AND WE’RE BACK! I'll Tell You What... It's been a REALLY long time since we posted an episode! We are so sorry that our lives have been kinda crazy lately & we haven't been able to post in a while. With that in mind we would like you let you all know that posting will probably stay a bit inconsistent for the time being, both Aislinn & Miranda have full-time jobs & lots of other obligations on the side. The podcast is a priority to us, but we be tired folks. We are super excited to get back to it! In this episode, Aislinn talks about the Titanic and the details around its demise. Did the Unsinkable Ship actually hit that iceberg accidentally? Or could it have been insurance fraud gone horribly wrong? Join us as we take a deep dive into one of history’s most tragic events.

WE MADE IT! Well... Kinda. We originally wanted to end our Second Season after 100 episodes, but as it hit the holiday season we thought it be best to take a short break now, and come back fresh faced in the new year. Thank you to all of our listeners who deal with our sometimes less than strict posting schedule. Just know we really appreciate you, and we are trying to become more consistent but with full-time jobs, family, and other responsibilities hanging over our heads sometimes it makes it hard to post on time.
Without further ado, in this episode we will be discussing the infamous unsolved Murder of The Black Dahlia. Crime in the 1940's was rampant, especially because we didn't have a way to test DNA evidence at the time, so there are more than a few murders from the era that were never solved. The Black Dahlia - or the Murder of Elizabeth Short - was no exception to this. The gruesome details of her case have peaked many a true crime junkie's attention. That is why for our Season 2 Finale we are discussing her case today. Enjoy!

It’s the spoopy season, so Aislinn and Miranda have another horror movie curse for you! It’s rumored that Steven Spielberg’s 1982 classic Poltergeist is the most cursed movie ever made.

In this episode, Aislinn talks about not only the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, but those in power that enabled him. Going through the timeline of the police investigation into victims' claims, some disturbing revelations about those meant to carry out the law unfold. Did US District Attorney Alex Acosta enter into a conspiracy to give Epstein the deal of a lifetime?
Even with such a powerful man's help, however, those fighting for the survivors would not rest. When Acosta's plea deal got overturned and Epstein was forced to stand trial once more, however, the disgusting man was found dead in his jail cell before it even began. Was this his way of escaping punishment for his heinous acts? Or did one of his former friends want to keep him quiet?
There's a lot to unpack here, and the best way to do it is by sharing the truths of those who matter most in the case: the survivors.

Thomas Ince had a heavy hand in how the movie industry was shaped back in the early 1910s. Despite the notoriety he garnered during his life, however, it is perhaps his death that he is most widely known for. Officially the records state that he died of heart failure, but is that all there is to the case? What of the rumors that he was shot onboard the yacht of his close friend, media mogul William Hearst? Why did so many people keep quiet about that night? Did he truly catch a stray bullet meant for Charlie Chaplin? Over a century later, and we're still wondering what truly happened to Thomas Ince.

Aislinn finally decides to tackle another COVID conspiracy. Originally, this episode was going to come out two weeks ago. Since then, cases have risen again and there's a resurgence of mask mandates. Sadly, this means it's only more topical.
Join us as Aislinn and Mirada take on the topic of the COVID vaccine conspiracy as laid out by Dr. Christiane Northrup. Is there any truth to it? How does an mRNA vaccine work anyway? Could we all become human/animal hybrids?!
There's a lot to unpack here, so strap in! Miranda even learns some science, which she will promptly forget before the next episode.

The Savoy Hotel located in Kansas City is one of the oldest continuously operational hotels in the united states. The Hotel & it's Restaurant Grill are both home to multiple specters of sorts. Haunted activity ranges from hearing whispers in a otherwise vacant elevator, to full on apparitions of a little Victorian girl. The Savoy Hotel is certainly one of the most haunted places in Kansas City.

Aislinn is back at it with the scoop on what the military was up to during the Cold War. Join Miranda as she grows increasingly uncomfortable and proves exactly how much she remembers from AP US History (here's a hint: not much). If you've ever been curious about herbicides and/or the Vietnam War, this episode is for you!
Agent Orange was supposed to help get rid of coverage for guerrilla fighters during the Vietnam War, but the truth of what happened is far worse. It wasn't until soldiers returned home that they realized what they had done, or how much it would affect their lives. Add into that how the US has been handling the cleanup of this mess (or lack thereof), and it's easy to see what made this episode of American History all the more unsettling.

There's a conspiratorial twist on an old playground legend. Is the cryonically frozen body (or head) of Walt Disney really being kept underneath Disneyland? Where did this rumor even start? And how do modern Disney movies fit into it all?
Aislinn and Miranda are back at it again as Aislinn thinly veils an attempt at incorporating her film degree into the podcast. If you're into learning about Disney history, getting a healthy dose of morbidity, or being pulled into spontaneous film critiques, then this is an episode you don't want to miss. Or if you just want to hear some reasons to not freeze your head when you die, that's somewhere in here, too.

The long awaited second part in our Scientology coverage is here! Join us as we go in-depth with Scientology. Here Aislinn tells Miranda about the religions practices, organizations, and controversies. Why are so many celebrities part of it? How did it become so secretive? And what the heck is an E-meter? The episode may be a bit late, but it is well worth the listen.
There's too many sources to link here. Instead, here's Aislinn's Google Doc of notes:

Here we have another topic that was too big for one episode! Aislinn wants to tell Miranda about Scientology, but she first has to talk about its founder: L. Ron Hubbard.
Why did a pulp fiction writer manage to create a new religion? What qualified him to pioneer a new realm of psychology? And how much science is really in Scientology?
Featuring: the blending of sci-fi and reality, bizarre naval misadventures, temporary bigamy, and even a message from Aleister Crowley himself
And we haven't even gotten to the cult* stuff yet.
*Scientology.org is pretty adamant that they are not a cult. We'll let you decide for yourself.

"“All of the birds died in 1986 due to Reagan killing them and replacing them with spies that are now watching us. The birds work for the bourgeoisie.”
In this episode, Aislinn forces Miranda to endure more Cold War history as they delve into The Great Bird Conspiracy. What is this odd conspiracy? Who started it? Why has it spread? And perhaps most importantly: How does Waffle House factor into all of this?
Maybe we should all be a bit more wary of those eyes in the sky.

Romans and Revelations and Locusts, oh my! Well, Miranda is properly horrified at any rate. Aislinn revisits Nero Caesar and his potential connection to the book of Revelation, written long after his time. Was the Beast of the Sea that John wrote about modeled after the notorious Roman Emperor? Or could the similarities between the man and the prophecy be just a coincidence?

The HAARP research facility in Alaska has performed some of the most informative research we have regarding the Earth's ionosphere. Of course, with innovation comes conspiracy theories. Did the US military construct it to try and weaponize our atmosphere? Have they found a way to control our weather? Or are they seeking to flip the Earth's magnetic poles?
Aislinn brings the science, so you don't have to worry if you're not entirely sure what the ionosphere is. Miranda, as always, brings the sarcastic comments, so you'll also have a lot of laughs.
It's an extra informative (and fascinating!) episode as we look into the incredible feats of the HAARP.

In this episode, Aislinn regales Miranda with details of the mysterious Bohemian Grove, a secretive playground to many incredibly powerful politicians, businessmen, and artists. What happens during their annual two week long encampment? Aislinn thinks it's basically a weird frat party in the woods. Miranda's convinced that they probably hunt men for sport. Since membership is for excessively wealthy or talented males only, it's not like either host will ever know for sure. The information they do have about the camp, however, is really bizarre.

In the southern town of Eberton, Georgia, there stands a large Stonehenge-like monument etched with guidelines for a post-apocalyptic world. No one knows the true identity of who built them, or why the structure was made the way it was. Were the Guidestones commissioned by the New World Order? Why were the plans destroyed after construction? And why was the monument made in the first place?

It's not a slot machine, but goodness knows we wish it was.
During the Cold War, the Canadian government had to contend with the possibility of Soviet spies. In an attempt to negate all liabilities, however, they implemented extremely discriminatory practices against the LGBT population. What followed was an era of fear, government surveillance, and very... questionable science.
How far was the Canadian government willing to go? What practices did they implement? And is it really possible to build a working gay-dar?
Join us as we discuss the trials and tribulations of the Canadian Fruit Machine.

In the 1950s through to the 70s, America's CIA conducted countless studies on unwitting citizens in an attempt to find methods of mind control to use against their Soviet enemies. Sounds like a crazy conspiracy, right?
Except that it's all true, and the scope of it is bigger than most people realize.
Join us as we delve into the intricacies of this project and the CIA's mission for mind control techniques. What was it really? Who was behind it? How could the government allow this? And is it really as bad as it sounds?
All this will be discussed as we take on the mother of American conspiracies: Project MKUltra.

Ireland is a beautiful country with some pretty amazing and vast history behind it, but when your country is as old as this one you are bound to have some spirits lingering from a time long past. In Kilkenny Ireland there are so many things to do and learn about, two of which being The Ghost River, and the infamous Foulksrath Castle. Are these the spirits of residents of yore, or maybe of unfortunate prisoners behind its great walls.

Join us as we delve into the history of Finland to try and discover the truth. Are the U.N. and Russia trying to trick the world? Do the Finnish people truly live in Finland? And how does Japan's lack of Nokia phones play into all of this?

What happens to the nation when the President has a stroke? Historically, the answer is more complicated than you'd think. In this episode, we explore what America was like under President Woodrow Wilson including his life before, during, and after WWI. We also take care to tackle his controversies as well.
Perhaps most importantly, however, we also discuss the role of Edith Wilson in all of this, and how she rose to the challenge when her country needed her the most.

On June 17, 2020, videos started surfacing on social media showing unidentified federal officers in camouflage and masks taking people without a word and carting them away in non-government rental mini-vans. Why are these federal agents taking American citizens? Are the detained individuals really terrorists? What part do the Black Lives Matter protests really play? Is the sovereignty of the state of Oregon being completely ignored?
How has our society gotten to the place where this is considered acceptable?

Before the days of online retailers, there were mattress stores. A lot of them. Right across the street from each other. Often empty. Usually owned by the same company.
Why were there so many Mattress Firms? Why were they so close to one another? Could the stores be a front for an illicit money laundering scheme?
Was it just a weird marketing strategy, or was there something more sinister behind it?

In 1975, an outbreak of arthritis-like symptoms started afflicting the people of Lyme, Connecticut, including the youth. In 1881, a bacterium in ticks was discovered to be the culprit behind the condition now called Lyme Disease. Finding that one answer led to numerous questions. How did the ticks start carrying this bacterium? Why did the disease seem to start affecting humans in 1975? And what role did the United States Biological Weapons Program play in the outbreak?
