Superfans of the true crime podcast "My Favorite Murder" call themselves Murderinos. On this episode Apryl and Rachael meet a couple of the founders of the LA Murderino group and find out why true crime is so popular — especially among women.

In this Very Special Minisode RUFSM, Apryl and Rachael let you in on a secret which will give you untold POWERS! Okay, maybe not untold powers, but certainly a decent chance at having your voice heard and being accurately represented by your elected officials. And for you living in Los Angeles District Assembly 51, this is time sensitive knowledge - so listen up!

This week Apryl and Rachael announce plans for the 2018 season of RUFSM and give a sneak peek of what's in store. Learn about one of the early shapers of Los Angeles, Charles F. Lummis, and join A and R on a visit to his rustic, handmade house and to the museum he created to preserve and highlight Native American art and artifacts, the Southwest Museum.

Today we take a magical journey. Figuratively, that is.  Join us as we travel from the somewhat hazy origins of the word Abracadbra to modern day magic. Our very special guest today is Siegfried Tieber, a delightful (and talented!) close up magician who also happens to be a performer at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles.

We're in the middle of the holiday season and, frankly, things have been crazy busy in our world. BUT we didn't want to leave you hanging, so we've decided to re-air one of our favorite episodes. Come along for the ride!

Please note: We include a clip of sound bath audio in this episode. The use of crystal bowls in sound baths have been known to create binaural beats. While binaural beats have been shown to reduce anxiety in pro-op for surgery, they can also have a hypnotic effect and may cause seizures for people with epilepsy or certain heart conditions. If you have either of these conditions, please consult a doctor before listening to the sound bath audio or skip past that section.

From Beaver Butts to Cat Island, Rachael and Apryl lean into the rando in this third installation of Rando Facto.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a Super Ager! For some people over 80, their memory and cognitive skills are as sharp as ever. They are called Super Agers. We spoke with neuroscientist Emily Rogalski to learn more about the amazingly youthful brains of these folks.

This week, in honor of Thanksgiving, you'll learn about turkey dumping (it's not as gross as it sounds), find out what families in New Orleans do on Thanksgiving Day, and hear Rachael's favorite family holiday memories, as RUFSM features the one and only episode from Apryl's old podcast, The Family Jewels.

Marlon Brando is a known entity. Or, is he?

For some, he was the genius who changed acting. For others, he was the mad man who didn't bother to deliver a line the way it was written. While both of those things may be true, it turns out there was much more to him. Come along as Austin Wilkin, Archivist for the Marlon Brando Estate, talks to us about Brando the Activist and Brando the Environmentalist and, yes, Brando the Actor.
