Zombie Fishbowl: A podcast about random s**t! Danielle from the UK and Melanie from the USA have conversations about randomly selected topics after a week of research in an attempt to blow each others minds (but mostly just have a nice chat about weird s**t).

Howdy! This week we shake up the formula a bit and Melanie tells us all about the weird and wacky world of Denver Airport- it's got all the big players in conspiracy theory world, questionable art, unfortunate design plans and lots, lots more. It's a doozy!

IT'S OUR 1st BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY/LAUNCH DAY!!!! WOO! Thank you to all our loyal little fishes WE LOVE YOU.
Ehem, anyway, this episode is all about the Table-Top Role Playing Game Dungeons and Dragons! We try to give you a nice overview of the world of D&D for the layman and also pop some jokes in there for seasoned pros.
Also, sorry in advanced for when Danielle describes her groups gameplay... you might cringe if you know anything about the game...
LOVE YA! <3

Howdy! In this episode we introduce our take on 'folklore'. Danielle gets all sentimental ('daaw) then quickly gets all professional again with a local legend and Mel rips some yarns with fancy accents and sing-songs. Do not miss it!!
Thanks to listener @Jim-AuthorArcherHay for the idea for this episode!

HI! Miss us? We're back with Episode 35 where we delve into the meaty topic of ransom notes through the gateway drug of kidnappings. Danielle talks handwriting analysis and Melanie shares the first documented case of the use of a ransom-note in a kidnapping in the USA and another (really tragic) case from LA in the 30's.
Trigger warning: In the second half we talk about the kidnappings of children along with the details of the cases so that might be unsettling to some listeners. You are probably OK with Danielle's bit about graphanalysis but maybe not the cases. Up to you!
OH AND Black Lives Matter

We know you were expecting some dead dudes curses but all will become clear when you listen to the episode. We changed it up and brought you some spooky content instead. So listen up little fishes, while we give you the history and ghosts of two famous haunted castles!
WE LOVE YOU

This week's episode is all about Dreams! We picked 'Sleep' out of the random-topic-picker so we focused on dreaming and popped Sleep back on the list for later (there is sooo much interesting stuff about sleepy-time). We both had a blast researching, sharing, and discussing dreams and we hope you enjoy listening!
Stay to the end where we (rather long-windedly) request some input from you, the listener, to contribute to a potential minisode!
LOVE YOU BYE

Are Video Games bad for you? What are Melanie and Danielle's favourites? Can you do some simple maths and work out precisely how old they are by how they willy-nilly just go 'I was 11 when this game came out in 1997!" without even thinking. Not that we care. Time is an illusion anyway...
Or maybe you just wanna know wtf a video game even is because you're from the cowboy times?
Well then, you've come to the right place/podcast.
Let us know your favourites!
LOVE YOU GUYS

IT'S EPISODE 30 EVERYONE! I cannae believe it! We've made it to our 30's. Thanks for sticking with us!
Anyway, in this episode we have a go at educating ya'll about conspiratorial thought patterns and slice up what makes something a 'conspiracy theory' vs just plain ol' paranoia (...or even just journalism...)
We ramble a bit but it's fun! Enjoy!

In this episode we explore the phenomenon of Out of Body Experiences (Or OOBES, I like OOBES cuz it sounds like boobies-D), including Astral Projection, Lucid Dreaming and other such similar experiences. Basically, if your mind left your body while you went off and did some other sh*t, we mention it.
We hope it all makes sense, and please, tell us which camp you set up in- Are you more Melanie or more Danielle on this?? What do you think is happening when people are experiencing OOBES? WE WANNA KNOW! Get in touch and we'll feature you in a minisode and talk about your idea.
WE LOVE YOU <3
