Get Weird with host Brittany Barbieri—field researcher, naturalist, and explorer with over 23 years of field expertise—as she dives into eerie encounters, cryptid sightings, historical events, and unexplained phenomena. Blending science with myth, Brittany separates fact from twisted narratives, leaving the final conclusion up to her listeners.
In this episode of Get Weird, Brittany Barbieri explores the story of Tenzing Norgay, who reached the summit of Mount Everest in 1953 after six previous attempts, yet whose role was often overshadowed by Edmund Hillary’s. Brittany discusses the new film Tenzing, his place in Everest history, and the cultural significance of a mountain considered sacred by the people who call the Himalayas home.
The episode also dives into the legend of the Yeti, including Hillary’s later expedition to investigate the mysterious creature and the evidence he examined along the way. Brittany explores how local knowledge and a mistranslated phrase helped shape the “Abominable Snowman” legend, highlighting the importance of listening to the people who know the Himalayas best.

She also shares insights into her upbringing, her passion for the supernatural, and her approach to parenting, encouraging listeners to remain open-minded and kind when others share unexplained encounters.
