The Mushroom That Makes You See Tiny People

In a remote region of southwestern China, villagers have reported something deeply bizarre for generations: a wild mushroom that doesn’t just make you hallucinate... it makes everyone see the same thing: tiny people. Marching. Working. Crawling. Tonight, we’re diving into the legend of the so-called “little people mushroom,” the strange consistency of these sightings, and why multiple people across different villages and decades describe nearly identical encounters. Is it folklore? Shared cultural priming? A neurological glitch?  Speaking of tiny people hallucinations, we've got special guest MADDIE OGDEN! So strap in, hit the bong and grab some Wendy's (not a paid advertisement).      Instagram: @thedarkdiscopodcast

The Silent Ones

Breaking news: not everyone has an internal monologue. Some people just live life with their brain on airplane mode. This week on The Dark Disco Podcast, we investigate the silent majority of folks whose thoughts are more like a buffering wheel than a narrator. Meanwhile, Nidal keeps assuring us he has important thoughts… but we're pretty sure it's just South Park references on repeat.   And special guest Sean Trew is here!

PRIONS? I barely know her!

On this week’s episode of The Dark Disco Podcast, we slip into the shadows of medical horror... a world where prions lurk like microscopic executioners and every neurological mystery feels like a curse. These rogue proteins dissolve identity, erase memory, and leave only questions in their wake. Naturally, the internet has turned them into the villains of every celebrity illness, dragging even Michael J. Fox into theories that spread faster than the diseases they’re trying to explain. And in the end, we discover the real terror. Not prions, not pandemics: Nidal and Sarah's never ending Lord of the Rings jokes.

Feast of Trumpets

Remember that rapture everyone said was happening in September? Yeah… turns out the only thing ascending was our expectations. In this episode of The Dark Disco Podcast, we unpack humanity’s latest apocalypse that totally flaked. With our usual host lineup in shambles, two Jewish men take over the show (one of them our special guest, Andrew Brown) to make sense of why the chosen people keep ending up on the mic instead of in the clouds. Expect theology, chaos, and the kind of jokes that might just delay the next rapture by another few millennia.

Skeleton Soup

Deep in the Indian Himalayas lies Lake Roopkund, also known as ‘Skeleton Lake’... because nothing says ‘perfect vacation spot’ like hundreds of human remains floating in ice water. Archeologists say it’s from a 9th-century hailstorm, but we’re not buying that. Was it an ancient mosh pit gone wrong? A Game of Thrones deleted scene? Or just history’s worst company retreat? Join us as we dive into the icy, bone-chilling mystery, without actually diving, because, well, skeleton soup.   Also, Ezra is officially MIA this week, so we invited Andrew Brown to take his place (don’t worry, he promised not to add more skeletons to the lake).
