Cassandra and Sarah look at an odd mix of things today! It's the birthday of the inventor of the zipper, the death-day of one of Cassandra's favourite writers (things are so much clearer now...) and a king's ship proves why bigger isn't always better.

In today's mini-sode, Cassandra and Sarah look at the birthday of a doctor who's work could improve the lives of millions, the death of a bard we were forced to study in school (don't worry, no test!) and we raise a glass to the world's oldest active food law.

In episode 3 of our mini-series, Cassandra and Sarah bite into three pieces of history. The birth and life of Bettie Paige (who deserves her own full episode in the future!), the death of (un?)popular president Richard Nixon, and we add a touch of class by covering 'Swan Lake'. The history, of course. It may be better to watch real swans than watch us attempt ballet.

Sarah and Cassandra are back with another mini-sode! The birthdays of 2 queens are covered, the death of a Flemish surgeon who's invention has saved countless lives is honoured, and the publication of the world's most famous Nessie photo is remembered.

It's Cassandra and Sarah, bringing you a new mini-series as Michelle gets her laptop fixed! Join us as we cover one birth, one death, and one world event, things that don't fit our main format in a bite-sized. Today, we cover celebrate the birthday of gay rights activist George Takei, the death of celebrated author Bram Stoker, the controversial time of Pierre Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada, and the Deepwater Horizon disaster.

In 2023 we came up with an idea to do a podcast. Of course, famous last words are ‘how hard can it be?’ Let us tell you, as well as other things we’ve learned while making this show. We laugh, share behind the scenes shenanigans and go over our plans for the future in this season end recap.

Running Late on the next two episodes we apologies! We will explain it in our end of season wrap up. I decided to release this episode on the anniversary of the day the Lutz family fled the house.

‘The Amityville Horror’ was reportedly based on two real events. We look at them, trying to tease out the Hollywood treatment and focus on the real horrors that happened. A special note that this episode does talk about the murders of children, although we try to address them as sensitively as possible.
