30 Morbid Minutes

From Eddie Guerrero to Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) to Owen Hart, an unusual number of professional wrestlers have died suddenly, in their prime, statistically outpacing any other sport. We search for answers in the myriad of factors behind the squared circle's tragic losses, while looking back at some of our favorite deceased faces and heels. Joined by special guest James Willems.

Watch ANSWER FOR IT! from James & Elyse Willems online, November 10th through November 17th! Digital tickets available at www. DynastyTypewriter.com

Ever wonder what it takes to operate a haunted hayride every Halloween season? Or how Disney's The Haunted Mansion singlehandedly grew an entire subset of spooky theme park entertainment? Well, we've got answers, as 30MM explores the history of haunted attractions, and the costs behind this wildly popular yet sometimes seasonal industry. Plus, Jess and Elyse talk about their visit to Austin's House of Torment.

As the filming location of Some Like It Hot, the favorite vacation destination of author L. Frank Baum, and one of the last Victorian era hotels in the world, Hotel Del Coronado is famous for many reasons. It's also reportedly haunted, namely by the ghost of Kate Morgan who traveled there under mysterious circumstances in 1892.

Like the "27 Club," the Curse of the Ninth is one of music's most infamous superstitions. Supposedly, completing a ninth symphony is essentially a death sentence. Composers go from composing to decomposing. In the ground. Dead. But how true is it, and where did it come from?

Tragedy struck on August 16, 1920, when during a visiting game at the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Yankees, Cleveland shortstop and all-around affable guy Ray Chapman was beaned in the head by a "spitball" thrown by submarine pitcher Carl Mays. Just 12 hours later, Chapman would be declared dead.

In this episode, we cover a dark blemish on the history of baseball, the controversial "dead ball" era, and look at how the sport has changed to avoid possible fatalities on the field.

Back in the 1970s, a serial killer named Rodney Alcala managed to charm his way onto the hit show "The Dating Game" and even WON, but his creepy behavior off-camera raised a ton of red flags. Perhaps surprisingly, Alcala's not the only serial killer to go on a national syndicated game show. We ask why society's most notorious murderers willingly parade their identity for all to see, and get inside the psychology of Alcala and his twisted contemporaries.

It's with giddy, macabre glee, that we announce we are BACK for a limited run of episodes, just in time for the spooky season! Next week we kick things off with one of our usual episodes, but in this, our soft return episode, we're having a fun and fancy-free chat about what we've been up to, pulling back the curtain on indie podcasting life, and sharing some stories from Jessica's bachelorette party.
