Morbid

It's Alaina's science corner time again! With Ash on a quick vacation and new baby Morbid finally here, our schedules have been crazy. So what better time for another solo science adventure with Alaina. Tonight, we discuss the science of fear. Why do some people love frightening things and others actively avoid them? We discuss the psychology as well as the biological factors at play here while also talking about extreme haunted houses and the level of commitment to a love of fear that they require.

We are back with another installment of your crazy ass tales, guys! We asked for them and you delivered in spades. Not only was this episode was recorded hours before baby Morbid entered our lives but it also has dead bodies in sheds, ghosts who fold your bedding, someone getting slapped in the face with a knife and some truly touching tales of loved ones from beyond the grave. Come on in, the water is insane and Ash cries in the episode.

Mondays don't rank high on everyone's list but in 1979 Brenda Ann Spencer took this cliche to a horrifically violent place. With 2 dead and 9 injured, she had one simple reason for her rampage; "I just don't like Mondays".

It's finally here! We have threatened to share your listener tales of true crime and general spookiness for over a year now and we have finally done it. In Episode 1 of Listener Tales, we are going to hear about a Pet Cemetery cat, a trip into the Black Forest in Germany, a couple of terrifying ghosts, an unsolved child murder and a near miss with a machete. It's intense, it's hilarious at times and it will probably give you nightmares. Come on in!

It's a historical mini! This week's tiny Morbid is a good old fashioned mystery/whodunit. After a long journey through the hellfire that was Dennis Rader, I think we can all use something lighter and possible politically charged murder is just the ticket. The Princes in the Tower takes us back to Tudor England when there was a real life game of thrones happening and sometimes things and often people got in the way of throne succession.

It's finally here! The final chapter of our Dennis Rader saga has arrived and this one is the longest yet. In this crescendo, we will take you through his final murders, his 10 year downtime and his eventually resurfacing and capture. It's been real but holy hell are we happy to be done with Dennis. Get out of my head, you loser.

In today's installment of "DENNIS IS THE WORST", we cover the horrific murders of Kathryn Bright and Shirley Vian as well as talk about Dennis' Paraphiliac tendencies and how his narcissistic behavior led him to take ridiculous measures to insert himself into the unsolved murders.

This is an Ash-centric Mini and it is a heartbreaker. 15 year old Seath Jackson was ruthlessly ambushed by his peers, some of which he had considered friends. His murder was cold, calculated and brutal.

Yes, this is a long episode but this loser has a lot of layers to peel back. In Part 1, we talk about Dennis Rader's childhood, his marriage and his first foray into the world of Bind, Torture, Kill. It's a bumpy and weird ride, guys. Dennis Rader is a strange and frustrating case.
