September 01, 2023 Ep 2 - Part 1: The Terrible Turpin Family
Re-release of Episode 2 - part 1!

Another terrible story - this time of the Turpin Family - ultra religions in some ways, wild in others. David and Louise Turpin kept their children locked in their house of horrors for years. We're talking absolute filth, starvation, torture -- just all-around awful things. Outwardly, they would dress the children the same and take them on vacations!

It's weird!

August 30, 2023 Ep 44: Unimaginable Cruelty - The Chilling Tale of Nurse Lucy Letby
This week’s true crime story is about murdering nurse Lucy Letby and the history of infanticide. We don’t know why anyone would ever hurt a baby - at the end of this convo, we have no answers; we are just exhausted and so sad. This is a recent story of a nurse gone bad… and you are supposed to trust your hospital staff - especially with lives. We mean, that’s obvious, which makes it so much more tragic. Our hearts hurt.
Pictures of calming landscapes via #midjourney #ai because we do not believe #lucyletby’s face needs to be seen anymore.

August 28, 2023 Ep 43: Maya's Curse Unveiled: The Friar Diego De Landa Enigma
Ok. Taylor does not hold back here on how mad she is at this week’s historical subject – in 1562 Franciscan Friar Diego de Landa was so convinced that the Mayan gods were the work of the Christian Devil that he burned all of the Mayan history he could find. Literally, burned in a pile of fire, books, and sculptures, and histories.
At the very least it’s a tragedy of epic proportions and only adds to our never-ending terror that most of the history of the world remains unknown.

August 23, 2023Ep 42: Volcanoes Pt 2 - Time Capsule of Tragedy: Exploring Pompeii's Frozen History
Volcanoes part 2! – This is the story that you’ve all heard - in 79AD Mt. Vesuvius destroyed the Roman resort towns of Pompei & Herculaneum. Imagine not knowing what a volcano is really, then there are earthquakes, then there is pumice on fire flying through the air, THEN it’s pyroclastic flow day - and everything is buried.
It’s a tragedy, but it’s also a miracle, because these towns are the only view we have into Roman life in full color. We can see their rooms, their frescos, how they ate, how they played… in a way that we can’t anywhere else in the world.

August 21, 2023 Ep 41: Sex Dungeons & Dragons: The tale of Colleen Stan
This week Farz tells the true crime story of the kidnapping of Colleen Stan, by the unfortunately named Hookers. It’s a survival story, but not before several long years kept in unimaginable horror. As always, it’s not uplifting.

August 16, 2023 Ep 40: The Indian Jeffrey Dahmer: The tale of Surinder Koli
We’re going back to India for the horrible, horrible story of the Nithari serial murders - Young girls and sex workers went missing in Delhi in 2006, their bodies found tossed into the sewer like garbage. It’s horrible. Businessman Moninder Singh and his servant Surinder Koli were charged with the murders and sentenced to death. It’s both very clear who did it and a mystery.
Photos via the India Times & DNA India - they are haunting. (I’m not doing any AI for this - it’s just not something that makes sense!)
