Journey to the Fringe
265 episodes   Last Updated: Nov 20, 24

Thanks for checking out our podcast! We look at fringe topics often neglected, or ill discussed, in a light hearted and open manner. These topics run the gambit from the mundane water pollution, recycling, and tax evasion to the fantastical moth persons, time travellers, and paranormal. For us there’s no cryptid too creepy, topic too trivial, or djinn to dreary. Also we like to do exposes on assholes of the UFO community. To keep things fresh (and also because we aren’t really sure how to start podcasts) we start every week off with a Fringey Mini recent news article and discussion (It’s the podcast equivalent of not knowing what to do with your hands). And as we say in our intro from the unexplained to the mundane, join us on our journey to the fringe.

Hello,I know you probably think that time travel is better left to the likes of John Titor or Andrew Basiago but this week it's me.

Dubbed obelisks because of their shape, these genetic oddballs might just be the tiniest tenants in our microbiome, cozying up in bacteria like Streptococcus sanguinis. But what do they do? That's the million-dollar question—or should we say, the billion-bacterium question?https://www.vice.com/en/article/scientists-discovered-virus-viroid-like-obelisks-human-mouth-gut-bacteria/Ps.) isn't the space jazz background music just the fucking best
