Wednesday Jul 27, 2022
After the previous doozy of an episode, it's time for something a little more simple: one of those wholesome stories of boy meets girl, boy marries girl, and boy murders girl. David Stewart was convicted of his wife Debbie's 1984 murder in Decatur, AL. From expensive home remodeling projects to questionably installed fish ponds, we look at how financial woes may have led to the birth of a murderer... or perhaps, how the devil was already in him at the start. Roll tide.

Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Everybody has heard of the Bermuda Triangle.. but have you ever heard of its obtuse cousin? This vast region between Anchorage, Juneau, and Barrow (now called Utqiagvik) is known for missing airplanes and up to tens of thousands of disappearances. The only things more wild than the incredible amount of vanishings are the theories which attempt to explain them. Don your tinfoil hats, because we discuss theories of murder, aliens, energy vortexes, cryptids, and of course the unforgiving wilderness itself. Journey with us to this mysterious location within The Last Frontier!

What could possibly be more American than our prison system? It's time to receive a history lesson on the world's very first penitentiary, where the goal was for prisoners to receive their penance (spoiler alert: hence the name!). From escapes to famous residents, from dubious practices to paranormal soup, we explore how this now preserved ruin came to be, and why it is considered one of the most haunted buildings in America.
As an added bonus, featured throughout this episode are select audio recordings taken during Jenn and Jimmy's twilight tour of Eastern State Penitentiary in May 2022! Do they contain sounds of the living... or artifacts of the dead? Tune in to judge it for yourself!
