There is a mystique around assassins - creeping through dark shadows with silencers in one hand and a cocktail in the other. Media and daydreams have given these very historically real roles glitz, glamor, and tragic prestige. Of course, if I am going to cover assassins I wanted to take a look at some stories of a few of the most intriguing women assassins I could find. Who were they? What did they do? And what happened to them? This week's bonus episode sparked the topic for me and features a story of a private vendetta that captured the heart of a nation, allowing our assassin to get off scot free.

Movers and Strange Shakers 28:52

28:52

This week as we approach the fabled end of 2020, I share three tales of fascinating and history-making individuals who lived to the beat of their own drum to help inspire as we enter the new year. They boldly challenged the conventions of their times in unusual ways and forged paths in unexpected ways from a whiskey-drinking, cigar-smoking, gun-toting lady who would stop at neither snow nor rain nor heat nor even gloom of night, to finely dressed former slave who made LGBTQ history when being arrested for throwing a party, to a shrewd business woman running a floating empire. Our bonus patreon story this week is extra in depth and features the story of an incredibly diversely-talented woman who was known for her wild boldness, had single-handedly fought against three men twice and won, and won the King's favor in a precarious situation... twice. To find out more, learn how to support, and take a peek, visit patreon.com/rockettefox . * Content note: there is the mention of sex, violence, and assault for one of the stories, though nothing explicit or graphic.

This week in light of the recent cracking of the Zodiac killer code, I bring you three stories of codes and ciphers from a pigeon lost for seventy years, to a badass woman pioneer in codebreaking, to a long and colorful text that to this day has the world stumped. Bonus for Patreon supporters this week includes a quick look at a strange code from the 1600s supposedly written by the Devil and brought to light by the dark web. fantasticallystrange.com instagram.com/fantasticallystrange twitter.com/fantasticoddpod Amazing logo design by Constance Hermit instagram.com/constancehermit Killer intro song "Hey Dorothy" by Cruz Machine facebook.com/draven SOURCES https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55285805 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20456782 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-20749632 https://www.nsa.gov/About-Us/Current-Leadership/Article-View/Article/1623028/elizebeth-s-friedman/ https://www.nsa.gov/About-Us/Current-Leadership/Article-View/Article/1623028/elizebeth-s-friedman/ https://themobmuseum.org/notable_names/elizebeth-friedman/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2017/10/elizebeth-friedman-codebreaker-nazi-spy-fagone/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/6-things-know-about-mysterious-voynich-manuscript-180964847/ https://brbl-dl.library.yale.edu/vufind/Record/3519597 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55285805…

Unusual Animal Sex(es) 19:02

My loves! Let’s talk about sex...es in the animal world. More specifically chromosomes, clones, and beyond - because nature is strange and fantastic in the best of ways and so much more complex than anything we - or at least I - learned in my early science classes. And as much as humans have historically looked to the animal kingdom to reinforce ideas of the status quo, it seems the more we learn the more these very ideas can be shaken up by the same incredible creatures and the secrets they hold.

Big and Not So Bad 21:09

Big, bad, majestic, and misunderstood to a fault, the wolf has been the placeholder for all that’s evil to the citizens of fairytales, guardians and guides to the spiritual in various cultures, and - at the end of the day - trying to just get by in a world that’s hunted them mercilessly. Today, we will look at three fascinating stories involving and inspired by this beautiful animal, and perhaps we’ll come to find that big and bad is, well, not so bad.

From laughing gas, to a weekly harrowing endeavor, to what makes a cube, join me for this episode that is sure to be... odd to say the least. *Episode quasi-warning: while I won't be getting into anything too graphic, we are talking about poop so know that going in.

Seeing Rose (Tint) 17:53

This week we take a deeper dive into the unforgiving and brutal world of... chickens. Well, that's at least where we'll begin before seeing why rose-tinted specs became all the rage - or rather rage-stopper - in the poultry industry. Then we'll take a little more of an in depth scientific look at a couple studies into both how the red tint may affect our brain as well as how our mood may actually affect how our eyes take in information.

During a time that has been rife with change, stress, and anticipation - including a very big recent election for the United States, I want to take this week's episode to focus on some stories of instances where something small has made a very big impact. If you're anything like me, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and insignificant but I would hope that after these tales you take heart in what's possible from seemingly singular, small, and unexpected places.
