An office party that resulted in a half-a-million-dollar lawsuit. A body donation gone so wrong that human remains ended up on display in a hotel ballroom.

These are just some of the stranger than fiction stories we’re taking a closer look at on Audacy’s new podcast, Something Offbeat.

We’ve scoured the internet to find the offbeat news pieces that make us think and leave us with more questions than answers. Each week, KRLD’s Mike Rogers will interview experts to uncover the deeper story behind these weird headlines.

So far, New York Presbyterian Hospital School of Medicine psychiatry professor and podcast host Dr. Gail Saltz has joined us to explore why some people are fascinated by death. Dr. Kevin Chapman, founder and Director of the Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, helped us unpack why we tend not to take mental illness as seriously as some physical illnesses.

Stay tuned as we continue to investigate the stories you forward to your friends or share at the water cooler.
