Episode 58: The Mic That Keeps on Giving

Send us a text

Ever wonder if that karaoke microphone is harboring a secret infection? In this wildly entertaining episode, we dive into the bizarre case of a woman who claims she contracted herpes from singing her heart out at a Chinese karaoke bar. While medical experts cast doubt on her story, it opens up a fascinating conversation about disease transmission and perhaps relationship alibis gone wrong.

From strange infections to dangerous obsessions, we examine the disturbing case of a misogynist armed with a crossbow who attacked two women in Leeds before taking his own life. His plans for an "Otley Run Massacre" thankfully fell far short of his deranged ambitions, leading to a discussion about the twisted psychology behind such attacks and society's fascination with these stories.

Technology takes center stage as we unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming our world in unexpected ways. Australian radio listeners were shocked to discover their favorite host "Thye" was actually an AI creation after six months of daily broadcasts. Meanwhile, deepfake technology poses serious threats to our justice system, with experts warning that fabricated video evidence could send innocent people to prison. The recently passed "Take It Down Act" aims to criminalize deepfake revenge porn, but could it be misused by politicians to suppress criticism?

We wrap up with a journey into the world of UFO conspiracies, exploring claims that the Vatican holds secret knowledge about extraterrestrial encounters and the chilling assertion from renowned researcher Jacques Vallée that UFOs have deliberately caused human deaths. Whether you're skeptical or open-minded, these stories highlight our enduring fascination with the unknown.
