The Uh-Oh Feeling

You thought we dipped, didn't you? But we're back! We, like many of you, have abortion rights on the brain, so we tell a couple stories adjacent to that. Emily starts us off with a history of Eugenics in America, and the story Minnie and Mary, two black girls who brought the horrors of forced sterilization to light. Then, Taylor tells the story of Dr. Garson Romalis, an abortion provider who was shot in his own home.  Grab a fish-bowl sized drink and join us. #youonlyyearonce

Taylor and Emily are back and they should have eaten before recording this one, they'll be honest. First, Taylor finally goes *there* and tells the story of a 9/11 survivor, with a big twist. Then, Emily reminds us that our prison system is a joke with the story of the New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot of 1980. Grab a drink and join us! 

Hello again! We've got gentle drinks, and rough stories on this one, folks. Emily starts us off with the story of Kevin Ramsby, who was stabbed in his own home and lived to forgive his attacker. Taylor then brings us some early Uh-Oh vibes with a few survivors of the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, also known as the Yorkshire Ripper. 

Hello, listeners! We're officially back up and running, and so we're so glad to be here! We kick off this next 100 episodes with a random drink generator, and immediate regret. Taylor then tells us the story of the Banqiao Dam failure of 1975. Then Emily takes it home with the story of when two intrepid women met a crocodile, and only one made it out alive. 

In case you can't tell from all the screaming, this is our 100th episode of Uh-Oh! We have our occasional co-host, Kat, along for the ride, as we give each other presents, and gag on some truly terrible alcohol. We do manage to get to a couple of EPIC stories as well. Emily tells the story of Rodney King, whose encounter with police set off a 3-day riot in LA. Then Kat gives us a quick palette cleanser of a story, before Taylor launches into the tale of the Chowchilla kidnapping and their favorite survivor to-date. Enjoy! And thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years. 100, baby! 

Don't worry, no one's on drugs or getting locked in a fridge. We have a special guest, and she is here to tell her story in her own words! That's right, Emily and I are not trading stories for this one. Instead, we are joined by Susan, a woman who has a harrowing tale to tell, and was kind enough to come on this podcast to do it. We were so honored to have her, and we're very excited for you to hear her story. 

We hope everyone has been having a happy and safe holiday season. The next time you see us will be for our 100th Episode Celebration! Much love! 

Happy holidays and a good Monday to you, listeners! Emily closes out her three-part series with story of the Kent State Massacre, the victims, and the 9 students who were shot, but survived. Then Taylor makes Emily scream by finally bringing in the tale of Harrison Okene, a tugboat cook who spent three days trapped in a sunken ship. Yeah, you read that right. 

Emily's story begins: 4:20

Taylor's story begins: 45:45

Hello! You join us on part 2 of Emily's 3-part Survivor series. If you haven't listened to episode 96, it might give you some context to go do that first. 

But! Before we get to that, Taylor keeps it light with the story of Casey Hathaway, a young boy who gets lost in the woods and found under strange (and some say suspicious) circumstances. 

Then Emily hits us right in the feels with the story of 3 incredible survivors of the Cambodian genocide. 

We hope you find this episode, very a-peel-ing! That joke only works if you've already listened. Anyway-- Emily is starts us off with the first installment of a THREE-PARTER! That's right, we've got a little cause-and-effect coming your way. Get excited, but not too excited because it does all kick off with America bombing the hell out of Cambodia. Which, to be clear, sucks. 

Then, Taylor brings you the story of Margaret Gwyer, who has been added to the list of her favorite "people who survive sinking ships in the lease likely way possible."

Audio issue at 57 minutes has been fixed. 

Happy Halloween, listeners! Emily and Taylor are joined by their friend Michelle, who has graciously allowed them to record in her attic, which she's pretty sure is haunted. Taylor tells the story of Brian Massey, the lone survivor of his own stepfather's Halloween rampage. Then, Emily takes us right up to the edge with the tale of Theodor Edward Coneys, the Spider Man of Denver.
