On today’s episode, Valerie covers the intriguing story of philandering sculptor, Henri Marchand, who had a habit of charming young native women into his studio, out of their clothes, and into his bed, claiming “professional necessity”. She recounts the salacious details that came out after the murder of his artist wife Clothilde, including witchcraft, Ouija boards, and mysterious letters from Cleveland, and how the trials did little more than shed light on his narcissism, master manipulation, and coercion to murder? Amy Jo’s Zodiac Back presents all things Pluto, starting with a quick run-down of Pluto facts. Next she tells the story of the search for the elusive Planet X, which made itself known by perturbing other bodies in the night sky. It includes a delightful Kansas connection, resulting in Pluto’s discovery as the 9th planet (Yay!), it’s demotion to a dwarf planet (Boo!), and how it was caused by astronomers defining what a planet even is! She rounds out the ZB with info on the Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini which is happening today!

On today’s episode, we wrap up our Bicentennial year, as Valerie tells the story of the Boston Area Bicentennial Bombings - a tale about a team (or unit if you will) of ex-prisoners with an admirable cause and insanely ambitious, yet not at all well-thought-out plans, who terrorized the Boston area during the nights leading up to the city’s 1976 July 4th celebrations. Their escapades caused some serious damage, but resulted in a Dukes of Hazzard style ending when they ultimately couldn’t save themselves from themselves. Next, Amy Jo treats us to her 1976 Zodiac Back, where she tells the story of the Tehran UFO Incident (Rashomon style!), in which one version of the craft may or may not have been shooting the 1978 electronic game Simon at its targets. Then she shares some “hopeful” advice about UFOs observing humans on earth, she presents information about Mars conjunct Uranus and Algol-the Demon Star of Perseus, aka. the scariest star in the sky, touching on Algol’s place in astrology, and the amazing movie that was “Clash of the Titans”.

Lastly, Amy Jo touches on the origins of the Bigfoot legend, other mysteries of Flintville (is that Crispin Glover looking for his missing arm?), and the FBI investigation and findings regarding Bigfeet.

On today’s episode, Valerie covers the caffeinated and silly story of a mysterious young gentleman with claims of membership in the Most Ancient and Honourable Society of Bucks, who shook up the popular London coffee house scene during the early 19th century. Detailing how his undoing began when he was spotted returning to the scene of a previous crime, which prompted multiple other claims of theft, we learn how the court bent the rules to save his life. Amy Jo’s Zodiac Back presents the intricate details and somewhat mysterious lifecycles of cicadas - how do they know when to “burrow up”? Also brood cycles, cringy cicada poems, and how much the founding fathers dug (burrowed?) astrology; plus Jefferson’s quest to create an American way of calculating longitude, leaving behind the old-school method of “taking the lunars”, and lastly how longitude was key to the Louis and Clark Expedition. Mom always said don’t take your chronometer on your transcontinental journey!

It’s all connected!

On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of prominent Victorian Era Southern gentlemen ensnared in a land dispute that led to murder, including a determined relative’s search for the truth about his brother’s sudden and mysterious disappearance, and the three suspicious letters that provided the clues he needed to make his final allegations against the dastardly suspected killer.

(among many others), including a daring rescue, an involuntary commitment, multiple lawsuits, spiritual-wifery, illegitimate children, and the mad scramble and aftermath of a cult grappling with what to do when their immortal “beloved” did the unthinkable and died.
