This week's lighthearted episode is a little collage of two midwest mysteries: some Lake Michigan lake monsters and the HODAG. We also touch on the Long Island Serial Killer case and the man arrested for the Gilgo Beach murders. Finally, we answer the question y'all have been asking: are there muskies in Lake Michigan?

In the spirit of festival season, we are talking concert disasters. Today we discuss the Who Concert Disaster, the Altamont Free Concert, and the Astroworld Festival. We also chat a little about the recent OceanGate Submarine tragedy. So sit back and enjoy folks. Apologies in advance for the audio at some points in this episode. It was about 100 degrees when we filmed this and forgot to turn the AC off.
