Our original ghost host Brittany is back as a guest this week with film bro Emma to hear Shannon tell the sad but gripping story of the death of Marilyn Monroe. Was she murdered by a prank-calling president's family? Was her death a cover up to protect political secrets? Aliens? Bust out your bingo cards and your belty-est musical ballads as we discuss the possibilities on our usual rollercoaster of chaos.

Spooky season has arrived! At least here at TPDE it has. Emma fills us in this week on the most haunted place in the most haunted city in America: the Moon River Brewing Company. A once bustling hotel turned hospital turned brewery, this spot has seen a lot of death, but do the dead still linger? Come find out if the Pope’s gonna love ya with all the holy water you’ll be carting around this place and if Zac Bagans’ voice is a bit.

It’s Holland’s last visit to the Pod Nook™ and we’re going out with…a blob? This week Shannon shocks us with the story of the Oakville Blobs, mysterious jelly that rained from the sky in Washington State. Was it manmade? Extraterrestrial vomity goo? Or jellyfish that had been yeeted from the sea? If nothing else it was a perfect storm, a Blob-ageddon if you will. So join us for the Blob-ening.

We’re back with our resident death ambassador, Holland, this week to discuss the odd, messy, and overall just wild case of William H. Bates. First he disappears, then he reappears, then he takes a left turn with his career in "eyes." Buckle in as we jump around from North Dakota to TikTok diet influencers to truck nuts on a Saturn, because it’s weird and we’d like to talk about it.

A cryptid that Emma has met?! Okay, well not met, but maybe taken a picture of a replica of one? Yea, that sounds about right. This week, Emma digs into the story of the Beast of Bray Road, one of Wisconsin’s premier cryptids. Is it a werewolf? A hellhound? An all new creature? Whatever the case is, get out of my bucket and into our car for a quick little chaotic tour of Wisconsin.

*Content Warning: some conversation on suicide* This week Shannon brings us to Arizona and tells the story of Daniel Robinson and his mysterious disappearance. A crashed car, a cryptic text message, and still no answers after multiple searches. For the missing and murdered who don’t fit the media’s mold, it can take ages to get things moving, let alone get one solved, and Daniel’s case is no exception. Tune in to hear our theories and a ghosty mailbag story!

It's vacay time, and what better way to relax than a Greg episode! Enjoy the chaos, friends!

*Note that today’s episode, and probably those in the future, contains swearing and adult themes. Keep the little ears away!* 

The chaos today is brought to you by peanut butter whiskey and a brand new cryptid, our wonderful friend Greg! Shannon tells us as much as she can about the Werewolf of Dickson County, who still might be hunting in the woods of Tennessee to this day. Tune in for wild stories, French in a southern accent, and lots of healthy cackling. And potentially a boyfriend?! Stay tuned at the end for all the fun stuff Emma cut from the middle.

*NSFW* Some very not-family-friendly jokes are hot and ready this week as Emma fills us in on the haunted Pfister Hotel. Are Major League Baseball players being targeted by the ghosts who want their home team to succeed? Or is this simply another historic building with some quirks? Come find out and join in our apologies to long dead gentlemen.
