Oh No, Ross and Carrie
Ross and Carrie
United States
Oh No, Ross and Carrie! is a skeptics’ road trip through the fringe and the fervent, where pseudoscience and spiritual eccentricity are met with earnest grins and clipboards. It's part investigative theater, part affectionate debunking—like My Dinner with Andre if Andre believed in aura photography.
"I was always inspired by Ross and Carrie's approach to investigative journalism through curiosity, openness, compassion, and humour. The range of investigations and topics they were able to cover was seemingly endless. The blend of personal experiences with thorough investigation and information made it one of a kind. But what I appreciate most is their commitment to understanding their subjects, full immersion in whatever fringe group or belief they were investigating, and never in a disrespectful way, always out of genuine desire to learn from them and form their own conclusions."
- Caleb Buys, Lead Podcasting
Oh No, Ross and Carrie! is a delightfully inquisitive romp through the rabbit holes of belief, hosted by Ross Blocher and Carrie Poppy, two truth-seekers armed with curiosity and a dash of gleeful skepticism. Think Kael wandering into a spiritual fair and refusing to leave until she’s tried the aura cleanse and questioned the medium’s childhood. Each episode is an adventure—or an anthropological field trip—where Ross and Carrie dive headlong into everything from UFO cults to wellness fads to spiritual healing retreats. They don’t sneer; they participate, and that’s where the magic happens. Their earnest, often hilarious engagement lets listeners witness the pull of charismatic gurus even while keeping a clear-eyed sense of critical distance. It’s funny and reflexive—a show that laughs with its hosts, not at its subjects. The result is disarming and illuminating: a podcast that embraces absurdity not for shock, but for insight, inviting you to ask, “What would I do in their shoes?”
