What happens when the human body mysteriously bursts into flames with no apparent ignition source? The phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion has puzzled scientists and fascinated the public for centuries, with approximately 200 reported cases over the last 300 years.

But spontaneous combustion is just the starting point for our exploration of history's most bizarre deaths. We'll take you through a gallery of strange demises: Franz Reichelt's fatal jump from the Eiffel Tower to test his flawed parachute design; Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe's death by politeness after refusing to excuse himself to use the toilet at a banquet; Frank Hayes, who became the only jockey to win a race while dead; and the Greek philosopher who literally laughed himself to death. Perhaps most disturbing is the tale of the Collier brothers, whose extreme hoarding led one to be killed by his own booby trap and the other to starve to death among mountains of collected junk.

These unusual exits from life's stage remind us how unpredictable our final moments can be. Whether scientifically explainable or genuinely mysterious, these strange deaths capture our imagination and make us wonder: could something equally bizarre happen to any of us? Listen now and decide for yourself which death is the most extraordinary—and perhaps check your home for fire hazards, just to be safe!

Remember turning on ITV2 at any given weekend and finding Jim Carrey's face staring back at you? "Liar Liar" wasn't just a 1997 comedy film – for many Brits, it was practically a constant fixture in our television landscape, something we've all seen dozens of times, but rarely from beginning to end.

In this nostalgic deep dive, we attempt something both foolhardy and fascinating: reconstructing the entire plot of "Liar Liar" purely from memory, without rewatching or researching beforehand. The result is a hilarious journey through half-remembered scenes, confidently incorrect character names, and surprisingly accurate plot points that reveal how deeply certain films embed themselves in our cultural consciousness even when we've never given them our full attention.

What makes this challenge particularly fascinating is how it mirrors the way many of us actually experienced "Liar Liar" – not as a film we deliberately sat down to watch, but as something we absorbed in fragments through repeated casual exposure on television. Our collective memories fill in each other's gaps, creating a surprisingly complete picture of a film neither of us has intentionally watched in years.

Whether you're a fellow child of 90s British television or simply enjoy the nostalgia of revisiting films through the imperfect lens of memory, join us for this unique experiment in collaborative reminiscence. And if you've got suggestions for other films we should attempt to remember, we'd love to hear from you – especially those movies that seemed to be permanently playing on television during your formative years.

Remember when podcast hosts actually listened to their audience? We do! In this feedback episode, we're diving into your comments, memories, and occasional corrections about everything from the National Lottery's cultural impact to that iconic Blur vs Oasis battle that divided the nation.

Your passionate responses to our Sopranos episode prove just how deeply that series embedded itself in British culture, while the Italia '90 memories transport us back to a time of Pavarotti, those distinctive billowing nets, and the heartbreak of Waddle's missed penalty. It's fascinating to discover how differently we all experienced these shared cultural moments – whether you were a Blur devotee with "Coffee and TV" blasting from your Walkman or an Oasis disciple who'd fight anyone who criticized the Gallagher brothers.

The irony isn't lost on us that while hosting a remembering podcast, we occasionally forget things ourselves – like when Liam couldn't recall a video sent just days earlier or momentarily believed Mystic Meg was still predicting lottery numbers. These moments of memory lapse actually highlight something important about nostalgia: it's less about perfect recall and more about the emotional connections we form with our shared cultural past.

We're also announcing our transition to a dedicated Who Remembers feed, so be sure to follow us there for upcoming episodes including our Liar Liar special. And if you're a new or aspiring business owner, creative, or podcaster yourself, we're offering free promotional shout-outs to help build our nostalgic community. Because at the end of the day, remembering is always better when done together.
