  • Strange Country Ep. 320: American Poltergeists
    Oct 29 2026
    Are poltergeists the result of repressed emotion or is it all a bunch of hooey? Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly discuss two such alleged poltergeist cases: one in Bridgeport, CT, and the other in Columbus OH that occurred around the time supernatural movies were really revving up.

  • Strange Country Ep. 319: Lizzie Borden Monster Meh
    Oct 8 2026

    We know dramatic license is a thing, but sometimes it can be taken way too far and become the projectile vomit that is Ryan Murphy's Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly pick apart fact from projectile vomit and retell the story of Lizzie Borden, a tale they told in their 3rd episode. Did we mention the projectile vomit? There is so much projectile vomit in that stupid show.

    Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.

  • Strange Country Ep. 318: Piss Christ
    Sep 3 2026
    Beth and Kelly are hoping the title alone will launch Strange Country into a culture war or at least get you to listen. In today's episode, Beth and Kelly are joined by in-house artist expert Terry to talk about an early culture war focused on government funding of the arts. In 1989, Andres Serrano's photograph of a crucifix immersed in a tank of his own urine ignited a culture war. And culture wars continue to rage to this day, leading some to ponder such enduring issues like whether woke made the girl M&M less sexy. Theme music: Big White Lie by A Cast of Thousands.
