In the late 1600s, King Louis XIV's kingdom was rocked by a deadly scandal that threatened to destroy his monarchy. There was a rash of poisonings going on throughout France, often perpetrated by the king's fellow noblemen who were murdering one another in order to speed up their inheritances or to knock off their rivals. It's a story that includes murder, political intrigue, black magic, sex, Satanism and conspiracies. It's a story that has gone down in history to be known as The Affair of the Poisons.

October 12, 2020 Ep. 138 - The Rising
Voodoo is a religious practice that grew up in Haiti after the Spanish imported tens of thousands of African slaves to the island, bringing their beliefs and religion with them. One of the core beliefs in the religion is that some powerful voodoo practitioners have the ability to resurrect the dead, bringing them back to life in a form Hollywood has made well known to all of us. In this episode I tell you all about the secret history of zombies.
