My Existential Crisis

Welcome to Episode 18 of MEC! This week, we have Jarod returning to share some of his spooky ooky experiences from Savannah, GA. This week, Jarod dives into the history of the Andrew Low House and shares some pictures from his visit there. Madison gives three different accounts of potential reincarnation stories, from twin sisters, a reincarnated fighter pilot and an Egyptian princess. Yes, we know how insane that sounds. Can't everything just be a little bit true?

Welcome to Episode 17 of MEC! This week, we have a new cohost: Dylan Berger! Dylan is a self-professed jock, and not at ALL a nerd despite what everyone else might say (don't let the wizard beard and cape fool you). This week, Madison discusses the disappearances of Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers in the Panama jungle. Dylan tells us all about "The Secret," a book by Byron Preiss which describes 12 different riddles which lead to 12 different treasures, only three of which have been found. Dylan also exposes how poorly Madison listens and thinks under pressure, especially when it comes to riddles.

Welcome to Episode 16 of MEC! Hailey is BACK, so give her a hearty welcome. Hailey gives us some life updates, such as her recent certification, the ongoing kitchen renovation, and Disney trips. Madison tells us how much her cat Bowie loves bathrooms... maybe too much. This week, Hailey tells us about the Bell Witch and we swap some spooky stories. Madison also has a spooky one for us, as she tells us about Robert the Doll who may be a little too close for comfort.

Welcome to episode 15 of MEC! This week, you only get Madison, so you're just gonna have to deal with zero banter and nothing funny. Rest assured, there will be a cohost next episode to bring some much needed comic relief.

This week, Madison dives into the murder of Meredith Kercher and the wrongful convictions of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. While Meredith is the victim of the murder, it's Amanda Knox's name that has been most attributed to this case. We discuss the perils of the judicial system that convicted them along with the misogyny in the media which muddied up this entire case. Meredith's killer has already been released and was convicted of a much less serious offense than those who were innocent.

It's episode 14 of My Existential Crisis and we have another week of Jarod Shark gracing us with his presence. Jarod starts by telling us about his many ailments and the ways his body puts him into a state of panic. Madison discusses her video journey that has gone from rug cleaning to sheep shearing to hoof cleaning to horse births (…I don't know, this is what life is now I guess). Madison tells the chilling story of the Watcher House, full of dramatic readings and seriously messed up stalking. Jarod dives into the Dyatlov Pass and the mysterious deaths that occurred there.

Episode 13 is here and we're mixing things up with a new voice! Hailey is stepping away for a little bit to take a mental health break, so please welcome Jarod Shark as a substitute co-host. We go way back, having spent high school and college together, and we share a love of theatre which has kept us performing together for years. Jarod covers the scientific theories for one of Madison's aforementioned fears by deep diving into the "uncanny valley." Madison covers a story that has haunted her ever since she heard of it: the disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley.

Welcome to episode 12 of My Existential Crisis. This week Hailey gives us a warning to take heed of: never take a Greyhound bus. Thankfully she made it to her destination safely and got to spend some good quality time with Madison. Madison talks about her biggest fears (which include pickles, heights, elevators, and mannequins) and yes, we know how ridiculous this sounds. Madison discusses the case of Elisa Lam, her death, and the Elevator Game theory that goes along with it. Hailey spends this week talking about stories of sexual assault and violence on women and young girls from men and the media. This conversation was triggered not just by a lifetime of being women and having women in our lives, but from the recent Missouri lawmaker who defended his stance that 12-year-olds should be allowed to get married. This is our Existential Crisis.

We're switching things we this week and bringing you a special episode! Inspired by the 90s show "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction," the MEC gang wanted to recreate this idea for their audience. Madison is telling 5 stories, some true, some completely made up, all completely bizarre. It's up to you to decide which is which. At the end of the episode, Madison will reveal which are which. Hailey will function as the audience and try to make her guesses.

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?
