289# Before Hawkins | The Montauk Project & the Real Stranger Things

We’re heading to the very edge of Long Island, where a sealed military base refuses to stay silent. We’re unpacking claims of psychic children, mind control, time travel, and a government project so controversial it may have erased itself from history. We’ll follow the story from Nazi science to Cold War paranoia, explore why Stranger Things might be closer to reality than fiction, and ask the most uncomfortable question of all — if Montauk really happened, are we still feeling the consequences now?

288# Before the Waters Rise | Ancient Floods and Modern Warning Signs

Across continents, cultures, and thousands of years, humanity has told the same story:
that the world was once destroyed by water, civilisation wiped away, and life forced to begin again.

Tonight, we investigate the Great Flood — not as a single religious tale, but as a global human memory. Why do civilisations that never met tell the same story? Were these myths inspired by real catastrophic floods, lost coastlines, or something even older? And if the world really did drown once… what survived?

287# Ashes to Eternity | The Legend of the Phoenix

This week on Never a Straight Answer, we follow one of the oldest and most powerful myths ever told — the Phoenix. A creature born in flame, destroyed by fire, and reborn from its own ashes. From ancient Egypt to Greece, China, Christianity, alchemy, psychology, and pop culture, the Phoenix has symbolised immortality, renewal, collapse, and comeback.

But where did the legend come from? Why does it appear independently across cultures? And why, thousands of years later, does humanity still cling to the idea that destruction isn’t the end — it’s the beginning?

284 # The Amityville Horror | The Lutz Family Haunting and the Making of a Legend

We're going deeper. Beyond the horror flicks, beyond the book deals — this is about George and Kathy Lutz and their three children, their claims, their interviews, their contradictions, and what might have motivated them. We’ll also cover how their story was shaped by public pressure, media, and maybe just a touch of performance. The Amityville story might be part memoir, part myth — and the Lutz family are right at the centre.

283# The Thornton Road Poltergeist | Britain’s Forgotten Haunting

On this week’s Never a Straight Answer Podcast, we’re pulling back the veil on one of Britain’s strangest and most overlooked hauntings — the Thornton Road Poltergeist of 1981. This was a case that briefly gripped the headlines in West Yorkshire, but then faded into obscurity, overshadowed by bigger cases like Enfield. We’ll walk through the terrifying daily events inside that quiet terraced home: unexplained bangs, flying objects, ghostly voices, and the toll it took on the family who lived there. Along the way, we’ll dig into police reports, newspaper accounts, and theories — from fraud to genuine haunting. Then we’ll round out the episode with the week’s weirdest news, from space oddities to bizarre global headlines.

282# Alien or Goo? | The Panama Meteor & The Venom Growth Mystery DEBUNKED

🎧 Episode Summary

In this episode, we dig into one of the strangest viral mysteries of the year: a rock in Panama allegedly from a meteorite that started “growing” a slimy, smelly creature — something people online are calling “Venom.” We’ll follow the videos, the reactions, and the wild race between belief and skepticism. What does the evidence say? What have scientists or critics found? And just how likely is it that this thing is alien vs a slick hoax or fungal prank?

Plus: we’ll round off with a batch of bizarre news this week — some alien-ish, some hilarious, all weird.
