This week, Dana gifts Anthony a chaotic Thanksgiving history lesson that starts with typhoid (because of course it does), then spirals into the grim past of Roosevelt Island and the fallout of Reagan-era mental-health cuts. It’s a story about disease, neglect, forgotten New Yorkers, and the strange ways history shapes the city we think we know — all told with the usual Caviar and Criminals blend of dark humor and uncomfortable truth.

For our 50th episode, we’re taking you to Seoul — where one of the most advanced democracies on earth briefly found itself run like a very organized cult retreat.

This is the unbelievable (and somehow very modern) story of how President Park Geun-hye — once marketed as the “Queen of Clean Politics” — let her childhood friend, Choi Soon-sil, quietly run the country using a mix of spiritual guidance, shaman-lite rituals, and a suspicious amount of influence for someone with zero government title.

For our 50th episode, we’re breaking down how a country lost control in ten very culty steps — and what it takes to get it back.

This week, we’re unlocking the Caviar & Criminals vault and bringing you one of the strangest political scandals of the 2000s — and Anthony is telling Dana every wild detail.

Before “ghosting” was a dating term, the Governor of South Carolina perfected it. Mark Sanford vanished for six full days, leaving his staff scrambling, the media spinning, and an entire state wondering who exactly was in charge. The official explanation? He was “hiking the Appalachian Trail.” The truth… was thousands of miles away.

Anthony walks Dana through the governor who went missing, the affair that blew the story open, and the press conference that became instant American political folklore. It’s surreal, it’s chaotic, and it’s a perfect reminder that sometimes the strangest stories aren’t crimes — they’re politics.

This Halloween, Dana takes Anthony back to a time before Salem — to the dark woods of colonial Connecticut, where fear and faith collided in the first witch trials on American soil. Long before the infamous hysteria of 1692, towns like Hartford and Windsor were already haunted by accusations, curses, and executions. In this chilling special, the two uncover the forgotten women who were condemned as witches, the Puritan paranoia that fueled their trials, and how these early cases set the stage for America’s most notorious witch hunts.
