This week, we're off to South Africa for the first time, and it's a heavy one. This might be the sickest episode we've done for quite some time, so we apologize in advance. You'll never look at jellyfish the same again, it's the Stewart Wilken story!

This week, we're back for a history episode that could be subtitled 'Really, What's the Worst That Could Happen?' This is the story of how one shipwreck led to a period of English history called 'The Anarchy', and why it's always troublesome to lack a penis. It's the story of The White Ship!

This week, we're off to Minnesota to cover a truly annoying serial killer who is only remembered for one reason. After the majority of his crimes, this asshat would make a call to 911, and confess in a blubbering, high pitched voice. Because of this, he was given the nickname most people remember him by, The Weepy Voiced Killer. And we're going to mock this guy relentlessly, because it's the story of Paul Michael Stephani!

This week, we're back for part two of Anthony Sowell. There are more attacks and murders, and the stench in his East Cleveland neighborhood grew worse as Sowell was not skilled at body disposal. Along with this, the ECPD did nothing as at least three women came forward to report being assaulted by Sowell, so there's that.

And a huge thank you to Bill from Crimes, Killers, Cults and Beer for the pacemaker ad at the beginning of the show!

This week, we're off to Cleveland to cover one of the city's worst killers. Anthony Sowell was an alcohol and crack cocaine fueled serial killers who murdered at least 11 women from 2007 to 2009. And after one failed attempt at properly burying his first victim, Sowell would later just leave the bodies of his victims strewn around the house to rot.

This week, we're back in our home country of Canada to cover the story of Serge Archambault. A serial killer responsible for the deaths of three women, it's the ridiculous details of this case that really make it stand out. Get ready to hate a Frenchmen, because this guy is vile.

This week, we're back for the final part of the Richard Cottingham story, and we're jumping straight into some of his most graphic crimes. Which makes sense, as at this time, Cottingham was completely unraveling.

Hey, we're back with another two parter, and this one is on a man that could turn out to be one of America's most prolific serial killers. Operating in New York and New Jersey throughout the 1970's, this man was originally convicted of 5 murders in 1980, and as of 2023, he has confessed and/or been convicted of 17. It's as if a swine put on pants, worked with computers and preyed on women, it's the Richard Cottingham story!
