I’m Ivy, and this is Echoes and Oddities — a storytelling podcast that explores the strange, forgotten, and true stories from history. These are the kinds of tales that sound too odd to be real and linger in your mind long after you’ve stopped listening. I also dive into eerie mysteries and curious events that have been overlooked or left behind in the past. Every episode uncovers something you won’t find in a textbook.
