In this episode of Strange & Far Out, we time travel through the year and pause in the strange liminal space between Christmas and the New Year — when time feels warped, motivation fades, and emotions rise to the surface.

We explore ancient winter traditions like Yule and the Winter Solstice, unpack Christmas as a ritual of comfort and nostalgia, and examine the pressure tied to New Year resets. Through familiar segments like Mood Ring Moment, Time Capsule, and Time Machine, this episode reflects on the year that's passing and why the in-between days affect us so deeply.

No resolutions. No rushing.

Just a moment to sit in the space between.

In Part Two of our Mary Shelley series, Tessyrella steps into the stormy heart of Frankenstein — not to talk about "the monster," but the wounded, lonely creature who just wanted someone to stay. Things get a little deep in this little therapy session no one asked for, but we all need!

Join Tessyrella for a two-part gothic adventure into Mary Shelley's world — from graveyard childhoods and turbulent love to the nightmare that inspired Frankenstein. Then explore the deep psychology behind Victor and the Creature, diving into trauma, grief, loneliness, and the monster within us all. Dark, emotional, and wildly far-out.

Tessyrella cracks open the strange psychology behind hybristophilia — the phenomenon where people are romantically or sexually attracted to violent criminals. From Ted Bundy's courtroom charisma and bizarre jailhouse marriage to Richard Ramirez's rock-star infamy, this episode explores how charm, power, and danger collide in the human mind.

Hey there Strange Souls! This Halloween, Tessyrella takes you on a short trippy time warp from ancient Celtic bonfires to 1970s candy panics to uncover why we love fear, darkness, and dressing up like the dead. Dive into the origins of Halloween, the evolution of costumes, and the psychology of why facing the macabre feels so good. It's spooky, soulful, and delightfully strange — a far-out journey through the veil. 👻✨

Welcome strange friends! In this episode Host Tessyrella asks why we crave dark stuff. We hop in the farout Time Machine to explore the history of true crime obsessions and we chat about the psychology of it all.
