Like with every great best man’s speech, Randa kicks us off with a Merriam-Webster definition of urban legends. We then go on to answer all your burning questions, whether relevant or not.
Do you remember Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? What phases did you go through in your teenage years? What is a Berlusconi Bob?
We round up with being judgey against people who don’t lock their car doors while driving and wondering why so many messages were scribbled on walls in the 90s.

Can psychics help solve cases? What do we think about the US justice system and the death penalty (clue: we are so left-wing we are about to fall off the end)? Why were Miss Marple and Jessica Fletcher never suspected of murder, even though they were always just there when they happened? Can little old ladies be serial killers? And how was a psychic involved in Ian Huntley’s murder of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells?
Join us as we take a look at some cases where psychics have known things about investigations that they can’t possibly have known. Did it help catch the criminals?

What would your vampire money management and investment strategy be? And what are the three shells for? With guest host Siri as Google takes some much-deserved annual leave.

Michelle tells us where the fear of this day comes from and gives us some freaky Friday facts (freaky facts about Friday, not facts about the film Freaky Friday). Surprise, surprise! Much of the fear of Friday 13th has its origins in Christianity.
So let’s flip the script and look at what is special about this day and how to celebrate it!

If, like Randa and I, you were a goth in the 90s, then Anton Lavey played a role in your life. Love him or hate him, you knew about him. Was he evil? Was he a compulsive liar? Was he a trendsetter? Did he make it acceptable to be weird? What would his Instagram look like if he was alive today? Is the Church of Satan really that bad? And who are its celebrity members?
This episode goes out to Mrs Maguire, the Queen of Goth Culture and one of those teachers who made us who we are today!

Did you know there is a name for when people actively seek out incarcerated romantic partners? Yup, and it is hybristophilia. Randa and I discuss what such couples break up over. I mean, what is the last straw when you already know your partner is a murderer? How far would you go for your partner? Would you kill for them? Is it ever a good idea to write to a stranger in prison? How good is Natural Born Killers as a film!? Who do you admire that you know you probably shouldn’t? And what is folie à deux? And finally, does anyone fancy Ned Flanders?

We welcome back OG We Knew The Mooner Tracey spiritual shop to talk about food and spirituality. Why is Tracey always nervous before coming onto the show? Is our body our temple? Or is it a ceremonial bonfire!
What do different religions and spiritual practices say about your diet and the link to spirituality? Is what you crave trying to tell you something about your spiritual state of mind? And will you genuinely be happier if you cut out carbs or lose that extra 5 lbs?
