Welcome to Weird Times

Or… Weird Tales for Weird Times

Welcome to my new publication Weird Times — an occasional publication devoted to weird tales, factoids, coincidences, remembrances, and other arcana from history, legend, folklore, urban myth and pop culture plus anything else that intrigues the editor. We are open to submissions however we have no contributor budget.

Weird Times is an offshoot of the Weird Tales Show channel on YouTube and the Weird Tales Radio Show podcasts that are still available on all the usual streaming channels and internet radio.

We are living through some almost dystopian weird times — climate change means the planet is burning, deluded politicians are turning the UK into a banana monarchy, deluded judges are turning the US into a crypto-fascist theocracy, Europe is seeing the biggest war in 80 years, the mega-rich are getting richer while everyone else is getting poorer, and the global economy is tanking. In otherwords we’re all going to Hell in a handcart.

In the circumstances what better than to relax with some weird tales from history through until the present day — the kind of weird geeky stuff to make you go WTF — or else give you ammunition to play Trivial Pursuits. Or am I the only person old enough to remember Trivial Pursuits?
