In this second installment of the Waco Siege, Strange Country cohosts Beth and Kelly discuss some of the features of being in David Koresh's orb. If you were a young—like really young—girl, you'd likely find yourself including in the House of David. This is what his harem of women were called. Because of God or Jesus or the Holy Ghost—not sure which one wants all those wives.

Hello dear readers! Happy Listening Love month! Join Beth and Kelly as we try to learn the real story of Afong Moy, the first Chinese woman immigrant in America. 1834 was the year when middle-class Americans were looking to spend some cash at Marshalls, but could only attend exploitative shows featuring Afong. Learn as little as possible about a woman who everyone was talking about, and no one really cared about. Welcome to 'merica!

As librarians, Beth and Kelly know Bigfoot books are located in the nonfiction section; the 001s for the unexplained, yet to be definitively proved. But for Bigfootaphiles, the penultimate proof is a nearly minute-long shaky film of a sasquatch walking near a creek bed shot in 1967 in northern California. Strange Country delves into this film and other Bigfoot encounters in this episode. And answers the question, is the film legit. Short answer? No. Long answer? Nooooooooooooooo.
