Who’s to blame for the death of President James A. Garfield?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes writer and friend CeCe Pleasants Adams to discuss the bizarre and ultimately tragic circumstances around the assassination attempt, and eventual death shortly thereafter, of The United States 20th President, James Garfield. Did the recently established Secret Service have a cavalier attitude towards security practices? Would politics even exist without radicalization? And we absolutely have to talk about what those doctor’s were doing to poor Garflied while rooting around for that bullet. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early help crack the case.

Who’s to blame for the making of The Room?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Adam Lustick to discuss 2003 box office flop The Room. Written, produced, starring and directed by the one and only Tommy Wiseau, it’s a masterclass in that ever so relatable phrase, “you’re doing it wrong.” Did a lack of pushback lead to this epic cinematic failure? Could divine inspiration by Tennesse Williams and The Talented Mr. Ripley be to blame? Or perhaps this was due to a complete lack of self awareness across the board. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Who’s to blame for the White Ship Disaster?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Sara Wile, Matt Roen & Xen (creators of the Midst Podcast series) to discuss the tragic circumstances around the White Ship Disaster in 1120. Was this a celebrating too soon kind of situation? Could the fact that hardly anyone knew how to swim during this time be part of the problem? Or maybe they were all underestimating the awesome power of The Sea? Fact checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Who’s to blame for the Hinkley, CA Groundwater Contamination?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Tim Rock to the show to discuss the conundrum of the groundwater contamination in Hinkley, CA. Or perhaps more famously known as the Erin Brokevich story. Is America suffering from a missing empathy chip? Is this a classic case of late stage capitalism? Or is there something more clinical going on that allows for these harmful crimes against humanity? Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.

Who’s to blame for the Lost History of Composer Joseph Bologne (AKA Chevalier de Saint-Georges)?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Dr. Jon Higgins (The B.F.F. Podcast, Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices in Media and Learning to Love Yourself) to discuss history’s neglect of 18th century composer (and swordsmen?!) Joseph Bologne, also known as the Chevalier de Saint-George. Why were Bologne’s works ignored for almost 200 years despite him being regarded as the most accomplished man of his age? Was racism to blame? Did his mixed-race background have something to do with it? Or was he just too friendly with Marie Antoinnette and the aristocrats of that time? Producer Amanda Lund and Fact Checker Chris Smith join the conversation.

Who’s to blame for the Bhola Cyclone?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes guest Scotty Landes (Bananas Podcast) to discuss the deadliest cyclone in history. How did the Bhola Cyclone claim the lives of an estimated 500,000 people off the coast of East Pakistan (modern-day Bangladesh)? Were there not enough shelters for people to evacuate to? Did the strained relationship between East and West Pakistan hold back necessary aid? Why does patriarchy once again make it up on the list?

Who’s to blame for the Love Parade Disaster?

What was intended as a free day of music, love and camaraderie ended in panic taking the lives of 21 people and injuring hundreds more.

Who’s to blame for the Alaska Airlines Flight 261 Crash?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) sits down with Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith to discuss the tragic fate of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 on January 31, 2000. Given the valiant efforts by the pilots and flight crew to stabilize the plane and bring it down gently to safety, it seems all the more a cruel fate when it finally unraveled in those crucial final moments, taking the lives of everyone on board. Could a worn out Jack Screw be to blame? Was this simply another maintenance failure? Or was misguided regulation the culprit?
