Justin Robert Young, Andrew Mayne, and Brian Brushwood host the Weird Things podcast. The podcast is mostly free form discussion of the latest weird news stories. Common topics are aliens, time-travel, superpowers, cannibalism, and futuristic technology.
Format
Before the show, Andrew prepares a list of news stories or listener-created scenarios for Brian and Justin to ponder. These stories range from major advances in science to a zombie apocalypse. Often, this involves the three of them having assigned roles and humorously acting out the scenario as Andrew slowly reveals more and more information about the usually horrific scenario.
In most episodes there are 3-4 topics followed by the hosts recommending books, TV shows, movies etc. for the listening audience.
Sponsors

Recurring Quotes
