TRIGGER WARNING:
Violence, Murder, Blood, and disfigurement of corpses

Well hello Wanderers,
Welcome back to the dramatic 1st part of the Spooktober 2024 finale!
Today we will be talking about the Horrific murders committed by none other than Jack the Ripper. While we still do not know the true identity of Jack, there has been a lot of speculation about who it might have been. One TikToker that Katrina stumbled across (Kiki Schirr) has come up with a new theory of who it could have been, and it just so happens to be one of Kendra's favorite artists...
So please join us and our special guest Max Chivington, if you dare, as we embark on an interesting new Jack the Ripper theory!

Dear Gentle Wanderer,
We welcome you to the third episode of Spooktober 2024!
Apologies for the upload delay, we ran into the Tommy Knockers and they corrupted our sound files.... darn little buggers.
Anyways, today we are talking about the lore of the legendary Mining Tommy Knockers! After our mining excursion, we take a trip to the viral Detroit Bridgerton Ball event, where we take a look at the newest event that failed spectacularly!
So grab a snack, a warm fuzzy drink and dress your best as we take off on yet another adventure!

Bonjour Wanderers!
Welcome to the exciting conclusion of our 2024 Olympics celebration!
For the finale, we are taking it back to the very beginning of the Paralympics!
We start our episode with some recap highlights of the Olympics.

Then at 9:44, we take a detour to talk about a rather unappetizing story from Katrina's place of work..... So please fast forward to 19:13 if you would rather not tarnish your memory of the Olympics with this story. 

At 19:13 we get back on track to the History of the Paralympics.

Thank you all very much for joining us on this wild ride that has been the Summer Olympics 2024! We hope to have you join us again for the Winter Olympics in 2026!
