Episode 7

Saturday, October 17, 2026 • Duration 29:27

This week, we're digging up the dead, travelling back in time, and discovering that even Hollywood glamour has a surprisingly peculiar side. Learn about what Burke and Hare did in the name of education and what else Hedy Lamarr did other than acting.

And, of course, no episode of Two Peas in a Peculiar Pod would be complete without a couple of paraphilias thrown into the mix.

So settle in for another collection of the surprising, the uncomfortable, the fascinating and the downright peculiar.

From No Burp Syndrome to the Blue Fugate Family – we’re diving into another collection of strange, fascinating and downright peculiar stories!

Episode 4

Saturday, September 5, 2026 • Duration 31:44

This week, we're cramming a whole lot of peculiar into one episode! We discover the astonishing story of twins born 87 days apart, meet the people whose job it was to wake you up before alarm clocks existed, and head to Japan to explore the fascinating history of Itsukushima.

Things take a rather strange turn as we follow the bizarre journey of Oliver Cromwell's head, before diving into two unusual paraphilias and discovering what happens when a beer brewery accidentally releases a tidal wave of beer onto the streets of London.

Expect strange history, unbelievable true stories, questionable jobs, unusual human behaviour and, as always, plenty of moments where you'll be asking yourselves: "How is this actually real?!"

This week, we're diving into the extraordinary life of fearless journalist Nellie Bly, who faked insanity to expose the shocking conditions inside an asylum. We also explore the moral panic surrounding the infamous Video Nasties and why a collection of low-budget horror films caused such outrage in 1980s Britain.

If that's not peculiar enough, Gem gives a spoiler-filled summary of the cult horror film Anthropophagous (so you don't have to watch it!), before we finish by discussing two unusual paraphilias that prove truth really is stranger than fiction.
