In today's episode, Emily talks about the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in Tracy, CA in 1969. This was a counterculture rock concert headlined by The Rolling Stones that resulted in multiple deaths  - including the murder of Meredith Hunter by one of the "security guards" aka a member of the Hells Angels. Then Rachel gets spooky and talks about Flight 19, a group of planes that disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle during WWII. Hopefully, you're horrified!

First, Rachel heads to Nyírbátor, Hungary to tell the tale of Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed - a Hungarian noblewoman and purported serial killer & sadist that bathed in blood to stay young. Then, Emily honors Transgender Day of Remembrance (Nov. 20) by telling us the history of San Fransisco's brutality against trans people and the Compton's Cafeteria Riot of 1966, the first act of resistance against police brutality (even before Stonewall).
