Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, and today's podcast features three stories

that demonstrate that. The audio from all three of these stories has been pulled from our main

YouTube channel and has been remastered for today's episode.

The links to the original YouTube videos are in the description.

The first story you'll hear is called Doctor Who, and it's about a family's dark secret that is revealed in a fire.

The second story you'll hear is called Drunk, and it's about a woman with a condition so rare
