Welcome to Beyond The Hour, a podcast where we will dive headfirst into everything that makes life beautiful, strange, and endlessly fascinating. Hosted by Lauren Ridgeway. Each episode is a journey through the layers of humanity. From deep dives into culture, history, and psychology, to stories of ghosts and aliens, pop culture obsessions and conspiracies you won't believe. At Beyond The Hour we are vulnerable and a little weird, but we will always try and find beauty in the chaos and light in the dark.
