- Episode 41 (Murders We Find Interesting)
We're going to go out on a limb here and say that, by and large, murder is ~*~bad~*~ and shouldn't be celebrated. That said, sometimes you find out about a murder and it's so interesting that you can't help but tell two of your best macabre buddies about it.
This episode is a special episode celebrating the return of Liz; you'll get to hear us talk about murder cases that we find especially interesting and strange - whether it's about hex magick, drug deals gone horribly wrong, or a family of vampires (no really!)
Tune in and don't forget to be social with us, we love you!

1h 34m - Apr 12, 2022 - Episode 40 (Waco Inferno)
Sometimes a situation happens where there are no winners, where everyone fucks up somehow. There is hardly a better way to describe what happened in Waco, Texas in 1993 between the Branch Davidians and the FBI.
We're going to try and make sense of this tragedy by going over who the Branch Davidians were, who the FBI informant was, how the FBI messed up so badly, and the lasting implications of the siege at the Waco compound.
1h 26m - Feb 10, 2022 - Episode 39 (Buckle Up Your Babies)
"Darling mother, where is your sweet babe?/Why does it cry so queer?/Is this your once cherubic boy?/Or could a changeling be here?"
***
The legend of the changeling spans countries and centuries. In this episode, we go through some of the stories surrounding this phenomenon and explore what could be behind this legend.
For those interested, here are Renee's sources (which she forgot to mention in the episode): “Autism and Changelings” by Michael Fitzgerald, “Changelings And ASD” by Rhonda Parrish, “Changelings” by D.L Ashliman, “Evidence for autism in folklore?” By Dr J Leask, and “The changelings: fairy tales about autism?” by José R. Alonso

56m - Nov 19, 2021 - Episode 38 (The Kid is Not My Son)
Hello hello conspiracy pals! In this episode we're going over the highs, lows, and lower lows of the case involving Christine Collins and her son, Walter. We travel back to a time when the police could have you committed to a mental hospital if you annoyed them, although I guess times haven't changed too much.
We'll also cover a few additional cases where the police in charge let their hubris prevent them from adequately solving a case. Great times!

58m - Aug 13, 2021 - Episode 37 (The Spiritualism School of Hard Knocks)
We're back y'all. And we're back with a bang! Or well....maybe a few spooky knocks.
Join us this episode as we explore the (in?)famous Fox Sisters, how they started the Spiritualism movement, then abandoned it, then sought to discredit it entirely. We'll also discuss the (somewhat) altruistic efforts of Harry Houdini (if you've ever heard of him....) in trying to discredit Spiritualism himself.

1h 13m - May 17, 2021 - Episode 36 (Molasses Butts)
Content Warning this episode for....well just about anything you can think of! This episode we're covering Roch Thériault and the Ant Hill Kids in excruciating detail, something we probably immediately regret.

1h 2m - Dec 9, 2020 - Episode 35 (Call Your Mother)
Look, we get it, motherhood isn't easy. Mothering during a pandemic? Even more difficult. But there's uh....quite a few steps you can take before you start microwaving your kids.
For more heartwarming (no pun intended) stories of mothers who uh....reversed the birthing process....listen to this week's episode!

1h 5m - Nov 6, 2020 - Episode 34 (Welcome to Illuminati HQ)
There are a lot of reasons to go to Denver Airport. Maybe you're smuggling special gummy bears back to the red state you call home, maybe you're taking a nice trip to a tropical location, or maybe you're on your way to a secret bunker meeting with the Reptilians who control the upper echelons of our society.
Whatever your reasons, you'll be greeted by a gigantic, murderous, blue mustang on your way in and be greeted by multiple pieces of post-apocalyptic artwork as you make your journey. Happy Travels!

Happy Spooky Season! If you only know Ed and Lorraine Warren from the Conjuring movies, you're in for a treat. We dive into who the Warrens were, what happened in their famous cases, and the different controversies surrounding the infamous paranormal investigation duo.

1h 16m - Oct 16, 2020 - Episode 32 (Listen, Little Reptilian!)
Aliens, Lucifer, the New World Order, Esoteric Religious Beliefs, Orgone Receptors, a Strange Murder, Celebrity Reptilians, this cult has just about everything! This week we're delving into the strange conspiracy beliefs of Sherry Shriner and her Virtual Reptilian Cult.
Disclaimer: We discuss this a bit in the episode, but just to make it perfectly clear, the term "reptilians" is often an anti-Semitic dog whistle for certain groups both online and in real life. Please be wary of any group talking about "reptilians" for this specific reason.

1h 8m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 31 (An Iron Receptacle of Doom)
Warning: this episode is pretty gross, and pretty gruesome. Don't blame us, we didn't tell Albert Fish to be a weird, pedophiliac serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism.
That's right, this episode we're suppressing our gag reflexes long enough to cover a serial killer somehow more disgusting than Richard Chase. Albert Fish famously indulged in "every sort of vice known to man," including spanking himself with a studded paddle in front of his kids until he bled and sticking needles all up in his body.

1h 17m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 30 (We're All Gonna Die)
Looking for some escapism from constant coronavirus coverage? Would you like to hear about some other, way worse pandemics? Of course you do!
In this episode we're tackling some of the worst times in humanity: from smallpox to cholera to the Black Death herself. Hear how mankind managed to conquer these diseases and pandemics, and find out why we're all struggling to get ahead of this one.
As always, we'll discuss some fun stuff, like how our spouses are (maybe) accidentally trying to poison us.

1h 32m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 29 (Do What Thou Wilt)
Are you familiar with the man behind these quotes: "Sex is the sacred song of the soul; Sex is the sanctuary of Self," "The key of joy is disobedience," and of course "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
This episode, we're going in-depth on a man whose writings have influenced the majority of - if not all - esoteric thought for the past century. Aleister Crowley is iconic for choosing to stand out and speak out without apology or hesitation, and we'll discuss how a bratty, spoiled English boy named Edward Alexander Crowley became the epochal Aleister Crowley.

1h 18m - Oct 2, 2020 - A Gnarly Gnocchi Second Helping
Social distancing problems require social distancing solutions! We love telling creepypasta stories so much we decided to do ONE MORE creepypasta episodes for y'all!
Listen on to find out how to deal with dead bodies that won't stay dead, wives who have ghostly doppelgangers, and a woman possessed by demons trying to bring the Antichrist into the world.
Listener beware, you're in for a scare-y good time!

2h 17m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 27 (Selling Bathwater Before It Was Trendy)
(*NOTE* this episode was recorded before the pandemic! Don't worry, we are all still social distancing like champs!)
What happens when a bunch of anime nerds starve themselves and infiltrate a police force? A deadly sarin gas attack, killing 13 people and injuring thousands.
Yeah, turns out when a guy claims to be the "Lamb of God", forces you to buy his bathwater (AND BLOOD) to drink, and constantly preaches about the end of the world, he probably has some nefarious tricks up his sleeve. Join us this episode to learn the most metal (no pun intended) way we've heard a cult dispose of their enemies yet and why anime nerds shouldn't be trusted.

1h 14m - Oct 2, 2020 - ConspiraTea - A Leery Lasagna Special
Back by popular demand (for real, y'all love some spooky spaghetti), we're doing another creepypasta episode! Get ready for interdimensional diners, makeshift graves, and how to lose your soul in an abandoned church.
Because of the need for social distancing, we Skyped in for this episode so the quality isn't as good as usual, but we think that just makes these pastas even creepier.
The tea we're sippin' on: a variety actually (we didn't coordinate this time) but we still highly recommend getting yourself some August Uncommon teas to soothe yourself during this trying time. (august.la/)

1h 45m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 25 (Who Killed Atlanta's Children?)
From 1979-1981, Atlanta was crippled by a devastating series of murders targeting young, black kids. In the two year period, 28 children lost their lives. So who was responsible? A suspect was convicted, but is he guilty of all the murders? Some of the murders? None of them?
Join us as we discuss a true crime story that hits very close to home for us. And let us know what you believe *really* happened!

1h 0m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 24 (I Was Once Very Happy)
As far as ghost stories go, they don't get much more interesting than the Bell Witch. If you want to hear about a ghost who sang songs, mimicked voices, and recited Bible verses for fun, you'll love hearing about Kate and her many bouts of trickery. There truly has never been a haunting like this one.

Happy Black History Month! Just like Pride Month, we're celebrating by covering a tragedy.
Is it easier to believe MLK Jr was shot by a rogue white supremacist? Sure. But the truth should be more important to us than what's easy. We dissect the possibility that the FBI and the US government lied and covered up the true events that ended in the assassination of one of the twentieth century's greatest leaders.
We also talk about fun stuff! Like our caffeine intake and, y'know, how important voting is.

57m - Oct 2, 2020 - Episode 22 (God and Satan Can Be Friends)
What do you get when you combine God, Jesus, Lucifer, and Satan? A beautiful mélange of black turtlenecks, Satan-based coffeeshops, trippy magazines, silver cross necklaces, and German shepherds. (yes, after we recorded this podcast we looked up what "Alsatians" were and apparently it's another name for German shepherds. It's not our fault the Brits have to use a ridiculous word for everything [true story, our British fans refer to us as the "ConsipsyTipsy PodsyWodsy"])
We also talk about everyone's favorite topic for family dinners: politics. Mostly about how ridiculous everything is now.
