Ingrid Dutton and Jessica Maerz are two sisters who love telling and listening to stories. Join them as they retell their stories, historical stories, and listener stories in a straightforward and interactive way. Their goal is to use these situations not only to educate, but also to provide a platform for others to share their struggles and/or accomplishments. Stories range from humor to drama to tragedy to survival. A Point5Pinoy production.
From a Roomba disaster to a chewed-up pair of headphones, our “no-plan” Halloween episode spirals into pure chaos—in the best way. We kick things off with procrastination quotes, dive into a candy confessional (Reese’s reigns supreme), and battle over the great Tootsie Roll divide. Then it’s rapid-fire trivia: Samhain’s Celtic roots, why turnips came before pumpkins, and the truth about black cats and trick-or-treating.
We chase scares through pop culture—from Thriller to The Strangers—and debunk the poisoned-candy myth. The real chills come with a true story about losing sight of a child on Halloween night and what it reminds us about love and fear.
Hit play for laughs, lore, and horror talk that lingers long after spooky season fades.

Two sisters time-travel through 1977 using a playful “family journal,” tracing Roots, Star Wars, the NYC blackout, and the Apple II, while weaving in jokes, side tangents, and a tender “late entry” birth story. We close on why personal stories make history stick and a groovy sign-off that invites listeners to share their own.
• Roots as national reckoning on TV
• Super Bowl XI and Carter’s inauguration
• Blizzard of ’77 and community strain
• Queen’s anthems, disco style, punk rise
• Apple II puts computing in the home
• Star Wars as cultural movement and myth
• Pipeline launch and NYC blackout tensions
• Loss of icons: Elvis, Crosby, Chaplin
• The Wow! signal and cosmic wonder
• Atari 2600 and interactive culture at home
• Disco peak with Saturday Night Fever
• Takeaway: history felt through lived moments

We rewind to 1979 and trace the wild mix of culture, politics, and technology that shaped how we live now, from Walkman freedom and disco backlash to international crises, feminist art, and hard lessons in safety and law. We keep it candid, curious, and a little chaotic, because the year was too.
• TV nostalgia and the CB radio boom
• Early school shooting and the Monday quote
• Ayatollah’s return and the Iran hostage crisis
• Punk mythology, Sid Vicious, and costs of image
• Tracking Nazis and Mengele’s hidden death
• Women reporters and MLB locker room access
• Brothers’ no-hitters and sports lore
• Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party and feminist art
• Three Mile Island and Carter’s technical leadership
• “May the Fourth,” Thatcher, and political language
• Milk-carton kids, Etan Patz, and national response
• Juneteenth in Texas and John Wayne’s legacy
• The Walkman’s launch and mixtape culture
• Disco Demolition Night and coded backlash
• Greensboro Klan violence and failed justice

Jessica explores the pivotal year 1217 in English history, when a nine-year-old king and his 70-year-old regent knight faced rebellious barons and French invasion. This turning point year shaped England's language, governance, and future through two decisive battles that preserved the nation's independence.
• King John signed but then reneged on the Magna Carta, angering barons who invited French Prince Louis to take the throne
• When King John died, his nine-year-old son Henry III became king with William Marshall as his regent
• The Battle of Lincoln in May 1217 marked a turning point in the First Barons' War
• The Battle of Sandwich (Dover) in August saw English ships capture 65 of 80 French vessels without losing any of their own
• Following these victories, English was reinstated as the official language of England
• William Marshall is considered one of the greatest knights in history by many historians

The Blackwell sisters, Elizabeth and Emily, forced open the doors of American medicine for women in the 1800s, transforming the profession despite facing systematic rejection from medical establishments.
• Elizabeth Blackwell, born 1821 to abolitionist parents, became the first female doctor in America despite initially finding medicine "disgusting"
• Rejected by 29 medical schools before Geneva Medical College accepted her—only because male students thought it was a joke
• Graduated top of her class in 1849, later losing an eye to infection while training in Paris
• Emily Blackwell followed her sister into medicine, becoming the third female physician in America despite facing even greater resistance
• Together they founded the New York Infirmary for Women and Children in 1857 and later a women's medical college
• Elizabeth held surprisingly conservative views—opposing women's voting rights and contraception
• Neither sister married, but both adopted daughters
• By their deaths in 1910, women made up 6% of physicians; today they represent over half of medical students

Have you ever heard of the Dionne quintuplets? In this riveting comeback episode, Jessica uncovers the shocking story of the world's first surviving quintuplets, born in rural Canada in 1934. What began as a medical miracle quickly transformed into one of history's most disturbing examples of child exploitation.
These five identical girls—Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Emily, and Marie—were removed from their parents and placed under government guardianship, where they became Canada's biggest tourist attraction. Behind one-way screens in a compound dubbed "Quintland," they were displayed to 3,000 visitors daily like animals in a zoo. Their images sold everything from corn syrup to toothpaste, generating millions while they lived behind barbed wire fences.
Jessica traces their journey from public exhibition to family reunification at age nine, where sadly, they faced new traumas in "the saddest home they ever knew." Yet through it all, the sisters maintained an unbreakable bond. Today, the two surviving sisters still live together at age 91, embodying the episode's opening quote: "Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other."
This extraordinary tale raises profound questions about child welfare, governmental authority, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. What happens when children become commodities? How do siblings survive unimaginable circumstances together? And what responsibility do we have to protect those who cannot protect themselves? Join us as we explore these questions through the remarkable story of five little girls who captured the world's attention but paid a devastating price.
Ingrid completely misspoke (surprised?). Cecile passed away at the age of 91, not 92.
What childhood stories of exploitation have you heard that still haunt you today? Share your thoughts and be sure to subscribe as we return with new sister stories every other week!

Jamie is a 35 year old wife, mother, and teacher. She was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) at the age of 16. She has a rapidly progressive form of the disease and is already having to face the idea of dialysis. Dialysis is a treatment option for those with end stage kidney failure.

Please listen to Jamie’s journey through her disease process and the steps she is now taking in order to find a kidney donor. Hear from those who work in the transplant field discuss the process of transplant and donation while dispelling any myths and misconceptions.
