In this episode, we delve into the disturbing histories of two infamous cults: The Ant Hill Kids and The Peoples Temple. We start with Roch Thériault, the self-proclaimed prophet who founded the Ant Hill Kids in Canada. What began as a small commune promising spiritual enlightenment quickly turned into a nightmare of extreme abuse, control, and shocking violence. We break down how Thériault manipulated his followers, the horrifying acts he committed, and the tragic fate of his victims.
Then, we shift focus to Jim Jones and the rise of the Peoples Temple, a movement that began with messages of equality and social justice but spiraled into one of history’s deadliest mass tragedies—the Jonestown massacre. We explore how Jones gained influence, the psychological tactics he used to maintain control, and the events leading up to the tragic mass suicide in 1978 that claimed over 900 lives.

In this episode, the hosts dive into two of the most famous UFO cases in history: the Mount Rainier UFO sighting of 1947 and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961.
The episode begins with the Mount Rainier sighting, where Kenneth Arnold, a private pilot, reported seeing nine crescent-shaped objects moving at an incredible speed near the mountain. His description of their "saucer-like" motion led to the term "flying saucers", sparking a nationwide UFO craze and fueling theories about extraterrestrial visitors. The hosts discuss the impact of Arnold's sighting on UFO culture and government responses, including early investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena.
Next, the episode shifts to the Betty and Barney Hill abduction, one of the most well-documented alien abduction cases. The Hills, a married couple from New Hampshire, claimed to have encountered a UFO while driving home from a trip to Canada. Through hypnosis, they recalled being taken aboard an alien craft, examined by non-human beings, and shown a mysterious star map. The hosts analyze the evidence, including Betty’s description of the Zeta Reticuli star system, and debate whether their experience was a real encounter or a case of sleep deprivation and stress-induced hallucination.
The episode wraps up by exploring the lasting influence of these events on UFO research, pop culture, and government disclosure efforts. Were these cases proof of extraterrestrial visitors, or could they be explained by more earthly means? The hosts leave the listeners with plenty to ponder about the possibility of life beyond our planet.
Tune in for an in-depth look at two of the most intriguing UFO cases in history!

In this episode, we explore two chilling and complex true crime cases: Jennifer Pan, the woman behind a shocking murder-for-hire plot, and Missy Bevers, a fitness instructor whose murder remains an unsettling mystery.
We begin with Jennifer Pan, a seemingly model daughter from a strict Vietnamese-Canadian household. Beneath the surface, however, was a web of deception—fake report cards, a fabricated university career, and a double life. When her strict parents began to catch on, Jennifer orchestrated a plot that would lead to a brutal attack in their home. We break down the psychological and social pressures that may have driven her to such a drastic act, as well as the investigation that unraveled her carefully constructed lies.
Next, we turn to the unsolved murder of Missy Bevers, a Texas fitness instructor who was ambushed and killed inside a church in 2016. Surveillance footage captured a mysterious suspect dressed in SWAT gear roaming the halls, but despite years of investigation, the case remains open. We discuss the eerie details, the strange leads—including unusual messages and potential financial motives—and the theories that continue to haunt true crime enthusiasts.
Through these cases, we examine the themes of family pressure, deception, and the mysteries that still linger, uncovering the unsettling realities behind two crimes that shocked the world.

In this episode, we unravel the stories of Tituba, the enslaved woman whose coerced confession helped ignite the Salem Witch Trials, and Morgan le Fay, the legendary enchantress of Arthurian myth. Though separated by time and culture, both women have been shrouded in mystery, magic, and historical distortion.
Was Tituba truly a witch, or was she a scapegoat caught in a web of colonial fear and hysteria? Was Morgan le Fay a sinister sorceress, or was she a misunderstood figure whose power threatened the medieval patriarchy? We explore their origins, how their legacies were shaped by storytelling, and what their stories reveal about the way history remembers women who wield influence and mystique.
Join us as we uncover the truth, the myths, and the magic behind these two fascinating figures.

In this special Valentine’s Day episode, we explore both the romantic and the notorious sides of February 14th. First, we dive into the origins of Valentine’s Day, tracing its roots from ancient Roman festivals to the modern celebration of love, chocolates, and flowers. We discuss how St. Valentine became associated with romance and how the holiday evolved over time.
Then, we shift gears to a much darker chapter in Valentine’s history—the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929. We break down the bloody gangland execution orchestrated by Al Capone’s men against rival George "Bugs" Moran’s gang in Chicago. We analyze the crime’s impact on the Prohibition-era mob wars and how it cemented Capone’s ruthless reputation.
Blending history, crime, and culture, this episode unpacks the dual nature of Valentine’s Day—both as a symbol of love and a reminder of one of organized crime’s most infamous events.
