It's a Christmas miracle: Lincoln & Welles are back with a Scoundrelcast to talk about William Cunningham, gentleman graverobber. (One of those two words accurately describes him.) Hear his charming exploits, like shipping a stolen body American Express and pranking some med students by giving them smallpox. What a card!

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi"

In this time of social distancing and existential dread, Lincoln & Welles are here to keep you company...and perhaps be your new leaders? We answer listener questions and accidentally get sincere a couple of times. Topics: pizza tattoos, apocalypse couture, CORVID-19 (the crow virus), Talespin cultists, and a genuine salute to America's heroic service and healthcare workers.

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi"

After a four month hiatus, Tyler & Ben return to cover the most monumental topics of our time: Clark County Jailer Squatty Doyle; the most famous salamander in Herzegovina; a Roman brain preserved in glass; how White Castle discredited the Indiana judiciary, and more. Stay tuned to the end for a new segment: $trip Club Tip$.

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi," "Still Pickin'"

Lincoln & Welles bring notorious scoundrels to justice! Tyler exposes the wife-swapping deeds of occultist Alessandro Cagliostro, and Ben shines a light on Southern politician and bingo criminal Tommy Burnett. Also: Getting stuck in an elevator with the pope, going missing in Iceland, and an amazing list of baseball heroes.

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi," "Amazing Plan"

This episode is only to be listened to in the event of moon disaster! In another "Everything is Gothic" roundup, we address the subterranean crimefighting of Pope Benedict, critique Richard Nixon's speech about moondeath, prepare for our new tardigrade overlords, and praise a large hog for crushing a Bud Light Lime.

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi," "Not As It Seems"

Crank up the steam calliope, inflate the hydrogen sacs of the mighty dirigible, and put gas in the deep sea sub, because we're going on an adventure! Lincoln & Welles compete to navigate the toxic sump of human knowledge that is Wikipedia, and along the way discover the devil's violin, cosmic Giuseppes, some war crimes, and a suspect grasp of African geography and political history!

Music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi," "Take a Chance," and "Local Forecast" 

Introducing a new feature called "Everything is Gothic." We track down news of the strange and macabre, and then goof on it. In this episode we investigate: Crowcrimes, all the beards that goths can have, ladybug-pocalypse, and the horrors of BYUtv's spring schedule!

Now with (slightly) improved audio quality and more aggressive editing! We put the final nail in Game of Thrones' coffin, and look forward to spinoffs like Boythrone and Gardening with Bronn. Ben is reading The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, and relates the you-had-to-be-there tale of his first piano recital. (If you actually want to hear his recital pieces, there are home recordings up on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/btmm21)

Theme music: "Whiskey on the Mississippi"

Hi, we're your Bene-Jesuit Witch Hosts! This episode is only for people who live in states with panhandles, or lighthouse attendants on rainswept islands. We talk about the mystery of the yeti, our new sponsor Stamps dot horse, Game of Thrones, The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, and the Italian painter Caravaggio. Also: Harrison Ford, Emperor Palpatine's first name, the time Ben had his jaw wired shut, and we tease a delicious story about Ben's first piano recital for next time.
