Lots of drama this week in the soaps as Halfway sees Stu for what he really is in EastEnders, everyone on Corrie plays musical chairs to see who will get the pub, Lochlan continues his incompetent, but bloody, murder spree on Emmerdale, and while Nelle’s story arc is ending with her in jail. Kiki’s saga with Angry Ava is just beginning, due to a poorly thought out text from an anxious Franco, who added “JK” to reduce the damage, but we all know, Hell Hath No Fury like a Jerome Scorned!

Trivia Geeks Live! brings you a new episode, simply titled “Comic Capers”  you’re welcome.

Imran Javed is back this week with Kari and Drew, just in time to pit the Matt Delhauer from The Ginger Geek Pod and Scott Meridew from Podcapers against each other in Comic Capers. These comic book nerds know a thing or two about comics, but do their penalties trip them up, and everyone just starts taking like Milton from Office Space? It’s a non-stop laughter train that will surely have you derailed and giggling out loud.

Lewis Lent

Lewis Lent is a convicted murderer and rapist from Massachusetts. He confessed to kidnapping and killing 12 year old Jimmy Bernardo (1990) and 12 year old Sara Ann Wood (1993), but he refused to say where he buried her body. Lent abducted Jimmy from the Pittsfield movie theater where he worked as a janitor. He was sentenced to life without parole for the Bernardo murder and sentenced to 25 years to life for the Wood murder. He is currently in prison in Massachusetts. However, the jackass recanted his confession and continues to refuse to disclose the location of Sara’s body. Lent has said that he “can’t say where her body is because she is not buried alone.” He is suspected of the kidnapping and murder of other children in the early 90s.

Those coke bottle classes straight up look like pedophile glasses, girl. ugh.

Dragonflies!

We always notice and appreciate the lovely reviews you give us. Thank you.

Thanks so much to Andrea Freitas for the recommendation this week. You can hear her on the Feast on History podcast here on BCS and read her blog A Measured Life here!

It’s not just that they flap, it’s how they flap that makes the wings of dragonflies so unique and wonderful.

Look at those asynchronous little marvels of nature! Wow!

Who’s the deadliest hunter on the planet? With 350 million or so years under their belts, it’s these guys. Dragonflies are beautiful but they are also stone cold killers.

Dainty, glittery and pretty and the most brutally effective hunter on the planet.

The quality is janky but it’s a free YouTube video. Also David Attenborough is the man. Courtesy of YouTube user Vashti Neal:

This is also an excellent documentary about the world of dragonflies! Courtesy of YouTube user The Secrets of Nature:

Want to attract dragonflies to your backyard? You can! It’s relatively cheap and easy.

Here are some plans for a smaller house box ~or~ you can create your own backyard pond!

Thanks, hooman!

If that wasn’t enough, dragonflies have the longest migration of any animal on the planet!

Seriously though after about 7 hours on a road trip I’m looking for the nearest hotel not gonna lie.

Now you know even more about dragonflies than you did this morning! What do you think of them? We want to hear from you! Send us your suggestions for animals you’d like to hear us talk about, or just drop us a line about anything at [email protected]! We might even read your email on the show.

More unsettling Stuey on EastEnders this week, along with shouty Slaters messing about in church (oh, dear), devious Lochlan continues his unplanned crime spree on Emmerdale, Gemma and Henry making a hash of their landlord practice run on Corrie, and a smash and grab a la Jason Morgan on General Hospital that makes him and Carly into fugitives.

Lesson: always pack your zip ties, join us this week for The Soapy Madams Podcast to find out why!
