2023 was quite the year of weird news so I figured it would be fun to go back over it, month by month to regale some of the stranger stories from the year.

As there are quite a few strange stories, I'll be spreading this out over a few episodes before the end of 2023 like a cathartic cleansing ritual, so if you’re new here, make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss out when the next one is released.

Today's stories from August:

Chess Cheating Scandal Update

Mexico Shows World their Alien Body Proof

Yoga Instructor Worries Dog Walkers in "Mass Killing" scare

So grab yourself a beverage and a suitably festive snack and let's look back on the bin fire that was 2023.
