About this listen

 In a world that feels more divided than ever, Stranger Than Fiction proves that connection is only a random conversation away. This isn’t your typical interview podcast - it’s unscripted, unpredictable, and deeply human. Each episode begins with a roll of the digital dice, using a random chat tool to connect with someone, somewhere in the world. From there, the conversation flows: life struggles, joys, news, culture, the small stuff, the big stuff, and everything in between. The result? Poignant, funny, surprising, and sometimes heart-breaking exchanges that remind us that while our stories may be wildly different, the threads that tie us together are universal. Stranger Than Fiction. Random people. Real stories. Unexpected truth.Copyright 2025 FTM Media Pty Ltd Social Sciences

    Whenever You Do Find a Good Cop, They Don't Last Long

    In the debut episode of Stranger Than Fiction, host Fred Scherzer takes you beyond the headlines to uncover the hard truths about corruption, poverty, and resilience in America today. From stories of police misconduct and systemic failure to the growing crises of homelessness, missing persons, and human trafficking in North Carolina, this candid conversation exposes how government decisions ripple through everyday lives—and what happens when accountability is absent. But this isn’t just about injustice. It’s about the people fighting back, the strength of communities supporting one another, and the urgent need for change. If you’re ready for unfiltered perspectives and real stories the mainstream media too often ignores, this is where the conversation starts. Learn more about your ad choices.
