Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual. Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.

The aquatic kind as we explore all the explore all the things that go SPLASH in the night in the land of bagpipes and haggis. Plus Conspiracy Bot and Flora get along (it's short lived), Brent tried out his Scottish accent (it goes exactly how you think), and things get downright sexy (they don't)! All that and more on the podcast that is in search of a magic bridle for our studio, Hysteria 51
