About this listen
Hungry for a treasure trove of weird and wonderful facts beyond your wildest imagination? Then keep on reading…
Did you know that trees collaborate, communicate, and engage in chemical warfare?
Or that humans are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood?
Sometimes, life gets boring. Your sense of wonder often gets lost in a pile of chores, paperwork, and obligations.
With tons of boredom-busting facts and mysteries about plants, animals, history, space travel, and everything in between, you have a set of fail-safe conversation starters up your sleeve.
So, if you want to find out…
- Why some people believe their families have been replaced by impostors
- How tens of thousands of fireflies can synchronize with each other to blink in unison
Then this book is here to satisfy your curiosity.
In this enthralling collection of 60 fascinating, bizarre, and entertaining phenomena, you’ll discover:
- The creature that never dies — it just goes back to the juvenile stage and starts all over again
- How a slimy glob of single-celled organisms can remember, learn, and transfer knowledge
- When science-fiction turns into real-life horror — how a fungus takes over ants’ bodies and turns them into zombies
- The story of the “dancing plague” that swept through Europe 500 years ago, leaving people dead from exhaustion
- The country where you can pay someone to apologize for you, or even quit your job
- The mechanics of black holes and the possibility of “white holes”… places where time runs backward
And so much more.
This isn’t just any old collection of recycled factoids and half-true anecdotes — all of the information has been carefully curated, thoroughly researched, and fact-checked.
So, what are you waiting for?

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

Story
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Not just random trivia-Good read!
The beauty of this audiobook is that it isn’t just about random trivia—it digs into topics that make you think and might even give you a new perspective on the world. I mean, who knew that humans are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood? It’s these kinds of unexpected tidbits that keep you wanting more. The stories range from the quirky, like people believing their families have been replaced by impostors, to the downright creepy, like a fungus that takes over ants and turns them into zombies!

This book is unbelievable so much information
I just finished listening to "Curiosities Revealed." This book is amazing. We always have game night with our family and I was wanting to bring something new to the table. This was the perfect book. It is well written and organized. Each chapter has a specific topic. I learned so much in this book I was surprised. I learned that jellyfish never die and just go back to a juvenile state. A pistol shrimp can punch with the force of a .22 caliber pistol. One of the coolest facts is fireflies can sink up their blinks. My favorite quote in the book was. “Sometimes the most extraordinary things happen in the most ordinary of places, you just need to look a little closer.” It really reminds you that the world is full of wonders, even in the simplest things. I highly recommend this book. So much fun to read and share.

Incredibly Entertaining
This eclectic collection of oddities and unusual facts is very entertaining. It reminds me of a favorite podcast that has many different topics and ideas that seem a bit jumbled together, yet the book manages to be fascinating. I have to admit that some of the topics interested me most like unusual biological and mental illnesses, interesting cultures, and historical events like the molasses flood, a war over a lost bucket, and Napolean being attached by rabbits. There is something in here for everyone including nature lovers, and science geeks as well. One thing I will mention is that the narrator speaks very slowly, so I had to listen at 1.5X speed. Truly, this would make a great podcast series.
