This week, we’re celebrating Cindy’s birthday by discussing murders that took place in the decade of her birth, the 1980s! Listen in and get totally tubular with us as we talk about all the things that made the 80s the 80s, from stranger danger to notorious serial killers and horrifically racist injustice. Featuring an unexpected head in a box, an ambiguous dingo incident, a problematic Preppy, and a sinister socialite. Stay off our list as we go back in time to this radical, neon, and murderous decade!

This week, dear twisted listeners, we're celebrating Cindy's birthday by telling tales of murders and disappearances that happened in the 80's, the decade when this old gal was born!

The murders of the 80's are varied in their scope, but they all share in common a certain national fervor in the way they were reported on and received. The 80's ushered in the age of "Stranger Danger" as well as the far too popular act of putting missing kids' faces on the side of milk cartons. 

It was a wild and wacky time, and it gave us your co-host extraordinaire, Cindy - so we suppose it wasn't all bad! Join us for this terrible trip down memory lane, and Stay Off Our Lists!

We’re back, twisted listeners, and we have a doozy of a topic for you this week! This week we’re talking about women (and girls) who snapped - and with good reason. Although a few may be dubious in the justness of their motives, you’ll find it hard not to sympathize with many of these women who just decided they had ENOUGH of some bullshit. Featuring an iconic amputation, a burning bed, a murder by sugar water, and a problematic San Diego socialite. Listen in and rage along with us!

Hey there Twisted Listeners! This week we're talking about women who 'snapped' before killing - at least, that's how they are portrayed in the media. In all honesty, these are some of the morally murkiest cases we've ever covered, and many have us rethinking the idea of self defense. We have teens to kill their abusers, moms protecting their children, but also a few less murky cases, like a grocery store clerk gone wild! Tune in for all the weird, sad, and crazy stories, and as always: Stay off our Lists!

The second part of this week’s episodes is now posted! This week, we turn to a heavy, difficult, but important topic - the horrifyingly rampant murders of transgender people. From a missing person and a recent, unsolved murder, to the long-since cold murder case of an iconic drag queen and a badass tale of survival, these cases demonstrate the nightmarish and unnecessary gauntlet of danger facing trans people in this country. Join us in telling transphobia to fuck the fuck off!

This week is a very horrible and difficult topic, but one we thought needed to be covered, and hopefully we did it justice. This week we are talking about Transgender people who have been murdered. This topic highlights the abuse and issues trans people face every single day, as well as the ultimate price many pay simply for living as their true selves. We try our best to be allies, and we hope shedding some light on these absolutely terrible cases will help put an end to violence against trans people, because it's simply not okay. Sorry for no fun quips this week, twisted listeners, but this topic is just too dark. We still hope you tune in, and please remember: TRANS LIVES MATTER.

The second of this week’s episodes is now posted! We’re concluding 2021 with one more festive (?) topic - murders that happened at parties! Featuring a pair of killer porn stars, a sinister sleepover, a murderous boat party, and a house party with dead bodies in attendance. These cases range from the heartbreaking to the trashy, and they will all make you want to stay home and party on the couch. Happy New Year’s, twisted listeners, and please stay off our lists by staying away from such frightening festivities!

Despite our current world situation, many people are planning for pretty epic New Year's events this coming weekend, and to celebrate in our own way, we decided to cover people who were murdered while at parties. And wow, this topic is vast, with so many different types of parties to choose from - boat parties, New Year's parties, even meth fueled parties (the worst kind, we think)! But who can really rank how terrible each party is if they all end in murder? We certainly try! Tune in and see how we did!

Happy Holiday, Twisted Listers! To keep things festive, this week we are discussing murders that happened on or around the holidays (or, as with one case, those committed by people who play Santa at the mall). Holidays can bring out the best - and the worst - in people, and none more than the murderers in these horrible, horrible tales. From Boxing Day murders over stolen pigs, to serial killer Santas, and of course, some good old fashioned family annihilators, we've got a little bit of everything this week, so tune in for some horrific holiday murders, and try your best to make it to New Year's by staying off our lists!
