Station 59 episodes

  • Episode 69: Schrödinger's Matilda

    Oh hey! Welcome to my house of illness and death and sadness! (:

    This week, we're diving into the history and hauntings of the May-Stringer House in Brooksville, FL (AKA the most haunted home in the sunshine state!)

    I also decided to shake up the formatting, so if you wanna keep it strictly business, today's your day!

    It's episode 69, baby! Let's get Mr. Nasty!

  • Episode 68: The One Where I'm Awkward at Parties

    Do you ever feel uncomfy in a social setting, so you make a reference to a niche historical event only to realize no one knows what you're talking about so now you have to explain it and suddenly that's the first thing people remember about you?


    Yeah, me neither. Anyway, this episode is about one such niche historical event. That's the Kentucky Meat Shower. In 1876, chunks of mystery meat rained from the sky. We're gonna talk about it. Let's get weird and gross.

  • Episode 67: My Life is in Shambles, Let's Talk Ghosts

    Well, well, well... look what the cat dragged in...

    Me. It's me.

    And this week, we get into what really counts as the Midwest, some unenthusiastic life updates, and the story of Madison Seminary. Madison has lived many lives, and in the process, apparently collected many spirits. We're gonna talk about them.

  • Episode 66: Let Women Be Weird

    Picture this: a girl who knows nothing about firearms tries to teach you about the history of firearms. In the background, a cat furiously attacks a bookshelf... These are just a few of the soothing soundscapes featured on this week's episode.

    Today, we're talking the Winchester Mystery House and the century-old gossip around its architect, Sarah Winchester. This story is a classic for a reason, of course, but what if we've had it all wrong this whole time?

  • Signal Interference: Cryptid Cocktail Party & The Black Flash of Provincetown

    We're picking up a strange signal...


    This week, the Station is experiencing a little interdimensional interference, and the transmission comes from a podcast I LOVE: Cryptid Cocktail Party.

    Hosts Dave and Sarge blend hilarious real-time reaction with deep-dive cryptid research, and today's episode is all about the eerie legend of the Black Flash of Provincetown - a flame spitting, panic-inducing figure sighted in a Massachusetts town in the late 1930's/early 1940s.


    Tune in, enjoy the chaos, and if you like what you hear, check out Cryptid Cocktail Party here.

  • Episode 65: Trust Me, Babe, I'm a Diplomat

    Drama warning! This week on Station 59, we're diving into the story of Gregor MacGregor and the Poyais Scheme - a wild ride of a story about a man who swindled hundreds across Europe into immigrating to a country that didn't exist.


    Along the way, I get very candid about the current state of affairs and maybe I get a little emotional... And swear too much. Sue me. Or just grab a drink, get cozy, and remember that there is such a thing as committing too hard to the bit.

  • Episode 64: This Box is Haunted and I Hate It

    This week on Station 59, we're diving into the reasons I deserve a snow day and the trials and tribulations of having a puppy. Oh, and the Dybbuk Box, obviously.

    We unpack its origins, alleged hauntings, and how this stupid little stinky box became one of the most infamous paranormal objects of all time.

    Light a candle, grab a blanket, and keep a close eye on your antique finds.

  • Episode 63: Oops! All Bad

    Ahoy! This week on Station 59, we’re diving (literally) into the story of the Mary Celeste - a ship found adrift at sea, inexplicably missing her entire crew. We talk possible curses, logical explanations, and a whole lot of theories that fall somewhere in between.

    Along the way, we’ll also chat personal wins, personal fears, and my ongoing inability to pronounce words correctly… ever.

  • Episode 62: How Many Ghosts is Too Many Ghosts?

    This week on Station 59, I’m catching you up on life over the holidays, plans for the future of the show, and then speed-running the lengthy history of Chillingham Castle as one deeply underqualified American.

    We’re talking gratuitous violence, medieval torture methods, and some piping hot 14th century tea. Chillingham has truly seen it all, and managed to collect over 100 spirits in the process.
