What do you get when a carnivorous plant develops a taste for rodents and a whole country uploads itself to the cloud? Just another day inside The Box of Oddities.

In this episode, Kat and Jethro peer into the leafy maw of Nepenthes rajah—the world’s largest meat-eating plant, known to snack on mice, lizards, and anything foolish enough to slip into its botanical death trap. It’s basically a salad that eats you.

Then, we voyage to the disappearing island nation of Tuvalu, where rising sea levels have inspired an unprecedented plan: become the world’s first digital nation. Yep, they’re scanning their culture into cyberspace like a high-stakes sci-fi Dropbox folder.

It's a tale of natural horror and geopolitical innovation—served up with the usual twisted humor and curiosity. Step into the weird.
