The Pandemonium team is back to finish their tale of Jeffrey Dahmer - this time we’re talking about his final victims, long-pig jelly and MORE cannibalism, Polaroid cameras, and dismemberment.

Today’s episode drops us back into the murderous mind of Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as The Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster.

Listen along with Em, Cat, and Rachel as we continue to learn about death, male prostitutes, and the shocking tales of the Cannibalistic murderer known as Jeffrey Dahmer (the people nommer).

The Pandemonium crew is back - and things are getting even more chaotic.

In this wildly unhinged episode, Cat and Rachel dive into the neon-lit chaos of Times Square, the drama of piano bars, mysterious bite marks, and grisly dismemberments - all while grappling with a fair amount of personal sexual confusion.

The Pandemonium team is back - and this episode is more twisted than a Nascar rally. We're talking dying family members left and right, discombobulated delusions, and a nurse with the worst bedside manner in medical history: leaving a total of 31 corpses in total in her wake.

Join Cat and Rachel as they unravel the disturbing story of Honora Kelley - better known as Jolly Jane Toppan, the so-called “Angel of Mercy” with a body count of at least 31. From her days charming patients straight to the grave to surviving an asylum and slipping deeper into madness, Jane’s tale is one of manipulation, murder, and mayhem in 1800s America.

One part history, one part horror: this is nursing school from hell.

The Pandemonium team is back with one of our most harrowing - and unhinged - episodes to date, packed with gasps, internet sleuthing, Munchausen vibes, and a level of disbelief and fury we’ve never reached before.

This week, Cat, Rachel, Em, and special guest Sylvia head into the cold, clinical corridors of a British hospital to uncover the disturbing case of Lucy Letby - the neonatal nurse who betrayed her position of care to become judge, jury, and executioner to the most vulnerable: premature infants.

It’s a tale of trust broken, red flags ignored, and a community shaken to its core.

This one is chilling, infuriating, and absolutely unforgettable

The Pandemonium team is back with another wildly unhinged episode - this time packed with castles, secret wives, insurance fraud, and science experiments gone very wrong.

As always… there’s a whole lotta MERDER.

Join Cat, Rachel, and Em as they descend into the twisted world of Herman Webster Mudgett - better known as Dr. H.H. Holmes. From the shadowy halls of his infamous Murder Castle to the glitz and spectacle of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, this episode is a maze of greed, deception, and deadly ambition.

Scandal, secrets, and a literal house of horrors - step right up.

The Devil is in the (architectural) details.

The Pandemonium team is back with an unhinged international tour of terror - complete with murder, moral gray zones, and more shocked gasps than your average true crime binge.

Join hosts Cat and Rachel as they uncover the chilling tales of two women whose crimes shocked the world: Miyuki Ishikawa, the “Demon Midwife” of 1940s Japan, and Christine Malèvre, France’s so-called “Madonna of Euthanasia.” From the shadows of Tokyo to the ICU rooms of Paris, this episode dives deep into the darkest corners of so-called mercy, manipulation, and murder.

Buckle up - this one’s not for the faint of heart.

The Pandemonium crew returns with another delightfully unhinged episode - this time steeped in ghostly whispers, bed & breakfast creeps, and the kind of mountain weather that can only be described as menopausal.

Join Cat, Rachel, and Meg as they wade into the eerie history of the Battle of Ball’s Bluff, meet the mysteriously mournful Col. Erasmus Burt, and explore the haunted halls of the Glenfiddich House.

Confederate ghosts, Civil War chills, and B&Bs you definitely don’t want to book - it’s mystery, history, and mayhem wrapped in one haunted Virginia package.
