  • S2 E15: Robert Durst

    Good Momu! This week we chat about someone that *almost* got away with their terrible decisions. Wrap up that pep talk in the mirror and don't forget to refill that coffee- because this case is a ride. And we are stoked that Development Hell is back! Kyle, Richard, AND SPIKE "I'm Sorry Brenna Smokes Too Much Weed To Remember Important Information" KITTRELL are some really awesome folks that put in a lot of work. Give them a listen!

        Good Mourning, Beanybeans! Today's terrible tale is brought to you by Smitty, our new friend that we met at ScoopFest! Thank you, Smitty! Did Melanie kill her husband? Did Bill mess with the wrong people in Atlantic City? We chat about that and more around a divided breakfast nook. Keep an eye out for a Trivia Showdown Espresso Shot later this week from ScoopFest with The Pod Therapy guys.

                Good Momu! This week we tackle a tale so terrible its gonna take two parts to cover the whole thing. First we learn the history of a monster and the details of the horrifying crime he committed on eight young nursing students. Let's raise a mug for our fellow Bean, Clo... and thank them for the nightmares.

                        Good Mourning! Remember the 'Tap' we tapped when we "tapped" a 'Tap' in the Tylenol Murders episode? Well, top up your mugs and keep the pot brewing because Amanda took the deep dive. We make our way through the heartbreaking story of someone in desperate need of care in a time when mental health wasn't taken seriously. Misinformation is dangerous. We all have a lot of our own stuff going on, so don't forget to be kind beans!

                                Goooood mourning, Beans!!! Today we really DIG into this case. I've heard of a wolf in sheep clothing, but in grandma clothing? What is this? Little Red Riding Hood?? Grab your mugs and maybe a shovel…. Do you know what’s in your backyard? This may very well be a boarding house from hell.

                                Good Morning, Beans! This week we chat about the vigilantism that inspired the fictitious Floridian forensic analyst, Dexter.
