Let's talk about 16th-century 'prophet' Nostradamus! There's nothing spooky here unless you want there to be! If you DO, then heck, there's a lot to unpack! We'll talk about his 942 prophecies that foresaw everything from Napolean to Nagasaki. AND this one? What could it mean??

Upon the airwaves, voices strong will sail,

From depths of despair, tales of trials unveil,

Listeners gathered from distant realms hail,

"Doomed to Fail" shall in success prevail.

In our final episode on The Olympics, Taylor tells the story of Olympic Hero Richard Jewell. Jewell was a "law-enforcement" type of guy who, despite being fired from law enforcement, would take any opportunity to tell you that he had 'scanned the perimeter' and 'knew how to diffuse a bomb.' In July 1996 he was working security at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta when a bomb very much did go off at 1:20am. Richard was a hero, getting people out of the way and cooperating with the cops.

Unfortunately, in a rush to judgment, the FBI decided he was also the perfect suspect and decided to ruin his life. It wouldn't be until 2003 that the actual bomber was apprehended.

Today, we go south to talk about the terrible serial killers Luis Garavito & Pedro Lopez. Separately, these two are the top two killers on record, killing nearly 200 children each. There's nothing to sugar coat here - these guys took advantage of poverty and the terrible human condition to commit some of the most atrocious crimes possible.

Ok. This is horrible. This week we talk the Olympics from 1950 - 1980. Some fun stuff happens, some records are broken. Mark Spitz wins 7 gold medals in swimming, with a mustache! We really feel like that might have slowed him down.

But, the big horrible story is the Massacre at Connollystraße 31 on September 5, 1972. Eleven Israeli athletes were taken hostage by members of "Black September," a Palestinian terrorist group. Two are killed in the Olympic Village and the rest are killed in a gun/grenade battle on an airfield later. They were husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers. Trapped in a constant cycle of revenge that sees no sign of stopping.
