Sheri Lynch Spotlights Women In History In Her True Weird Stuff Podcast


The True Weird Stuff podcast is hosted by female broadcasting legend Sheri Lynch. Best known for her work on the nationally syndicated Bob & Sheri, Lynch is also a 10-time NAB Marconi Award nominee and three-time winner of The Alliance for Women in Media’s Gracie Award.

Bringing her broadcasting chops to the podcast world, Lynch has created the show of her dreams. Each week the True Weird Stuff podcast dives in to explore an inexplicable, but very true story. Many fascinating women have been highlighted on this popular and fast-growing podcast. With March being Women’s History Month, we would like to highlight these weird women who have a story to tell as well as the woman telling the story, Sheri Lynch.

“I’ve spent my whole life struggling to NOT talk about all the weird things that fascinate me and often make other people uncomfortable, such as reincarnation, near-death experiences, aliens, or the idea that reality is a simulation,” said Lynch. “It’s hard masking so much weird. The True Weird Stuff podcast is where I can bring all the quirky, cryptic, creepy, odd and just plain weird together in one place and share them with my listeners.”

True Weird Stuff is a weekly podcast exploring interesting historical stories about a range of topics. For Women’s History Month, we want to direct your attention to some of the True Weird Stuff episodes featuring women in history. Here’s some of our recent episodes. They range from Madame Tussauds to a the first-ever stagecoach robber. We hope you enjoy the sampling below and it gives you a few more fascinating females to consider when discussing Women’s History Month. Enjoy!
