Description

It wouldn't seem that weird if we told you a soldier from the past led his comrades into battle with a sword and longbow. It would get a little weird if we told you that "the past" was WW2. Well, that's the exact case with our topic this week, Mad Jack Churchill. From capturing a Nazi outpost almost singlehandedly to registering the only known kill of WW2 by way of longbow - Jack was one of a kind and we dig into his madness this week. Plus, Conspiracy Bot claims to have been a laser gunrunner in the Middle Ages (we've stopped asking), the fellas demonstrate their severe lack of knowledge when it comes to Middle Age weaponry (let's just say they wouldn't have lasted long at the Battle of Hastings), and the show ends with a blast from the past (just listen). All of that and more on the podcast that is constantly being accused of being ‘improperly dressed’ - mostly because the robot likes to wear a speedo - Hysteria 51.

Hysteria 51 is a weekly podcast that takes an every-man approach to the World of the Weird - UFOs, Aliens, Mysteries, Conspiracies, the Paranormal, the Unusual, and the Unexplained. Hosts Brent Hand, David Flora, and Conspiracy Bot (a cranky robot bent on world domination who also happens to be the show’s head researcher) examine a different topic each week and generally come to one conclusion…the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.
