October 20, 2025 Ep 221: Defending your right to say it - The ACLU & Freedom of Speech
Voltaire kind of said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." And that's pretty much Freedom of Speech in the US. You CAN say stuff, you aren't immune to consequences, but the basic right does exist.

Today we'll talk about the founding of the ACLU, and the time that they supported the right to have a bad opinion.

October 17, 2025 Re-Release: The Notorious JTR - Jack the Ripper
It's Victorian London - and if you aren't rich, things are awful. (That's actually a pattern of all of humanity and of all time if you take a second to reflect on the greed.) Imagine, though, that it's specifically the kind of awful where you are on the streets selling yourself for money in order to buy crappy booze and sleep in an even crappier rooming house if you can.

Taylor read a lot of books for this - and although she doesn't believe that DNA evidence will ever find Jack the Ripper - she does believe that he probably snuck up on his victims while they were sleeping in alleyways, which I don't know changes it a bit.

October 15, 2025 Re-Release: Ghosts, Murderers, & Dead Bodies - The Cecil Hotel
Farz & Taylor met in 2013 when they started working at a startup in Downtown Los Angeles.
We understand that some people like DTLA, but Taylor personally lived in New York City for 13 years before this and has never set foot in a worse place than the area around Pershing Square.
We say that because the Cecil Hotel is just a block away from where we worked, and as soon as we got into the neighborhood, Elisa Lam's body was found in a water tower. That's not the only thing to happen there, from the Night Stalker coming 'home' after a night of stalking & murdering, to ghosts in the lobby, and secret hotels within a hotel - this has it all!

October 13, 2025 Re-Release: Absolutely no way to stop mass shootings - The Port Arthur Massacre
In 1996, Australian weirdo Martin Bryant killed 35 people in the deadliest shooting in Australian history. He's the worst, annoying and rude, he killed his landlords and tourists, going on a spree that shocked the nation.

Australia followed up with a mass gun buyback program that has made Australia safer from gun violence, but it still has all those bugs.

October 08, 2025 Re-Release: Footprints in the Snow - The Hinterkaifeck Murders
Imagine you live on a farm in Germany. It's winter. Your maid quits because she hears footsteps in the attic, you find a newspaper from a faraway town in the yard, and there are footsteps in the snow coming towards your house, but NOT leaving???

You would, of course, be right to be scared. Let's revisit the story of the Gruber family (and their NEW maid who was only on the job ONE day) and how their bodies were found in the barn. Someone had killed them, stayed and taken care of the animals for a while, and fled.

Who do you think did it??

We put this on YouTube once and mentioned it was Taylor's Favorite Murder, and someone commented 'Who cares what your favorite murder is!?' and we were like, who are you? Have you not been on the internet yet? First day?

Let's revisit one of the most famous murders of the 20th century - and a highlight from our tenth episode! So, OJ Simpson absolutely killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. It's a tragedy that there was no justice and his poor poor kids.

Anyway! Does anyone even read these descriptions?? This is the first of several murder rereleases!
