We're back with an oddly compatible pair of freaky stories. 

First up, Lauren tells the story of Brigitte Gerney, aka the Crane Lady, and her very harrowing walk home from the dentist.

Then Megan ups the stakes with the tragic story of Kyle Plush trying to get his tennis gear out of his minivan.

TO: The Freaks
FROM: The Freak Show

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Lauren tells us a second chance love story that's not... quite as romantic as you might hope.

Then Megan spoils the plot of the new, sad Marvel installment: The Alaskan Avenger. JK this is a real story that is honestly just very awful.

Pairs well with waxy chocolates and heavy pours of red wine. 

We're back, freaks! 

After an unplanned (but very much needed) break, Megan and Lauren are back and arbitrarily calling this Season 5. 

First up, Lauren sheds light on some pretty messed up ways to shed pounds with the worst fad diets in history. Then Megan tells the story of Axton Betz-Hamilton and her family's awful identify theft saga.

Feels good to be back getting freaky every week. If you've got a topic you want us to cover, send it to [email protected]. 

Happy Halloween Week, freaks! 

To celebrate this most spooky time of year, Lauren kicks things off with truly awful details of maybe the scariest haunted house ever - Blackout. 0/10 would not recommend.

Then Megan takes us through a good ol' fashioned Halloween murder from the 1950s. 

Treat yourself to some candy, tag us in your costume pics and as always, send topic suggestions to [email protected].

It's spooky season, freaks, and we're getting into it! 

First up, Lauren goes back into the world of poltergeists with the haunting of Alma Fielding and her ghost hunter pal Nandor. 

 Then Megan takes her hatred of road rage to greater heights with AIR RAGE (ha). It's been getting a lot of press these days, but turns out, it's been around for about as long as air travel has existed.

Stay freaky, tag us in your spooky pics, and send topic suggestions to [email protected].

In this episode, Lauren confirms two things we already knew about her: she's no bartender and dang does she not know anything about money! 

But she tries her best to untangle the web of lies that Sam Israel III told in an epic Ponzi Scheme gone wrong. 

Then Megan, in a classic Megan topic, tells us about Foreign Accent Syndrome, something that is probably real but sounds totally fake. 

Enjoy, keep those masks on, and send topics to [email protected].

What? A new episode of The Freak Show? 

Megan and Lauren are back yet again - so sorry for the sporadic nature of Season 4, but we're doing our best - with two freaky topics that could not be more different.

First up, Megan continues her newfound interest in deadly balls of gas with the story of Ludger Sylbaris, one of the only survivors of a horrific volcanic eruption.

Then Lauren gets into all the juicy deets of a love triangle gone about as wrong as it could. 

As always, let us know what freaks you out at [email protected].

Uh oh, freaks... we got an accidental cannibal episode for you this week!

First up, consensual cannibalism: Megan tells us the story of Mao Sugiyama fulfilling his dream of watching someone eat his severed penis. Bone appetit, am I right? 

Next, the ... other kind: Lauren introduces us to Dmitry and Natalia, aka the Russian Cannibal Couple, who really enjoyed documenting their various crimes/meals.

Enjoy? Maybe? 

And send us topics, cannibal-style or otherwise, to [email protected].  

We're back! And like the very professional podcasters we are, we may or may not be back next week. But it's summer! We're busy! Get over it! 

This week, Megan chronicles the hundreds of very dumb selfie-related fatalities, also known as (sorry) killfies. 

Then Lauren ruins the plot of Elizabeth Banks' newest movie Cocaine Bear. Don't worry, they just started filming so you'll forget all about it by the time it hits theaters.

As always, email us with topic suggestions at [email protected]. 

Later, freaks! 

A surprise Thursday pod! 

We're a couple days late, but just in time for the long holiday weekend. So... sorry / you're welcome? 

Today, Lauren dips a toe into the pool of shit that gets her all fired up: racist white people! It's the classic, but little known tale of the 1974 Kanawha County Textbook Controversy. 

Then Megan tells us all about Ming, the tiger of Harlem, who really just wanted to be left with his dolls. 

Happy 4th of July, celebrate "responsibly" and email us your dang topics! [email protected]
