Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

by Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan

A podcast about all the things that make us wonder. Each week, we’ll tell you a true story that will fascinate and terrify you: a family who receive letters from a “Watcher” after moving into their new house, a hotel that’s seen so much death that it has to be cursed, UFO encounters, hauntings, Bigfoot sightings, and so much more. Written and hosted by Tony Award-winning actor and celebrated writer Daisy Eagan, “Strange and Unexplained” is a journey into the uncomfortable and the unknowable that will leave you both laughing and sleeping with the lights on.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Update: I've been listening for a while and like this podcast more now than ever. Knowing all the MAGAs are being little crybabies about the podcast being too "woke" is just the cherry on top. Keep up the good work. I'm new to this podcast, but so far I've really enjoyed what I've heard. She sounds almost like she's explaining an in-depth research paper she wrote, but then throws in some levity and sarcasm just to keep the Listener's attention. I happen to like that style of hosting better than two people loudly guffawing over their own jokes while telling a story about a child who got murdered. Some of them are just so shrill, I stop listening after about 5 minutes. As for political comments.... Well, I haven't heard any, but I'm still new and skipping around, so that hasn't come up yet.

I love the way you tell stories and your sense of humor (most of all). A very good voice in a sea of voices. Thanks for making my day a little more strange and bright.

Meh333567 · Dec 2024

This is consistently my favorite podcast every week. Daisy is engaging and hilarious and her takes are researched and skeptical enough that I feel like I’m having a conversation with a friend and not just listening to an urban legend. I love that these podcasts are scripted but not entirely narrated if that makes sense - they have a natural flow and cadence that makes them more conversation than lecture. One thing I do miss is the voice actors. Please bring back Ryan Garcia and Luther Creek!

Persephones6 · Nov 2024

The subjects are always fascinating. Daisy Egan always presents factual content in an engaging way, with a perfectly crafted but never overdone side of snark. Literally never a dull episode and definitely one of the top podcasters today. Miles ahead of the supposed “top” shows.

CatnMax · Oct 2024

There is way too much interjecting of her personal beliefs that is completely unnecessary. I tried to push through because she is very funny and tells stories well, but it’s honestly about every..single…episode. It’s not just her personal beliefs, she actually attacks others with different viewpoints on a consistent basis. Before you say a thing, I do not disagree with everything she says, there is just a time and place. This is a podcast about strange and unexplained things that have happened, not how much you dislike our president or how white men are racist and misogynistic. If you want to talk all the time of your personal beliefs, then start another podcast about it.
