A Look at Weird, Quirky, Mysterious, and Odd but True Stories
Denver, CO — January 11, 2023 – NOW! Media is excited to announce True Weird Stuff, a new podcast hosted by Sheri Lynch, award-winning broadcaster, best-selling author, and co-host of Bob & Sheri. Born out of Lynch’s passion for the inexplicable but true, the weekly thirty-minute podcast debuts this Friday the 13th (we couldn’t resist) and will explore stories that are real, true, verifiable (mostly), but also deeply weird, quirky, odd, unexpected, peculiar, and mysterious.
“I’ve spent my whole life struggling to NOT talk about all the weird things that fascinate me and often make other people uncomfortable, such as reincarnation, near-death experiences, aliens, or the idea that reality is a simulation,” said Lynch. “It’s hard masking so much weird. The True Weird Stuff podcast is where I can bring all the quirky, cryptic, creepy, odd, and just plain weird together in one place and share them with my listeners.”
“When Sheri came to me with this idea, I was instantly excited,” said Tony Garcia, who co-owns NOW! Media with Lynch. “Sheri is the hardest working and most creative person in media. I’m confident True Weird Stuff will be a great addition to our soon-to-be-announced podcast network.”
True Weird Stuff kicks off with a very true story — one that starts in a backyard swimming pool and ends in a manhunt for murder. The episode that follows is about a group of children who mysteriously turned up in an English village. A future episode explores a secret program that the CIA ran in the 50s, involving slipping unsuspecting men LSD, and then studying their behavior with prostitutes in a wired-up surveillance at a brothel.
Lynch has authored or co-authored five books, including the recently published It’s Always Something: A Coloring Book for Exhausted Adults, Cooking with Cats: Favorite Recipes of Crazy Cat People and the Felines We Feast With, and The Book of Bob, all published by NOW! Media. A sixth book is in the works, with plans to publish in 2023.
Bob & Sheri, the popular nationally syndicated morning show that Lynch co-hosts with Bob Lacey, is heard on more than 70 stations across the country and on the American Forces Radio Network. The show is also available to listeners in podcast form daily, following the broadcast. Fun Size is a weekly podcast featuring favorite Bob & Sheri radio bits in a snackable form and the weekly Oddcast features original content created specifically for the podcast audience.
