The infamous 1955 murder of Emmett Till rocked the Mississippi Delta region, and was a strong catalyst for the later phases of the Civil Rights movement. Importantly, his brutal murder brought renewed spotlight to the history of violent persecution of African Americans.

We have more fun cryptid surprises in store for you this week with a short yet sweet episode! Today we talk about the bipedal, wand-waving, small-town local legend by the name of the Loveland Frog!

Imagine you are playing outside an elementary school, when suddenly a bright light flashes across the sky and crashes into a nearby hillside. When you go to investigate, you discover something terrifying... something otherworldly.

First we puff, puff, pass while providing a basic education on legal and illegal hemp qualities and strains, talk about the crackdown on drug operations with CAMP, "Campaign Against Marijuana Planting", and then we get right into the star of the show: the supposed murder of 3 trimmigrants by our boy Sassie.

In part 2 of our series, we start by getting a lesson on biomechanics and species divergence: two things which help us understand how ol' Sassie could potentially be a real, living being. We then take a massive detour and talk about the history and criminality of marijuana, the back to the land movement of Northern California, and how the conditions of the area make it perfect for high quality cannabis cultivation.

Does Bigfoot really exist? Is it a protector figure, or is he a ferocious beast capable of violence... even murder? In order to understand Bigfoot's link to the world's superhighway of the finest quality ganja, we first have to understand the misunderstood beast itself.

We jump right into the investigation into the murders, and Lawrence is quickly identified as a number one suspect, and the search of his home yields many discoveries... some hilarious and some disturbing.

In this listener request series, we shed light on a little known yet brutal series of murders which occurred in the small town of Milton, Florida in 1998... one that our own Becky actually grew up in!

Just imagine for a second that you are an innocent beaver... hiding away in your dark, wet habitat... when all of a sudden, you are exposed to a beast with a voracious appetite... one that loves to eat beaver. Now get your mind out of the gutter! We are referring to the giant sloth-like cryptid: The Yukon Beaver Eater! If we stop laughing long enough, we may even talk about its history, sightings, and some science. Come join us for some much needed mind bleach!

As a member of the WVHA, Rudy had unfettered access to everything involved in the concentration camp system, and it was his expertise that led him to spearhead Operation Hoess: The mass deportation and execution of Hungarian Jews. During this time, however, the Allies have successfully invaded Europe and the time of the Third Reich is nearing its inevitable end. We then touch upon the aftermath, the Nuremberg Trials, and the poetic justice which befalls Rudy as he is executed on the very grounds of Auschwitz he helped create.

With the Final Solution well underway, we first start by discussing the role of Sonderkommandos: Jewish prisoners who were responsible for the "dirty" work involved in the mass killings, and the horrors they had to perform and endure. During the miserable expansion of Auschwitz, we also take a detour into Rudy and his wife Hedwig's personal life, his scandalous "affair" with a prisoner servant, and Rudy's eventual promotion to the WVHA.

The life of a concentration camp prisoner is something most people could never truly fathom. In part 3 of this series, we discuss a small part of what that was like; we touch upon the role of music, the conditions the prisoners and guards deal with, the advent of Zyklon B, and Hoess’ transition of Auschwitz into a death camp to answer the question to the Final Solution.

We pick up Rudolph Hoess' story from his beginnings at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, to his promotion to commandant, to the chaotic construction of the "zone of interest" which would grow into the most infamous concentration camp of all time under his leadership.

We are beginning perhaps the darkest series we have ever produced: the rise of Rudolph Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz, and the countless atrocities performed under his ever watchful gaze.

She was an enigmatic, alluring dancer and seductress who turned into one of the most unlikely and infamous spies of all time; of course, we are talking about the international woman of mystery herself... Mata Hari!

We are taking a more somber turn this week as we discuss the tragedy and legacy of Kyle Plush: a 16-year old boy who suffered an avoidable death when Cincinnati police and 911 call center workers failed to rescue him.

Just like some select vault dwellers from the Fallout universe, we have Fritzl's underground family finally coming to the surface and seeing the light of day; with the help of Dr. Reiter, the enormous task of healthcare and integration into society began.

As Josef Fritzl enters into his not-so-sexy sixties, we see him start providing his incestuous family with additional room and amenities, but this does not mask the horrifying health conditions that slowly accrue over time.

When we last left the incestuous Josef Fritzl, his now 18-year old little Liesl was re-captured, and it is here that the horrors truly begin.

He was a Nazi sympathizer, a genius engineer, had a penchant for indecent exposure, and was also responsible for the incestuous imprisonment of his own daughter Elisabeth for 24 years.
