The Offbeat Oregon History Podcast is a thrice-weekly service from the Offbeat Oregon History newspaper column. Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday, a strange-but-true story from Oregon's history from the archives of the column is uploaded. An exploding whale, a few shockingly scary cults, a 19th-century serial killer, several very naughty ladies, a handful of solid-brass con artists and some of the dumbest bad guys in the history of the universe.
