Join us as we twist and over-exaggerate the very true falsehood of a completely fabricated forgery fish which was totally considered a genuinely authentic species...for over 5 decades! What would you do if you were served an atrocious fish of unknown origin? You’d eat it! And you’d pay for it as well! Because you do this all the time without your knowledge! But hey, at least you move on with your life, instead of making a mockery of the scientific world...unlike some people :)

BIRBER MURD!!!
Help support a new, amazing, awesome indie podcaster! Murder Bird covers true crime cases involving women and girls, BUT...in a very genuine, respectful and objective way! The topic selections are unique, unconventional, lesser-known cases often unexplored by media and podcasters, and usually not what they seem at first :)
If that wasn't enough to get you hooked, hey... the host Sophie does amazing narration... in the sweetest, most pleasant, Britishy (but VERY comprehensible!!!) voice I've heard in quite a while :) :) :)
Listen to Murder Bird on any podcasting platform of your choice, such as:
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0X7eFIjKnHcU9s99wiB4su
Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/murder-bird/id1547857027
...or any of those others, if you're one of those weirdo people!
Follow them on Instagram @murderbirdpod
...or on Twitter...um...also @murderbirdpod
If you feel intimidated by the Britishness of the host, and want to be all formal, then send them an e-mail to [email protected]
And if you like my show, you will give this podcast a 5-star review on iTunes, because I love it, and so do you! Squishy commands it! :)

18. Extradimensional Psychological Entities
1 RecommendationsThe Outer Space, Hyperspace and Inner Space collide!!!...as we attempt to redefine reality, searching for the aliens of our own psyche! The cosmos is as vast as the variety of its interpretations! We are all material constituents of the universal clockwork, yet psychological instigators of infinite abstract realities!
Want more pseudo-philosophical nonsense? Hit the Play button! We get very meta and introspective, so much that we find ourselves lost in our own mind... multiple times! Literally! Aliens, UFOs, dreams, hallucinations, hypnosis, psychedelics, even extra-dimensional lifeforms... we talk about it all, yet say nothing! What does any of this even mean? I don't know! I'm pulling stuff out of my ass! It is too large, and the alien probes needed some company :)
======================
Huge THANK YOU!!! to Aaron for helping bring our absurd nonsense to fruition, and playing the coolest character thus far!
