If you like the idea of picking apart some of history’s most head-scratching mysteries from behind the wheel of your truck, the “Thinking Sideways” podcast might be just the right thing for you!
The podcast features three hosts using a round table discussion-style format to delve into some of the strangest unsolved mysteries. Each episode tackles a mystery and begins with an in-depth exploration of the details. Then (this is the fun part of the podcast) the hosts explore various theories, looking at the mystery from a sideways perspective to try to gain more insight. Then, if you’re intrigued by what you’ve heard, you can check out the links posted below each podcast to investigate the mystery further on your own.
Past show topics include:
