The Strange South Podcast

Welcome to the B-Side, where every week we’ll dig a little deeper, drink a little longer, laugh a little harder, and share insights and itty bits you’ve never gotten to hear before.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink ginger mint gin and tonics and talk ugly mermaids, ghost mermaids, spirit mermaids, and mermaids that want to eat you.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink the burn-it-down cocktail and talk about the historical and recent human-animal hybrid experiments, notably human-chimpanzee hybrids or "humanzees," and the ethical implications.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink Bulleit Spires, talk door-to-door makeup lines, Ben Gay, and learning leadership through being beaten and buried alive…?

As they sip on their Mint Syrup Mojitos, Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney chat about the prevalence of over-the-counter drugs sold at truck stops and reflect on the infamous "dangers of bath salts" era that occurred in the 2010s.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink Secret Sangria and talk about a famous cult and why the South doesn't have a corner on the cult market. News reports in the late 90s focused on their matching sneakers, androgynous hair, and their conviction that a UFO was following Hale-Bopp comet to pick them up and take them to live with Jesus somewhere far out in the galaxy. But behind the Heaven's Gate cult were a pair of Texans - a nurse and a choir teacher.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink Peppermint Kilt Scotch Coffees and talk jackasses, drug runners, and the bear that died 15 ways at once. --- A privileged life, drugs, soldiers of fortune, and a made-for-tv series of real-life events lead to the most bizarre you-cannot-make-this-shit-up ending of one man's life. We are talking dead in a parachute in someone's driveway, and a Georgia bear with a million-dollar drug habit are the tame parts of this story.

Patrice, Marleah, and Courtney drink the Holiday Heads Up Cocktail and talk bangs, bondage, and beauty.
