  • You're On The Air | The Art Bell Area 51 Call

    Art Bell was no stranger to high strangeness, hosting the late-night radio show, Coast to Coast am.  But one night in the late 90's, a caller called in, and what transpired may be the most infamous call of the long running show's history.  A caller claimed to have been a former employee of Area 51, and frantically warned of impending disasters to come.  Before the call could be completed, the power to the station was cut, and Coast to Coast am temporarily went off the air.

    Was the caller legitimate? Did sinister government forces cut the power mid broadcast? Find out today on this fan suggested episode of Weirdwide!

  • Discount Hitman | The Murder of Cory Voss

    A cheating wife who can't let go of the party girl scene.  A whanna-be filmmaker who wanted the world to think he was better than he actually was.  A guy who thought being a killer for hire was an easy money gig.  What do these three have in common? They conspired to murder a man thought by many to be the ideal husband and father.

    Cory Voss was a rising star in the US Navy when his life was cut tragically short the night his wife set him up to be murdered for the insurance money.  

    JD is joined by The Ghost, who actually knew the murderers when they decided to cash in Cory's life for a paycheck.
