Journey to the Fringe

Journey to the Fringerss.com

Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news article and discussion (It’s the podcast equivalent of not knowing what to do with your hands). And as we say in our intro from the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe.

Fringey Minis - One man's ritualistic suicide is another man's yoga class

Do you guys remember in Naked Gun where Frank says "Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy." and the Mayor says "That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar , you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones!"... I'm guessing not, it's a pretty obscure reference... anyhow this story is kinda like that... I'm going to have a good think on why my brain decided you needed to ...
