Around the Bush Podcast
We don't beat around the bush—we meet around the bush. Join us as we explore thought-provoking questions that challenge perspectives, spark meaningful conversations, and uncover the topics people often think about but rarely explore.
The Haunting Truth
How much truth is hiding behind Hollywood's scariest stories? Join us as we uncover the real-life events behind The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Amityville Horror, and the Winchester Mystery House. Then we're taking a strange turn into the eerie (and sometimes downright bizarre) history of everyday objects, from haunted mirrors to graham crackers, treadmills, and Candy Land.
Some stories are terrifying, some are just plain weird, and some might make you question everything you thought you knew.
Because sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.

Bush After Dark: Beyond the Grave
Bush After Dark: Beyond the Grave
We're taking Around the Bush out of the studio and into the shadows! Join us as we venture through some of Centralia, Washington's historic locations: the Borst Blockhouse, Joseph Borst House, former Seatco Prison grounds, and Washington Lawn Cemetery.
Armed with recording equipment, curiosity, and questionable bravery, we're stepping into the unknown to see if anyone or anything is willing to communicate from beyond the grave.
Will we capture something unexplained, hear voices from the other side, or just scare the absolute bush out of ourselves?
Turn up the volume, listen closely… and if you're out there, give us a sign. 🌙
We don't beat around the bush… we meet around the bush. Even after dark.

Bush After Dark
Welcome to BUSHTOBER!
The bush is getting a little darker this October. Join us around the campfire as we share our own eerie experiences with ghosts, paranormal activity, haunted places, and even an abandoned insane asylum.
Were they coincidences, our minds playing tricks on us… or was something actually there?
Turn the lights down, grab a blanket, and come with us Beyond the Bush After Dark.

Wait you don't think like I do!?
When someone tells you to picture an apple… what actually happens in your head? Do you see a perfect red apple? A vague picture? A whole cinematic scene? Or absolutely fucking nothing?
This week, we climb inside each other’s brains through a series of thought experiments and discover just how differently we experience our own minds. From aphantasia and hyperphantasia to thinking in pictures, words, concepts, and full blown internal movies, (R rated for Rose) apparently none of us are experiencing reality quite the same way.
Same question. Four brains. Very different answers. Come join us as we think outside the bush!

Whose Bush Is it Anyways?!
Who’s Bush Is It Anyways?!
It’s Guess Who, but Around the Bush style. Each of us secretly picked a celebrity, historical figure, or well-known icon, and the only way to figure out who’s hiding in the bush is by asking questions and following the clues.
Some guesses are impressive. Some are wildly off. And some prove we know way less about famous people than we probably should.
Play along and see if you can figure out Who’s Bush Is It Anyways? before we do!

Beyond the Bush
Beyond the Bush: Aliens
Are we really alone, or have we just gotten better at talking about the possibility that we aren’t? This episode, we’re going Beyond the Bush to explore the history of alien and UFO/UAP claims, how witnesses were treated then versus now, and some of the most compelling evidence and stories from around the world. We’re digging into government whistleblowers, Area 51, Antarctica, Operation High Jump, and why the idea of extraterrestrial life fascinates, and terrifies us.
No tinfoil hat required…but we’re not saying you shouldn’t bring one.

Down the Bush Hole- Into the Bushel
Welcome to the Bush Hole—our version of a rabbit hole, where one question somehow turns into twelve. 🌿🕳️
This episode, we’re going deep into memory and how our brains have evolved, why our memories aren’t always as reliable as we think, and how they may be more like LEGO pieces than recordings. 🧠🧩
Then, naturally, we tumble even deeper: Mandela Effects (cornucopia or NO cornucopia?! 🌽), UAPs, witch trials, Satanic Panic, and all the strange ways memory, fear, belief, and perception can shape what we think we know.
Come fall down the Bush Hole with us—because around here, we don’t just go around the bush… sometimes we go straight down it. 😂

But Why?
This episode explores the ”Why” behind some of our societal expectations. Each of us has identified a specific social norm to examine. Why do we do what we do? What might it look like to try something different? Do these unspoken understandings serve us or hinder us? Join us as we take a deep dive into different perspectives on what has always been.
