Running with our theme of people who noped out of society: how does a colony of pilgrims just vanish off the face of the earth? Murder. Probably murder. This week, Jess and Philippa talk about the Roanoke colony and the possible reason behind their eerie disappearance (hint: we're still going with murder).

Have you ever looked at something and known that you could have done better? Like: a well-known television series. Or a cake. Or society. This week, Jess and Philippa talk about some eccentric individuals who decided to go off the grid and live the dream. Let's tag along...what could possible go wrong? Just don't forget to pack your entire Nietzsche collection. Don't have room for your teeth? Leave them behind - you won't need 'em.

This week, we wanted to try something a little different. Over the past couple of months, we've been asking our listeners for some awful stories from your lives and cultures. Death rituals and celebrations? Ghost belly buttons? State-wide eugenics programs? Maybe everything is awful forever...

A fire. A string of mysterious coincidences. Five missing children. This week, Jess and Philippa look at an unsolved case of disappearance of five members of the Sodder family.

Jess and Philippa return to the medieval dancing epidemic that terrified Strasbourg in 1518. Having established what took place, they now look at a possible explanation for this baffling phenomenon.

Are you ever seized with an unstoppable urge to dance? Are you friends routinely embarrassed by you cutting a jig day and night, waltzing your feet to the bone? If your answer was yes, then you need to listen to this episode and perhaps seek out your nearest Catholic shrine to Saint Vitus.

This week, Philippa and Jess talk about the dancing plague that took hold of Strasbourg in 1518, and the bizarre remedies that...actually worked?

Leapfrogging over bowing dignitaries is one thing, but if you've ever wanted to release leopards amongst your dinner guests or rename everything according to its relation to you, then Roman emperors may have a thing or two to teach us.

This week, Jess and Philippa talk about the hilarious pranks available to Roman emperors and maybe...just maybe...learn the meaning of true friendship.

Have you ever thought that centuries of keeping kingship within a very, very tiny gene pool may have resulted in history's royal families being a little bit...off? Meet Charles the Mad who thought that he was a wolfman made of glass. Or The Mad King Christian VII of Denmark. Or The Mad King George.

This week, Jess and Philippa look at some of history's most eccentric rulers and the quirky habits that earned them that most sought-after epithet: mad.

This Wednesday, we continue our hysterical journey, deep into the minds of the doctors as they searched frantically for a cure to the bizarre symptoms displayed by their patients. If labial leeches and some light hypnotism sound like just your cup of tea, join us for a diagnostic jaunt that would baffle Dr House himself.

Have you got a case of the Monday Blues? Perhaps you didn't get enough sleep last night. Or you need another cup of coffee and a soothing podcast to settle your nerves.

That, or your womb might be crawling up your chest cavity and into your throat where it is now trying to strangle you.

This week, Philippa and Jess talk about hysteria: one of history's most mystifying (and mesmerising) illnesses.
