- Episode 4: The Twisted Old Man who Lived in the ShoeA few weeks ago a Twitter follower, Maria, asked me about a seriously twisted Philly killer.

- Bonus Mini Ep: Best Little Whorehouse in TwistedPhilly
What happens when you’re up at 3AM, researching future podcast episodes and find the most twisted publication about the city of Brotherly Love? You create a mini episode!

- Episode 1: The Corpse CollectorI’d like to tell you the story of a collector. This isn’t your average collector. Stamps, dolls, beer cans, none of these mundane items appear to him. No, he’s a collector of an entirely different sort. This man collects corpses. In August of 1987, Harrison “Marty” Graham had been living in his North Philadelphia apartment … Continue reading "Episode 1: The Corpse Collector"33 min
