Welcome to episode 11 of our collective existential crisis! Madison tells us about some new additions to the MEC podcast fam and we get a glimpse at Hailey's middle school style choices. Also, Madison has a mission for you: find the haunted doll videos! You won't regret it, I promise. Hailey tells us the story of Brandon Swanson's disappearance and the law his mother helped push through in order to protect other people like her son. Madison tells us about Phil Williams Jr. and the infamous Élan school.

We've only just began to scratch the surface on the troubled teen industry. In order to shed more light on this subject, we also wanted to shout out Tara and the work she's done through her podcast episode and social media. You can find her @allyobsidiann as well as listen to some stories from herself and other people who survived similar institutions on the Surviving Abuse podcast.

It's episode 10 of My Existential Crisis and you'd think we'd know what we're doing by now. This week Hailey talks about more car troubles and Madison finds peace with someone else who understands her love of cleaning videos. Madison (being short on time and energy) discusses all the different ways women used to be punished or tortured in medieval times. Hailey tells us the fascinating story of Anna Anderson... or the Grand Duchess Anastasia?

It's episode 9 and the vapors are getting to us! We're wishing you a very happy (& belated) Valentine's day with germs and Disney and Leonardo DiCaprio. This week, Madison sticks to the theme of undying love (much like hers for Leo) with the twisted tale of Carl Tanzler and his obsession with a young woman that went beyond the grave. Hailey tries to convince us all of why she believes mermaids exist, and shows us some super sexy whale pics in the process.

We learn the origin story of Madison's first time saying a swear word and how her arm was birthed from a vending machine. We also learn about how strangers in cars just love approaching us for some reason, but at least we're smart about it (kinda?). Hailey tells us all about the missing Sodder children and the theories surrounding that, while Madison lightens the mood a little with the story of the strange appearance (and death) of Kaspar Hauser.

In case you didn't know before, Hailey and Madison are theatre kids; you won't forget again after this episode... sorry in advance. MEC is switching things up this week with only ONE story to tell, but boy is it a doozy. Hailey got caught up with home renovations and the city life, so she couldn't make time for us this week (jk, jk). It works out cause Madison brought us the hella long story (and a not so brief history lesson) on the Guildford Four and the Maguire Seven.

The MEC Podcast gang wishes you a happy new year with our messiest show yet! Hailey warns us about the dangers of mixing grapes and dogs, and we see in real time how forgetful Madison is. This week, Hailey tells us about "Ghost Watch," a BBC TV special that caused similar panic to the "War of the Worlds" radio show in the 1930s. Madison tells us about Michael Malloy (also known as Iron Mike/Mike the Durable/the Rasputin of the Bronx), the man who wouldn't die.

Vet visits, doctor's appointments, and big life changes impact Hailey and Madison, but we're always here to lean on each other. This week, Hailey tells us all about the Flannan Isles Lighthouse Mystery (which could have been caused by a huge seabird???) and Madison covers Encephalitis Lethargica (aka The Sleeping Sickness) which will forever haunt us every time we get a sore throat. We also get some answers and discuss the most recent update on "The Boy in the Box"/"America's Unknown Child." Take those "elderbelly" gummies and stay safe out there!

Gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickle... happy Thanksgiving from the MEC podcast gang!

While we've each had a series of unfortunate events this week, we're happy to come together to forget it all for an hour. This week Hailey gives us the latest update on the Lady of the Dunes, a mystery that has been unsolved for decades. Madison takes us back in time to discuss the Dancing Plague which "inflicted" people for nearly half of our time... wait, that's not right...
