Bizarre with Mick Molloy and Titus O’Reily is an Australian-produced podcast that explores unusual and often unbelievable true stories from the worlds of professional sport, the animal kingdom, and criminal history. Hosted by veteran comedian and radio personality Mick Molloy alongside author and sports satirist Titus O’Reily, the program focuses on narrative-driven accounts of eccentric historical events and contemporary oddities.

The show originally launched as *Sports Bizarre*, a series dedicated to deep dives into the weirdest moments in athletic history. These stories cover a broad spectrum of disciplines, ranging from the chaotic origins of the Tour de France and Olympic fencing duels to the off-field antics of professional cricketers and the management style of iconic figures like George Steinbrenner. Each Monday, the hosts unpack these sporting legends, emphasizing the human eccentricities and unlikely circumstances that define them.

The podcast has since expanded its scope to include two additional themed segments. *Animal Bizarre*, typically released on Wednesdays, examines strange biological phenomena and unusual human-animal interactions, such as crypto-investing hamsters or rogue rodeo bulls. More recently, the series has introduced *Crime Bizarre*, which investigates high-stakes heists and complex legal mysteries, such as the Great Bookie Robbery.

The format is conversational, blending Molloy’s comedic delivery with O’Reily’s detailed research. While the subject matter is frequently absurd, the program maintains a factual basis, highlighting the reality of events that often appear fictional. Produced under the LiSTNR network, the podcast publishes multiple times per week. A premium subscription service known as Bizarre Plus is also available, offering members weekly bonus episodes, early access to live show tickets, and access to a members-only archive.
