There I was, minding my own business, cooking up the latest episode of the pod when B strumpets in with a barrel of juicy little financial crimes. And I chomped down on that sucker and didn't let go, they had to call in the jaws of life so that B could help Cohost this episode. We are talking about the grifts of Marianne Andele, aka Smyth and many other names. We got big grifts, small grifts, grifts that didn't net any money, this person just can't stop grifting, they're a walking grift machine. So give us a listen and strap yourselves in because you're about to witness a train wreck!

Ho boy, buckle up it is time for another bonus episode. And spoilers, this is not good. We watched "The Turning", so you don't have to. As our hero slowly realizes they may be underqualified to deal with two troubled children, she is wracked with visions of spooky ghouls in the night. Is it ghost or something more internal? Hop on into our podmobile and let us take you away on a journey to a faraway place that definitely isn't set in Maine.

All aboard the Old Timey Train - choo choo!! Class is in session once more as Professor B breaks out another crazy and harrowing story about a fire, this time in our beloved Portland! Come along to 1866, where some poor planning and bougie ennui worked in tandem to demolish over a third of the city. Our hosts also discover that numbers and dates are hard!

We're (regretfully) going back to our favorite Gothic manor - Collinwood! B and Jackson are very disappointed in the lack of vampires (#JusticeforBarnabas). As they wade through unresolved tension and loose plot threads, our intrepid hosts may just be able to salvage this movie through a Kickstarter!

Trigger warning today, we will be discussing the murder of a child. In 1954 Daniel Wood went off to fish with friends, never to return. All we know is he called his mom to say he got hired by a travelling salesman, only to be found dead nine days later. This is a truly awful story, but B and Jackson look into this grisly history and think about the world of yesterday versus today. All this and more.
