Things Are About To Get Weird

Things Are About To Get Weird is a British narrative-nonfiction podcast that takes a deep, serious look at the cases the world can't explain. Each week, host Chyaz Samuel researches one story end to end — cold cases, hauntings, cults, medical mysteries, historical curiosities — and tells it the way it deserves to be told: with care, with sources, and with the conviction that the truth is always weirder than the headline. The show sits at the intersection of true crime and the paranormal, drawing listeners who want more than surface-level spookiness. Chyaz brings a warm, believing-enthusiast register to every episode — taking witness accounts and folklore seriously while remaining honest about what can and cannot be verified. Every episode opens with a listener-discretion note and closes with hyperlinked primary sources. With 85+ episodes and a recurring presence on the Spotify UK True Crime Chart, Things Are About To Get Weird has built a loyal audience of curious listeners who come for the mystery and stay for the storytelling.
