at least twelve people were murdered in a run-down 1930s Cleveland neighborhood - and despite being the "largest police investigation in Cleveland history," the murders are all unsolved. the killer purposely targeted vulnerable populations and performed "experiments," but no one knows what the experiments were supposed to prove. LOTS of human garbage in this episode.

This week, kimmy and kelsey are telling you stories from the afterlife. Kind of. What even is reincarnation? What happens after we die? Hear 5 stories of possible reincarnation -- a woman who swears she’s Anne Frank, a little boy who remembers his life as Princess Diana, twins who were reincarnated as their sisters who passed away, a kid who SWEARS he remembers dying on the titanic and a boy who remembers dying by jumping out of a window in a hotel fire… that actually checks out.

THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT! Happy pride! For our pride episode, we’re talking about the life and death of Marsha P. Johnson, the transgender queen who pioneered LGBTQ+ rights. Kelsey tells us about the Stonewall riots that served as a catalyst for the yearly pride celebration we now know and love. But we remind you and ourselves that pride is not just a month-long party of rainbows and corporate rainbow washing -- and that cops do not belong at pride.

we're going back to the before times, when "quarantine" was not just a fun and quirky suggestion! mary mallon made a DELICIOUS peach ice cream that also infected possibly hundreds of people with typhoid fever because mary didn't wash her hands. but mary wasn't sick, and germ theory wasn't developed, so mary didn't believe she could possibly be infected with typhoid. ALAS, mary has a doomed fate. smoke with us and let's talk about it!
