Recorded live on-site at the Strange Days Festival 2026, Craig and Andy sit down with Peter and Ben, hosts of The Quantum Mechanics Podcast.

What was planned as a quick ten-minute catch-up expands into a deep dive on navigating the middle ground between total belief and complete skepticism.

The group discusses the origins of The Quantum Mechanics, the challenges of podcast discoverability, and why some strange stories just defy explanation—such as the bizarre "Tooth Fairy" entity.

From mysterious "Jots" (Just One of Those Things) and Uri Geller coincidences to spooky encounters at Shepton Mallet Prison, the conversation explores why we are endlessly drawn to the unexplained.

To wrap up, Ben and Peter draw The Magician Tarot card for a future listener giveaway and share their thoughts on the cultural stigma separating ghost stories from UFO sightings.
