Liverpool vs Swindon – Weird Stories from Familiar Names

This week’s episode throws Liverpool vs Swindon into another strange and unpredictable showdown, as the podcast digs into a fresh set of weird stories, cultural oddities, and unsettling moments to decide which place comes out as the most interesting.

Liverpool brings an unexpected twist on the familiar with a story that circles around Eleanor Rigby — taking a name everyone thinks they know and pulling it into far stranger territory. What starts as a recognisable reference quickly becomes something more curious, uncomfortable, and oddly haunting.

Swindon answers back with the appearance of Billie Piper, but not in the way you might expect. Fame and familiarity give way to a story that veers into the bizarre, showing how well-known figures can end up tangled in strange, local, or downright surreal narratives.

Threaded through the episode is a murder — not treated as straightforward true crime, but as another disturbing detail in a wider collection of weirdness. The focus stays on the odd circumstances, the unsettling overlaps, and the uncomfortable questions that arise when everyday places brush up against something deeply wrong.

Mixing pop culture, local strangeness, and dark curiosity, this episode is perfect for listeners who enjoy:

• Weird British stories

• Familiar names used in unfamiliar ways

• True crime with an offbeat angle

• Podcasts that focus on the strange rather than the sensational

Liverpool vs Swindon proves once again that the weirdest stories often hide behind names you think you recognise. Tune in to find out which place delivers the strangest tale — and which detail you won’t be able to stop thinking about.
