Prepare to plunge into the peculiar as Dan Schreiber, professional fact-hunter, uncovers the wild beliefs, ideas and theories of some of the most remarkable people on planet earth. 

As well as delving into the lives of truly fascinating people, Dan asks his guests a maverick tour of questions known as The Batshit Survey. Do they believe in Ghosts? Déjà vu? Telepathy? Premonitions? Déjà vu? 

Either way, everyone has theories they are transfixed by, or a mystery in their own life that they’re trying to solve. Dan leaves no rock unturned - and he’ll share plenty of his own mind-blowing facts and theories too.

Bonus episodes, ‘Lazy Code' are a deep dive into simulation theory. 

Let’s create a global community of likeminded weirdos!

Expect new episodes every Friday. Bonus episodes monthly.

One Final Stroll Along The Batshit Ley Line

Before you were you… who were you?

For their final hurrah, Dan and the Lazy Code team, Halina Brooke and Leon 'Buttons' Kirkbeck enter into the trance of past life experiences. From children who remember how they once tragically died, to skills, scars, and scaries that transfer across save files. Could consciousness be reloaded into a new human character? And if so, why can't these previous players just let go of the controller!

Lazy Code: Respawn? Same Soul, New Save File

Donald Robertson is a psychotherapist and writer whose book 'How to Think Like Socrates' brings ancient wisdom into the modern world. Today, he shows us the strange habits, mental experiments, and street philosophy of Socrates (one of history’s original weirdos.)

Lazy Coders! For this month's bonus episode join Dan, Leon, and Halina as they take you on a tour through brains bigger than their own, diving into breakthrough thought experiments, full-on quantum particle weirdness, and the increasingly obvious proof that humanity is already speed-walking along the simulation track.

Lazy Code: Science of Simulation

Mary Roach is a bestselling science writer and explorer of the the odd corners of science that most people wouldn’t dare to investigate. Cadavers, sex labs, space junk, you name it.

Her new book, Replaceable You, takes that curiosity inside the body itself, exploring the world of prosthetics, organ printing, regenerative medicine, and the scientists trying to rebuild (or upgrade) the human parts we lose. From stem-cell “hair nurseries” to xeno-pig organ farms, Roach uncovers the strange, brilliant future of becoming a “new” you.

Today’s episode is a two-for-one feast of mystery. First, the curious gems that keep washing up on the river Thames. What are they? Who put them there? And why? Historian Ellery Weil joins Café del Weirdo to dig into the leading theories and the world of Thames mudlarks.

Next, we slip into the shadowy woods to visit Baba Yaga, the legendary Slavic witch-grandmother who may help you, may eat you, and definitely lives in a house with chicken legs. Author Kris Spisak tells us why this ancient figure still hooks us today.

Café del Weirdo: The Mysteries of the Thames Garnets & Baba Yaga

Al and Dan join forces to get their head around some potential (/almost certain) poltergeist proof, eerily accurate astrology and The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Oh, and Dan takes issue with the core philosophy of the entire justice system of England and Wales.
