Late Night Wiki is a quiet journey through the strangest, most fascinating, and often overlooked corners of human knowledge.
Each episode explores one unusual Wikipedia rabbit hole—from forgotten historical figures and unexplained events to bizarre traditions, strange inventions, obscure disasters, lost places, and mysteries that become more complicated the deeper you go.
Designed for curious minds and late-night listeners, Late Night Wiki turns obscure facts into compelling stories. What begins as a simple question can lead through hidden histories, unexpected connections, and details that never make it into the textbooks.
Put on your headphones, follow the trail, and see where the next rabbit hole leads.New episodes weekly.

25 OCT 2026 · Descend into The Footnotes, the premium room of Late Night Wiki, for a sources-deep night with the Komodo dragon: the Dutch lieutenant who proved the land crocodile was real, the 1926 expedition that named the dragon, venom glands mapped by MRI, iron-glazed teeth, virgin births in English zoos, medicine hiding in dragon blood, and the five small islands holding every wild dragon left.
Eleven chapters with the night librarian, from a 1910 rumor to a 2024 paper, with tangents through monitor cousins, dinosaur teeth, and the patient field science under it all. Settle in, turn the lamp low, and read past the end of the article.

0:08 Down the Hole After Midnight
3:49 The Lieutenant and the Land Crocodile
8:29 Dragon Lizards of Komodo
12:19 Anatomy of a Living Dragon
18:22 Teeth of Iron
22:27 The Dragon Next Door
25:49 The Virgin Births of Flora and Sungai
32:46 What Dragon Blood Can Teach Medicine
36:33 Three Thousand Dragons on Five Islands
