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.

"The tooth fairy took my cock ring"

Rob Auton is a unique voice in the world of comedy. With his distinctive style and thought-provoking material, Rob has captivated audiences with his whimsical yet profound observations on life, existence, and the human experience.

Unique and interesting podcast! Look forward to every episode!

Serious disservice to lean on QI and NSTAF for credibility only to put out conspiracy fuel. You’re part of society’s problem, Dan

Great show, much entertainment!
I think you’re still a touch stuck in rational materialism, but which is understandable considering your general cohort. Still exciting to watch your journey, and perhaps watch interests expand. Good fun!
