Unusual As Usual podcast intro
Manage episode 341140454 series 3277351
Welcome to Unusual As Usual, the show that explores the strange and bizarre. Whether it be Anatomical Oddities such as 'The Gripping Tale of Grady Styles The Lobster Boy’ who was born with claws instead of hands or ‘The Unfortunate Tale of The Hilton Twins’ - conjoined twins chained for life. Or maybe you're more interested in Modified Marvels such as ‘The Macabre World of Rick Genest The Zombie Boy’ who tattooed his entire body from head to toe to look like a rotting corpse, or another body mod extreme, ‘The Graceful Shape of Ethel Granger’ - The Wasp Lady who used corseting to become the woman with the smallest waist in history.
The animal kingdom also has its fair share of the unusual which we cover in our Abnormal Animal playlist featuring ‘Oliver The Humanzee’ whom scientists believe could have been the missing link in evolution, and P.T. Barnum’s most prized possession ‘Jumbo The Elephant’.
Speaking of P.T. Barnum, he was well known for showcasing some fantastic and unusual working acts which we cover in our Peculiar People playlist such as ‘The Dangerous Career of Koringa’, La Femme Fakir, who could scale a ladder of swords completely barefoot or ‘The Stomach Churning Act of Mac Norton’, L’homme Aquarium - he swallowed live fish and frogs before regurgitating them unharmed.
