The Freak Show

& Covid-19, of course. 

In the last episode before we take a Shelter-in-Place break, Megan finally gets to share the freakiest celebrity story she can find. Then Lauren breaks down the horrors of REM Behavior Disorder. Nightmare material, for sure.

Don't worry, freaks. We'll be back at it as soon as we can. Until then, stay safe, keep your social distance, call your people and wash your damn hands. 

Coming to you from the Chicago Covid-19 quarantine! The world is full of things to freak out about right now, we're here to add to that list.

First up, Lauren shares stories from solitary confinement. Then Megan introduces us to the Hitchhiker Slayer. Both terrible, both freaky.

Stay safe out there, wash your hands, and if you get bored, send us topics at [email protected]. 

Listen freaks, Lauren would like to apologize for her topic this week. But also, you know what you signed up for so... she takes it back. Your reward for making it through her story of the Ken & Barbie Killers is Megan ruining yet another thing for all of us. This time, it's acupuncture. 

This week, we learn an important lesson: don't trust anyone ever. 

In part one of this lesson, Lauren sheds light on the world's worst roommate, Jamison Bachman. Then Megan really drives it home with the story of twin sisters who just refuse to speak. 

Happy March, freaks! 

Combining her fascination with movie stars and communist dictatorships, Lauren tells the wild tale of two South Koreans kidnapped and put to work by Kim Jong-il in the 70s. Then Megan... well, Megan does what she does best – shares a topic that is devastating and makes Lauren yell a lot. Enjoy, freaks! 

When Megan mixes up a cocktail called Toilet Water, you know you're in for a treat. Or more specifically, you're in for the very depressing story of Pam Babcock and the still-unsolved murder of Robert Wone.

Be sure to listen to the very end for a detailed update on Lauren's 2020 goals. Riveting stuff! 

Sometimes, unfortunately, love does conquer all. That's what Megan teaches us in this delightful, devastating episode. Thankfully, Lauren lightens the mood with some horrifying too-close-to-home Mothman sightings. Enjoy! 

After making what could go down as the strongest drink in Freak Show history, Lauren tells the riveting tale of Diane Downs. Then Megan sheds light on the horrors of war AND sharks with the story of the USS Indianapolis. 

Season 3: Here We Do It.

Megan and Lauren are back and freakier than ever for the first episode of season 3. First, Lauren ruins UBER for all of us, then Megan ruins being a human with the very terrible phenomenon known as spontaneous human combustion. 

We're back, freaks! 

For the 5th and final episode of Bone the Unknown, Chicago comedian Henrik Blix joins Megan and Lauren to discuss The Minotaur's Lover by Lacy Loveday. It's... a wild one you guys.
