We've had stories take place in Florida before, but we've never had a full episode dedicated to America's weirdest place! You most likely will not be surprised by anything in this episode.

June 14, 2021 065 - Budd Dwyer and Danny Casolaro (and More Conspiracies)
Send us a text
Two more completely unrelated stories this week. First, the story of the politician who killed himself on live TV, then the story of a journalist who may have gotten in way too deep. We also get into even more conspiracies.

June 07, 2021 064 - Floyd Collins and Peter Woodcock (and Conspiracies)
Send us a text
We're doing something different this week. Rather than one short story or a series of stories that share a theme, we're covering two completely unrelated tales. First, there's the story of doomed spelunker Floyd Collins. Then, we go to Canada for the unfortunately named Peter Woodcock. We also bust a huge conspiracy wide open.

Happy Memorial Day! This week we're looking at some lesser known stories from the Revolutionary War. It's all about people who were better than Paul Revere, a woman soldier, and an old man that wouldn't be stopped.

May 24, 2021 062 - Dave Sanders
Send us a text
Here's a story you almost certainly have never heard. Dave Sanders wanted to be a hero, and he kind of was for a little bit, if only because no one knew he was a hero.

Worst story ever? Perhaps! If you thought David Parker Ray was rough, maybe skip this week and come back to see what silly shenanigans we have for you next week.

What happens when we die? This week we look at three people who died and came back to life to share what they experienced in the afterlife. Don't worry, this episode isn't as deep as it sounds.
