BOX351: Spiritual Painting Murder
Can a painting actually be cursed? Many say "The Crying Boy" painting has been the cause of dozens of house fires. And then Kat tells us the story of two men who could quite possibly be the luckiest people to ever hit the high-seas. Warning! The little part which suffocates when the sharp part which gets hurt is swallowed is contained generously.

BOX350: Crab Claw Urinal
They were the rock gods of the 18th century. They played to packed venues filled with screaming fans. But they were the ones who should have been screaming. Then, would you trust a restroom made of outward-looking one-way mirrors? The painful price that 18th-century opera stars paid and the world's most bizarre restroom facilities. Box350 has salt, MSG, artificial color, or flavoring added.

The lives of Saint Simeon and Senator David Rice Atchison, both neatly packed inside Box349 and vacuum-sealed for freshness. Taste the rainbow.

Customer Reviews
My kind of odd
I have always loved obscure tales and trivia, so this is right up my alley! Dan Cummins is one of my faves, so Scared to Death is where i heard about this podcast, last year on a deployment in Afghanistan. Fun fact: I have a bunch of family in Maine, Old Orchard Beach i believe. Keep truckin you guys.
This Podcast is FREAKIN' AWESOME
Thank You Jim Harold for turning me on to Box of Oddities. I and jethro think alike, I find myself talking to the podcast like I was there live and Jethro says the same things I say...(or vice versa). Absolute best time listening to this
