  • The Indiana Ogress - A Very Mean Nickname For A Very Mean Person - Belle Gunness
    May 20 2024

    Belle Gunness was a loving mother who was unlucky in love. And business ownership. And home ownership. And in being a mother. And in keeping her partners alive. And apparently lived on a farm full of dead bodies in sacks. Totally inappropriate that John would write an entire script explaining how she was a serial killer. Like there was barely any evidence. Listen this week as John purposefully defames a perfectly decent butcher to Aaron.

  • Two Sides of the Same Coin - Isaac Newton's Nemesis
    May 6 2024

And sometimes you're the smartest man in the world and your nemesis is some guy that forges coins. This week Aaron takes us through the story of Isaac Newton and his nemesis, William Chaloner.

  • Arr, me hearties! - 3 Female Pirates Who Bucked the Trend
    Apr 8 2024

    Whenever you think of pirate, you probably think of a whole lot of stereotypes. Long, dirty hair. An eye patch. A big tri-point hat, maybe even with a skull and crossbones. Maybe even some really fetching frilly sleeves. A peg leg. A parrot on the shoulder. But I'll bet there is one thing you didn't picture - a woman pirate. This week Aaron will take us through the tale of 3 pioneering, buccaneering, pilfering women.
