Retreat to the parlour with Maxwell and Jennifer! There, be enthralled by strange and fantastic tales of spooky phenomena, eccentric history, and weird science.

They’ve been expecting you. Have a seat by the fire. Welcome to Odd Tonic.

Jun 24, 2019

Jennifer and Maxwell take a deep dive into mermaid myth, history, and recorded sightings, plus also investigate why mermaids have such a grisly reputation… sharing tales of those who, unknowingly, waded into their dark waters. Your Ambassadors of Odd will lure you in and make you question everything you think know about these aquatic enchantresses.

 

Avast, ye Mermaids!
