The Dark Roast Pod

Welcome! Kim is on the floor as Laura tells us the story of the 1963 government experiment of radiation effects on testicles. You read that right. It's terrible. In the second half of our episode, Kim tells you about a couple witches in Greek mythology. This is a pretty bad episode for men all around...

May your ex die in a particularly unspectacular way like Jason, who betrayed his wife.

How is January treating you, little roastlings? Hopefully better than the stranger than fiction-like story of Victoria Cilliers, her whack-ass husband Emile, and the other women he manipulated. Later, we talk about the origins of Jesus's grandmother. You read that right. Help us unpack.

We have a short episode for you today but hot damn, is there a lot to unpack here! We discuss the strange life and death of Simon Dale, his ex-wife Susan Wilberforce/de Stempel and their peculiar marriage and divorce.  Later, we go over Janus and new beginnings (partially because Kim discussed Sailor Pluto with Cody over at Canadian Kooks. Take a listen to our friends. Also, watch Sailor Moon). And remember, no dick is worth killing your friend over.

Happy Holidays, Roastlings! Join us as we exchange gifts, discuss Joseph's careful debate about what he's going to chew, and people who try to ruin your eating habits. Laura tells us the incredibly fucked up story of Bruno Fernandes Das Dores de Souza (spoiler alert: we hate him). Kim then reads you the story, "Dark Christmas" by  Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Holidays! Today Laura discusses the disappearance of Sky Metalwala, the sketchy circumstances surrounding the situation, and possible theories. After, settle in with some hot chocolate and Turkish Delight, because Kim tells you the fairy tale of the Snow Queen, who likes to kidnap children and was the inspiration for Elsa and also the White Witch in Chronicles of Narnia.

In this week's episode, Laura covers the story of Rita Gorgonowa, a lady who may or may not have done messed up things. Let us know what you think. Kim regales us with stories of 3 witches in history (Agnes Sampson, Merga Bien, Malin Matsdotter) who were probably more innocent than you think. Because it's been a while since she bummed you out like that. There's also a ghost, horoscopes, and cows...?
