre #FreakFlagFlying Learn more about your ad choices.

    In this episode of The Box of Oddities, your curiosity is about to be abducted—possibly by a 19th-century mermaid in a UFO-shaped boat. First, we plunge into the Utsuro-bune Incident—a baffling tale from 1803 Japan involving a mysterious woman, a sealed vessel, and just enough alien energy to make your eyebrows levitate. Then, we trek into the frosty footprint of Peter Freuchen, the towering Dutch explorer who survived the Arctic by literally pooping his way out of an ice prison. Yes, really. Prepare for mystery, adventure, and bodily function-based survival tactics, all served with that signature Box of Oddities flavor: one part absurdity, two parts historical weirdness. Listen now before your toilet brush becomes sentient. #HistoryPodcast #WeirdHistory #BizarreButTrue #TheBoxOfOddities #UFOFolklore #ArcticExplorer #OddPod Learn more about your ad choices.

My favorite podcast ever

I generally hate Couples, but Kat and Jethro are charming and adorable. Content is almost always interesting. I love That Thing in the Middle. I am always sad when each episode ends.

Simply the best!

This is the best podcast out there, hands down. Endearing and entertaining, intelligent and funny, it's everything you can ask for. In fact, I wish they could release episodes daily! Enjoy! (and you're welcome 😉)

Reminds me of a bad a.m. morning show

Listened to one episode - of course it began with commercials, then they talked about the subject vaguely for ten minutes, had some more commercials, read boring listener emails praising their show, then talked about random nonsense until the end. All of this with lame, forced jokes throughout. I'd call it Christian Humor - awful but always with the obligatory laugh from the other. Looks like others have a very different opinion, proclaiming them as 'adorable and playful' and such. Just not for me.
