Beauty and the BEARD

Welcome to the maiden voyage of the Beauty and the BEARD podcast. 

If you have missed it everywhere else, unfortunately Kayla had to step down as a host of Macabre Mediums and Hilary and I were tasked with scrambling to figure out the best way to handle it. Kayla is irreplaceable so we decided to totally revamp the show and focus more on parenting and relationships... hopefully our current audience is still entertained but we understand if the change in topics turns you off.

This episode we focus strongly on first time vs experienced parenting and the different ways certain things are handled. 

This week in an homage o spooky season the girl go back to their childhood and talk about dolls... no i dont mean Barbie. I am talkin about Annabelle, join the girls as they add a new little twist to the show. Annabelle is an allegedly haunted Raggedy Ann doll, housed in the occult museum of the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Annabelle was moved there after supposed hauntings in 1970.

This week the girls are headed south... to the Big Easy... the Birthplace of Jazz... if you haven't guessed yet, it's New Orleans. The reason they are projecting themselves here, The Axeman of New Orleans. The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer active in New Orleans, Louisiana, and surrounding communities, including Gretna, from May 1918 to October 1919.

The girls head off into the dark wilderness, start up a campfire and roast up some juicy delicious ... Murders ?!?! 

The Keddie murders is an unsolved 1981 quadruple homicide in Keddie, California, a rural resort town in the Sierra Nevada. The victims were Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp; daughter Tina Louise Sharp; son, John Steven Sharp; and John's friend, Dana Hall Wingate.

The girls are feeling fashionable this week and are talking about LuluLemon... Yoga pants and tank tops galore. Yeah right, not on this podcast... Don't get it wrong these girls love fashion but they love talking about true crime sooo much more. So this week is all about the LuluLemon Murder. The Lululemon murder occurred on March 11, 2011, at a Lululemon Athletica store located in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, when Brittany Norwood, a store worker was injured and Jayna Murray was murdered(a fellow employee at the store).

Week 2 of the girls travelling through time. Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. In both the criminal case files and contemporary journalistic accounts, the killer was called the Whitechapel Murderer and Leather Apron.

This week the ladies travel through time ... Sadly, no DeLorean but they did stumble upon a massive tragedy... Jack The Ripper. Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. In both the criminal case files and contemporary journalistic accounts, the killer was called the Whitechapel Murderer and Leather Apron.

This week, for the special 10th episode, the girls go patriotic (in a bad way) and do the case of Clifford Olson. Clifford Robert Olson Jr. was a convicted Canadian serial killer who confessed to murdering 11 children and young adults between the ages of 9 and 18 in the early 1980s.

Trigger Warning: There is quite a bit of children in this episode so if that is a trigger for you and you need to skip this episode we 100% understand.

This week the girls do some protection rituals and prepare to discuss the exocism of Anna Elisabeth "Anneliese" Michel was a German woman who underwent 67 Catholic exorcism rites during the year before her death. She died of malnutrition, for which her parents and priest were convicted of negligent homicide.

The Russian Sleep Experiment is a creepypasta that some feel could be more fact than fiction which tells the tale of five test subjects being exposed to an experimental sleep-inhibiting stimulant in a Soviet-era scientific experiment, which has become the basis of an urban legend.
