The Freak Show

We're talking 1960s politics and cults on this week's Freak Show. Dive into the messed up world of the Kennedy's and the much more messed up world of David Berg. 

The Freak Show's first Halloween episode is spooky as hell. We've got murders, we've got poison, we've got a cup full of scotch. Snuggle in and buckle up.

WARNING: If you are easily nauseous, a man, or our mothers, you might want to skip this one. WE MEAN IT.
This week is one of the worst. Listen and Megan tells all about the Brazilian Wandering Spider and the nauseating way to treat a bite if you're in the Amazon. Then, Lauren lightens things up with some pedophilia as she talks about Mary Kay Letourneau's relationship with her 13 year-old student. Don't say we didn't warn you...

This one, you guys, is seriously a rollercoaster of an episode. First, Lauren uncovers the messed up world of NFL Cheerleading. Then Megan ruins Disney World for everyone! 

A very dramatic title for a very delightful episode. We'll be learning all about rich people problems, then we'll try to figure out what's wrong with all these sperm donor doctors. Fun! 

Today Megan's topic has all the twists and turns and unwanted sexual advances of an Old Hollywood classic. And Lauren's topic is just straight up Old Hollywood. Enjoy! 

In this episode, Lauren and Megan are either describing the plots of two wildly successful movies, or they're telling you two very real stories. Which is it? There's only one way to find out. 

It's a bad sign when the title of the episode is just two ladies' names... In a dark coincidence, Megan and Lauren both bring horrifying stories with eerie overlap. Feels like this needs to be said - we're sorry. 

Put your smarty pants on, freaks, we're getting science-y today. First, Megan blows our minds with the medical mystery of Gloria Ramirez. Then Lauren does her best to explain the good – and the scary – sides of CRISPR. 

In a real rollercoaster of an episode, Lauren bums us all out with a history lesson from the Jim Crow era, but have no fear! Megan turns it right around with a real sticky situation in old timey Boston.
