For over two decades, Barry Seal, aka Ellis MacKenzie, was a prolific  drug smuggler, working for many notable cartels, the biggest and best  known being Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel. He was also an inside man  with the CIA and DEA for most of his criminal activities, and many even  link him to being the second man in the assassination of JFK by his  flight school buddy, Lee Harvey Oswald. Give it a listen and tell us  what you think in the comments below.

In September of 2005, an error in the coding of a plague in World of  Warcraft caused a real uncontrolled outbreak of a deadly pandemic across  the game world. Effecting almost the entire player base, the Corrupted  Blood Plague had more in common with our real life pandemic a decade and  a half later than it appears on the surface. Join us today as our  friends Brittany and Bryan from Switching to Game Chat join us to talk  us about the video game virus that had IRL consequences.

Legend tells of an ancient meteorite called the Esperanza Stone that  fell to earth over Yaqui, Mexico covered in inscriptions and carvings  from the Gods above. Adorned in seemingly Mayan symbols, Maj. Frederick  Burnham, a man who served as inspiration for Indiana Jones and the Boy  Scouts of America,  invited  Charles Holder, a writer for Scientific  American out to see the stone and write about it in 1910. Since the day  of that discovery, Holder, Burnham and most of his heirs, would go on to  find tremendous fortune in conservation and the advancements of  mankind. We think finding the stone might just have played a role in  that.   Find out today, like, subscribe and ring that notification bell y'all!

On November 6th, 1975, Travis Walton and his co-workers saw a bright  light, claiming it was a UFO, while thinning the Sitgreaves-Apache  Wilderness in southern Arizona. Travis approached it and when he touched  the craft, he was gone in a flash. Five days later, he shows back up,  face down, only miles from where he was last seen, while his co-workers  sat in jail on alleged murder charges. He's told the story a few times,  and we can't help but feel like he's omitting a detail or two. Join us  today Ford Explorers, as we search for the truth.  

Also, apologies for the audio quality, the gain knob on our mic seems to  be haunted, just like the rest of the studio.

Right around noon on March 3rd, 1876, the skies over Mud Lick, Kentucky filled with falling chunks of meat. Some claimed it was a sign from the Gods, others took it home and cooked it for dinner. A local hunter said he reckoned it was bear meat, but a local butcher said it wasn't anything he'd ever had, and a fancy New York Times writer claimed it was the remains of an alien fallen to Earth. Officially said to be the result of several vultures disgorging themselves before flight, we don't think that math lines up with witness accounts. Find out all about it today y'all.

At just five years old, Luxembourg Duchy Isabeau Katharina Zinsmeister  disappeared in 1884 from a remote hunting lodge while on a hunting trip  during a private family visit to the United States. There are numerous  theories on what happened to her: some believed she was murdered, some  that she was abducted and kidnapped, although no ransom note has ever  been received, while others suggest that she was eaten by wild animals.   Her disappearance has been a source of never-ending trauma and  embarrassment to the Royal Family of Luxembourg, and especially her  brother, who has frequently implored the American people to assist in  finding information regarding her whereabouts, and himself denies any  wrongdoing in her disappearance.    Join us today as we seek redemption for this dead redhead y'all!
