Author: ForthHand Media June 10, 2026 Duration: 36:56
New York City has always had its share of underground mysteries, but this week we're heading straight into the manholes. Reports of so-called "mole people" living beneath the streets have resurfaced, raising questions about what really lurks below the Big Apple. Are there hidden communities thriving in forgotten tunnels, or is this another urban legend that's grown legs and wandered into the darkness?Meanwhile, a very different kind of underground market may have accidentally made its way above ground. A recall has been issued for chocolate gummy bears after they were allegedly found to contain an unexpected ingredient: a prescription-strength erectile dysfunction drug. That's right. Somewhere between snack time and pharmacy time, things got extremely awkward.From hidden civilizations and urban legends to recalled aphrodisiac gummies and accidental pharmaceutical adventures, this week's Hysteria 51 delivers another dose of weird news that's stranger than fiction and significantly harder to explain to your pharmacist.The truth is out there, but you won't find it here.Links & Resources📌Sewer Surfers📌Truth in AdvertisingEmail us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.comSupport the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://www.teepublic.com/stores/hysteria51?ref_id=9022 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ever find yourself staring at the night sky or reading a bizarre news headline and wondering what on earth-or off it-might really be going on? That’s the territory explored every week on Hysteria 51. Created by ForthHand Media, this isn’t a dry lecture; it’s a conversation between hosts Brent Hand and David Flora that feels like hanging out with your most curious and funny friends. They’re joined by their own creation, Conspiracy Bot, a sardonic tin-can sidekick whose ambitions for world domination are only matched by his zeal for poking at the unexplained. Together, they take listeners on a deep dive into the strange corners of our world and beyond, from UFO sightings and alien lore to historical oddities and paranormal reports that defy easy explanation. What makes this podcast stand out is its blend of genuine research, comedic timing, and a healthy dose of skepticism, all while maintaining a sense of wonder. You’ll hear discussions that treat these unconventional topics with both humor and a thoughtful eye, sifting through the evidence and the absurdity with equal measure. It’s for anyone who loves a good mystery but prefers their explorations of the unknown to be engaging and entertaining, never taking itself too seriously. Tune in for a weekly dose of the weird, where history, science, and comedy collide on the cosmic highway.
