The Freak Show

In the last episode of Season 1, the hosts leave it all on the line. Lauren reveals that Black Mirror-style shit is already happening in China and Megan tells a story about dolphins no one can ever unhear. Who will win? That's up to you.

If you couldn't guess from the title, this one's a doozy. Megan discusses the controversial topic of transableism, then Lauren tells the story of John List, a man who kills his whole family. But guess what – it's not called the Fun Show Podcast!  

This week, listen along as Lauren enlightens us on The Radium Girls (and makes a terrible drink). Then, it's a roller coaster of emotions when Megan walks us through the rise and fall of an American treasure: Amanda Bynes.

This week, Megan kicks things off with the Denver ghost house slayings and a twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan jealous. Then, Lauren ruins our appetites forever by explaining the delicacy of ortolans and how rich people are...just awful. It's fun for all ages!* 
*Warning: Not actually for all ages.

After a messy start, Lauren takes us through the many theories surrounding Elisa Lam's mysterious death at the Cecil Hotel. Then Megan tries her hardest to ruin yet another fun thing. Does she succeed? Listen and find out. 

Forget the Easter egg hunt this year and try something new! Lauren has all sorts of options for you with freaky Easter traditions from around the world. Then Megan ruins Lauren's day with the madness that was #pizzagate. 

After last week's upsetting episode, Megan... doesn't change at all. Instead she tells us the disturbing details of serial kidnapper Ariel Castro. Cool. Then Lauren brings us out of the darkness with some light psychology from the 1920s. 

Megan wins/ruins the entire podcast by rehashing the unforgettable tale of 2 Girls 1 Cup (spoiler: it's just as bad as you remember). Then, if you're still listening, Lauren lightens the mood with the BTK Killer. We're so sorry.

Like a true best friend, Lauren helps Megan prepare for her upcoming trip to Thailand with a super chill, Buddhist tourist attraction. Then Megan puts all the 80s babies at ease with the truth about quicksand. 

Lauren educates us on how DNA testing is being used to solve cold cases. Then Megan single-handedly ruins 80% of our listeners' commutes by telling us all about people who have been pushed on to CTA train tracks. FUN for the whole family!
