April 29, 2025 Rogue Transmissions 3: Halfway to Halloween
Brew Crime joined in this fun project from Octoberpod Am. This is an anthology episode. Somewhere the sun shines, somewhere the birds sing the glories of a new dawn. Somewhere … it's Spring again! But HERE … every day is Halloween! Rogue Transmissions, an uncanny anthology of exceptional indie podcasts, presents the Halfway to Halloween Hullabaloo! Your horror host Edward October is scanning the dial for lost broadcasts, campfire tales, and weird nostalgia to bring you a hell-raising halfway to Halloween party that will chase away the springtime blues.

First up: Vintage Halloween games and fortune-telling rituals, the secret of "The Ring Wraith Kid," and ghostly electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) recorded in a haunted apartment. Then: Green glowing footprints (do they belong to a ghost or an alien?), a startling steampunk re-imagining of The Tell-Tale Heart, a haunted pub, and a terrifying true missing persons case. Plus: The Tavern Haunting, and the true account of a haunted cabin in the woods.

Featuring Rogue Transmissions from: Karyn Raynor & Aubree Summers (Chick Lit podcast), Alecia Watson (Twisted & Uncorked and Truly Twisted), Amber & Maddie (Witches Talking Tarot), JT Hosack (Brew Crime), Emma & Becky (Spine Chillers & Serial Killers), Nikki Young (Serial Napper), Jen (Our True Crime Podcast), and Edward October (Octoberpod AM).

Tighten your screams, dust off your shrouds, and bring enough candy to feed a crowd ... because we're throwing a Halfway to Halloween party wild enough to wake the dead on this edition of Rogue Transmissions, the uncanny anthology of exceptional indie podcasts.

April 01, 2025Episode 166 - Seoul National University Hospital Massacre - War Crimes
In this chilling episode of Brew Crime, JT and Mike crack open a cold one and dive deep into one of the lesser-known yet horrifying war crimes of the 20th century — the Seoul National University Hospital Massacre. As North Korean forces swept through Seoul during the Korean War in 1950, hundreds of innocent patients and medical staff were brutally executed inside a place meant for healing.

Join us as we explore the tragic events that unfolded within hospital walls, discuss the broader implications of war crimes, and examine how atrocities like these are remembered (or forgotten) in global history. With our signature blend of cold brews and cold cases, we aim to bring light to a dark chapter of the past that deserves not to be overlooked.
