History Podcast / ThinkingSideways

* TheTeam: Well, they ''are'' known as Team Sideways across various media.

* {{Corpsing}}: Mostly Steve.

* AdultFear: Amidst theories about alien invasions and secret organisations, Team Sideways leans more towards favouring rational explanations that are still unpleasant (if not more so). Cases involving missing children can go to some pretty dark places.

* TwoGuysAndAGirl

'''''Thinking Sideways''''' is the name of an ongoing podcast that explores a different unsolved mystery every episode. While these are usually of the true crime variety, topics have included historical peculiarities and travel disasters. The show is manned by three hosts from UsefulNotes/{{Portland}}, known [[OnlyOneName mononymously]] as Devin, Joe and Steve. Their chemistry has been credited as one of the reasons behind the podcast's popularity.

* {{Corpsing}}: Steve.

* {{Corpsing}}: Steve, so much.

* OnlySaneMan: Devin usually, Joe occasionally. Whether or not he personally believes it, Steve is more than happy to "go down the rabbit hole."

* RunningGag: Much to Devin's dismay, Joe is fond of suggesting the {{Chupacabra}} as the perpetrator in cases. [[AWizardDidIt Aliens]] are another go-to.

'''''Thinking Sideways''''' is the name of an ongoing US-based podcast that explores a different unsolved mystery every episode.

The first episodes were released in 2013, and while episodes are generally delivered on a weekly basis, there has been some deviation in schedule over the years. Length also varies.

* RunningGag: Much to Devin's dismay, Joe is fond of suggesting the {{Chupacabra}} as the perpetrator in cases. [[AWizardDidIt Aliens]] are another go-to.
** Joe tends to call the Chupacabra [[AffectionateNickname Chupie]].

* DeadpanSnarker: All three have their moments, but Joe owns this especially. From the April Fools episode examining Ken Mcelroy, an unpopular guy whose murder was never solved despite a multitude of witnesses:
-->'''Joe:''' I’m going to go with squirrels. You guys have a favorite?\\
'''Devin:''' I think that dude was just a huge [bleep] and everybody wanted him dead.\\
'''Joe:''' That’s a little out there, don’t you think?

** Meanwhile, the Jeff Davis 8 case is the one they've found creepiest.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: If Joe is to be believed, a ''lot'' of cases merit quickly assuming foul play. Lampshaded by Devin in the ''Sunset Limited'' derailment episode.

* BuffySpeak: Devin is the youngest member of the trio, so whenever she engages in this, Steve in particular is quick to point it out. The trio's attempts to pronounce things from outside the States also apparently irritate some listeners.

* OnlySaneMan: Devin usually, Joe occasionally. Whether or not he personally believes it, Steve is usually more than happy to "go down the rabbit hole."

While the trio do attempt to resolve the mysteries they discuss, they describe themselves as aiming more to "provide a primer in each mystery" than putting them to rest, which has led to a recognisable format each episode:
