We know that you heard from Roya last, but this case was important so we wanted to interrupt our previously established episodes to get this in here while it’s super relevant. Earlier this year, an injustice was done in Florida (shocker) and there may be some time to help make a difference. If you would be so kind to take a few seconds to sign this petition if you feel moved by the situation, Roya and Casey would greatly appreciate it.

Roya takes Casey and you all on a trip through a fairly cut and dry crime, but is it all it seems to be? The assailant, while not justified, was also made to be a victim his entire life. Abuse and cruelty compounded with hereditary mental health struggles seemed to leave a young man with no chance at avoiding violence. 

Also Roya was moving this episode so she was recording in an empty room, hence the difference in audio.

Let us sell you a movie idea. It’s the 1950s, rural Kentucky, a hootenanny is happening when aliens attack. Well, good news, you don’t have to wait for the summer blockbuster, Casey is here to tell you all about the Sutton Family and how they fought off (?) an alien invasion (?) on their farm. Look up the pictures or the social media posts. You won’t regret it.

Ever been interested in ancient Sumerian poetry? No? Well, this might not be the episode for you then. In this episode, Roya talks about a Sumerian myth, the Descent of Inanna. Who is Inanna? You might know her as Ishtar. Where is she descending from? The Great Above. Where is she descending to? The Great Below.

Who, or what, is eating all the roadkill in Wisconsin? Is it vultures or other carrion birds? Nah, it’s almost certainly a werewolf, dog man from hell and/or space. Leaving us with a lot of room to speculate and make wild connections between gray clouds being the product of aliens because aliens are also gray, Casey tells us about The Beast of Bray Road, an urban legend from Wisconsin. Or is it?

Did you ever wonder how the potato became so big in Europe? No? Well, too bad, you’re gonna learn today. Roya takes the pod on a trip to yester-century as we talk about how the potato got to Europe, how it got so big in Germany and the king who was better at image rehab than any PR person in 2023, Frederick the Great.

The case that’s taken TikTok by storm, Roya covers the twists and turns of the love… line(?) between Dave Kroupa, Cari Farver and Liz Golyar. Some sus antics, a finger print on a mint tin and a solid tech based bust with some actual good detective work for once!

Do you want to listen to a podcast episode where Roya learns about her Persian history from an unexpected source, Casey! She’s on nightshift again folks which means she’s feral! But it’s just starting so she’s at least coherent still. Does she describe a historical king as ‘very slay’ yes. Yes she does.

Finally, Roya has a chance to explore about an hour of science as we talk about the Voynich Manuscript, a mysterious book that no one knows anything about. Parts don’t make sense. Is it aliens? A medieval fraud? The first copy of Cosmo? We don’t really know, but it certainly interested Roya.
