Prepare to plunge into the peculiar as Dan Schreiber, professional fact-hunter, uncovers the wild beliefs, ideas and theories of some of the most remarkable people on planet earth.
As well as delving into the lives of truly fascinating people, Dan asks his guests a maverick tour of questions known as The Batshit Survey. Do they believe in Ghosts? Déjà vu? Telepathy? Premonitions? Déjà vu?
Either way, everyone has theories they are transfixed by, or a mystery in their own life that they’re trying to solve. Dan leaves no rock unturned – and he’ll share plenty of his own mind-blowing facts and theories too.
Bonus episodes, ‘The Rough Corner’, hear from YOU – your wild ideas, odd theories and unexplainable experiences.
Let’s create a global community of likeminded weirdos!
Expect new episodes every Thursday. Bonus episodes land on Tuesday.

#49 "Some Crystal Hating Slaphead": Marek Larwood and the Sandown Clown
I talk to comedian Marek Larwood, who explores the legend of the Sandown Clown—a seven-foot-tall robotic alien clown that has become part of the Isle of Wight's peculiar heritage.
I find out that he has an uncomfortable relationship with some elements of the paranormal, in ways you simply cannot predict.
Marek runs the Cool Dudes Walking Club as a way to mix his love of the extrodinary, walking and finding a way to reduce his tax bill.
Our conversation turns introspective, pondering the transitions in life that lead us from the chaos of the city to the serenity of the boundless countryside. We touch on time, existence, and those mysterious glimmers of synchronicity that sometimes pierce our skepticism. -
The Rough Corner: The Lazy Code Hunter ft. Leon "Buttons" Kirkbeck
Join me as I reunite with my Cryptid Factor co-host, the ever-fascinating Leon "Buttons" Kirkbeck, for a whirlwind tour through the bizarre and the unexplained.
From the profound Hebrew concept (or not) of coincidence, we traverse a spectrum of topics that defy explanation, how to find a lost shoe with another, how buying a wart can be the catalyst for its removal from the body and whether the future is really in front of us - or does it blur lines with the past?

Klantrecensies
As always with Dan:
Delightfully weird and surprisingly inspiring!
A new podcast by Dan Schreiber
For many years I have been listening to the amusing podcasts Nio Such Thing As a Fish an The Cryptid Factor with Dan Schreiber. The format of these is based on the chemistry between the presenters, their wit and interesting random facts.
So of course I had to hear what We Can Be Weirdos is about. Here Dan Schreiber takes on the role as an interviewer and mainly focusses on a guest. This creates a very different typeof vibe than in the aforementioned podcasts. It is less witty and a bit more serious tone.
But this is certainly not a bad thing. It is just a different format. And for me, the first episode worked really well because Dan Schreiber did his homework regarding his guest and shows that having one on one conversations is another talent he possesses. This combined with mixing in many interesting facts as ones you would hear in No Such Thing As a Fish makes this new podcast entertaining.
The quality of this podcast will stand or fall with how interesting Dan’s guest will be and their ability to express themselves. The guest in the first episode was excellent, so I hope this level will be maintained for many, many episodes.
