It's modern history on this guest episode, as friend of the pod Tyler Rowe sits down to discuss the history of the spirit of competition in hip hop (specifically as it's expressed in battles and beefs), and how a 13-year-old girl from Queens helped develop one of rap music's most defining characteristics.

And then it's stories of survival in the minisodes as the pals tell two tales of people making it out alive from situations they had seemingly no chance of.

The theme is schemes this episode as the pals inadvertently each table a story about a grift. First up is Big John Birges and the plot to extort a casino with one hell of a bomb threat; and then it's Anna Sorokin, the Russian (or German?) born New York socialite turned hipster Robin Hood.

This week's theme is stars: First the pals look at the life and career of actress Brittany Murphy, as well as the odd circumstances around her tragic death at age 32. Then it's a different type of star as they recount the Travis Walton UFO abduction story of 1975.

The true stories turn a little more personal this week with SIDK's first bonus episode! Join Jordan and Colby as they ask silly questions about each other and reflect on (and laugh about) the various traumas that made them into the type of people that start a podcast.

Everyone's out for blood in this week's episode - first Colby and Jordan wrap up their two-parter on the very first Ultimate Fighting Championship, where they learn about cool (and uncool) shapes and the rules of a sport that's supposed to have no rules. And then it's a different kind of bloodsport as two PTA moms square off and the pals discuss an incredible overreaction, and the even more incredible fallout for those involved.

On this week's (mostly murder free) episode Jordan and Colby start off by learning about Rosalie Silberman Abella, the first Jewish woman and refugee to sit on Canada's supreme court. Then it's the first half of SIDK's first two parter! The pals talk about the Gracie family and how their unshakable belief in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu paved the way for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

It's the very first guest episode! Friend of the pod and longtime history nerd Travis Green sets the bar high with his story on the epic life of warrior poet Harald Hardrada, and how he inadvertently helped shaped Britain as we see it today. In their first ever minisodes the pals discuss milkmen and missing teens, and delve into the densest city in human history.

On this week's episode the pals go viral as they find out about the world's first (virtual) pandemic - and notice some eerie similarities. And then it's off to Italy, where they explore the grim, exasperating details of the Amanda Knox trial and the media attention she unwittingly received. 

On this week's episode Jordan and Colby learn about the inventor of the bra (which is somehow the least interesting thing about her), and then explore the twisted history of the most infamous black metal band of all time.

Happy Pride!

This week it's scientists and pseudonyms as Colby and Jordan tackle John Lilly's...unconventional dolphin research, and then learn about mystery novelist (and superfan) Dan Mallory.
