Hysteria 51 is your offbeat weekly podcast destination for all things weird and wonderful! We navigate the cosmic highways of UFOs, the alien-infested landscapes, and the enigmatic frontiers of the paranormal. With your hosts, Brent Hand and David Flora, alongside our cantankerous tin man, Conspiracy Bot (with a not-so-subtle desire to rule the world, doubling as our chief inquisitor into the unknown), we delve into unique mysteries, the inexplicable, and the downright unusual.
Each week, we explore a fresh topic, making one thing crystal clear... the truth is out there, but you won’t find it here.
This week, we’re diving deep into the murky waters of ancient Sumer to unravel the life and legend of Gilgamesh—part god, part man, and full-time hero. Was this towering king of Uruk just another ruler with delusions of grandeur, or was he really a demigod who battled monsters, befriended wild men, and defied the gods themselves? Join us as we explore his epic quests, including his obsession with immortality, his fateful bromance with Enkidu, and the secrets that may still lie buried beneath the Euphrates. Plus, was Gilgamesh the world’s first superhero—or something even weirder? Tune in for all that and more as we decode the ancient tablets, question history’s first literary masterpiece, and ask: why does Conspiracy Bot suck so much???
