A Study Of Strange is not just another true-crime podcast. It's more of a truth is stranger than fiction crime podcast. It's the X Files TV show fried up with the Cold Case TV show.
Convergent Content, LLC, is thrilled to release their new podcast, A Study of Strange. It is the production company's first podcast.
A Study of Strange delves into the world of the unknown, covering cases of unsolved crimes and unexplained occurrences. The podcast attempts to debunk common misconceptions and introduce strange tales that are typically overlooked in the genre.
Hosted by Michael May, a filmmaker and host of the true-crime, automotive-themed shows Auto/Biography and Auto/Biography: Cold Cases on Motor Trend TV. Every week, Michael shares a strange tale with a different guest, and they both play a role in short reenactments throughout the episodes. Guests include entertainment industry insiders, friends, weirdos, randos, and more!
May, on the podcast's website talks about the podcast this way: "I've been passionate about everything mysterious since I was a little kid. It may have started with tv shows, who-done-it movies, and children's literature like Encyclopedia Brown, but it broadened as I got older. Now I'm basically a consumer of anything that deals with the unknown...and the stranger the better.
"One of my favorite hobbies is to research and debunk common theories. Even my own. I'm not an investigative journalist. I'm a story-teller. So, I'm not expecting to solve any cases, settle the score once and for all over who is Jack the Ripper, or discover a family of Big Foot (Big Feet?), but I do think I can enlighten lovers of this engaging genre.
"And, hey, I'm going to play with dramatizations and reenactments of aspects of these tales which is unique and fun. Some of these stories are dark and depressing. We've gotta have some fun, right?"
A Study of Strange starts off with a bang, releasing five episodes today for the premier of the podcast. Episodes include the mystery of a real locked-room murder, the story of the first spirit photographs, and a deep dive into the Biggie Smalls murder. Special guests thus far include novelist August Norman, filmmaker Tim Donahue, and Biggie Smalls expert and documentarian, Michael Dorsey.
“I’m fascinated by mysteries and my nighttime reading always includes whatever strange story I’m into at the moment,” says Michael May. “My experience researching for TV shows has taught me that there’s always more to a story than what you think, and we want A Study of Strange to present new information, or theories, when possible.”
