A Study of Strange is for lovers of true crime, mysteries, and the eerie world of high strangeness. Each week, host Michael May investigates the unknown, from bizarre crimes and unsolved murders to hauntings, urban legends, lore, cryptids, and unexplained phenomena.

The mission is simple: debunk common misconceptions, uncover hidden details, and explore the most unusual unsolved stories from history. Along the way, listeners hear from occasional guests like writers, entertainment industry insiders, and the occasional random oddball who add fresh perspectives to these strange and dark histories.

Michael May is a filmmaker and performer known for producing films like Ghosts of the Ozarks and 12 Hour Shift, and for hosting the true-crime automotive series Auto/Biography and Auto/Biography: Cold Cases. Obsessed with historical mysteries, he brings the curiosity of a journalist and the flair of a storyteller.
