The Amber Room was an ornate chamber decorated in custom crafted amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors and located in the Catherine Palace in Tsarke Selo near St. Petersburg. It was a gift from Prussia to Russia in the 18th century in order to promote an alliance against Sweden. It was stolen from the palace by Nazi Germany in WWII and moved to Konigsberg Castle in Germany, where some say it was destroyed by either Soviet or RAF bombing raids which destroyed most of that city. Konigberg was annexed by Russia and is called Kaliningrad. today. Many theories exist regarding the fate of the Amber Room and we cover them here, as well as provide additional research on Swedish and Argentine financing of the Nazi war machine, the sinking of the Wilhelm Gusloff with nearly 9,000 refugees onboard (and possibly the Amber Room in crates), and German theft of many priceless pieces of art, some of which were recovered by the "Monuments Men", and others which are still missing.

For a few months back in the summer of 1972, a shaggy beast terrorized the tiny town of Louisiana Missouri, scaring the living bejezuz out of kids and adults and mystifying researchers. He had been spotted at a year previous but forgotten- passed off as a prank, but when he came back, he did so with a vengeance- killing at least one dog, and running one family out of their home. He left genuine three toed footprints, smelled like long dead meat, and had thick black hair covering his face and body. He was witnessed by dozens, He was also accompaniied by very strange lights and objects in the sky, Sometime after 1972, the beast called MoMo (for Missouri Monster) ,like Puff the Magic Dragon, slipped sadly back into his cave. But his legend survives as the monster that time forgot.

In this very enjoyable intervoiew with author Jeremy Dauber we discuss his new blockbuster book American Scary , which is a sweeping and entertaining narrative that details the rise and enduring grip of horror on American culture from the taught, terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe to the sharply chilling folms of Jordan Peele. Along the way we talk about Washington Irving, Arthur Machem. Alfred Hitchcock, the movie 'The Blob', Uncle Tom's Cabin, Frankenstein, and much more, but we probably only cover 1% of the contents of this terrific book, which is really a history of horror genre books and movies.

This is the story of the bloody battle for Okinawa in 1945- the last stop before the invasion of the island of Japan, which continued to refuse to surrender even though Emperor Hirohito and the top military elite knew they had no chance of winning.The Japanese dug in with 140,000 army regulars and Okinawan conscripts and prepared for an all out suicide war using civilians as human shields. Over 1000 Kamikaze planes were turned loose on the fleet supporting the Okinawa invasion, and for 81 straight days the American forces on land and sea fought a hellish battle against an unyielding enemy. The Battle of Hacksaw Ridge and the role of conscientiousobjector Desmond Doss is an integral part of this story.
