July 20, 2022 Ep 121: A Regular Footloose Type Situation - Vampires Pt 2
Time for MURDER! We know you guys were waiting with baited breath and we’re evidently trying out a solo episode situation for the next few planned episodes so let us know how you feel about that set up on one of our various social medias below! This is a Roya one and she covers the murders of Ruth Adams and Rick Wendorf by some loser who pretended he was a thousand year old demon.

July 13, 2022 Ep 120: I’m A Top or Nothing - Vampires Pt 1
Much like Alyssa Edwards, we are back back back again! You thought you got rid of us? HA! Wrong. This is a Casey episode where she takes us on a small Epcot tour of Vampires before rounding out the episode with a conversation around the inspiration behind Dracula, Vlad Tepes.
But was he actually the inspiration? A mystery.
Next week Roya talks about what Roya talks about best, MURDER.
