  • 101 – Holmes
    May 14 2026

    Sam shares the chilling story of H. H. Holmes, one of America’s earliest and most infamous serial killers.

    Operating during the late 1800s in Chicago, Holmes became notorious during the time of the 1893 World’s Fair. Behind his charming demeanor and successful business ventures was a dark and calculated killer whose crimes would become the stuff of legend.

    Holmes is most remembered for his so-called “Murder Castle,” a building allegedly designed with hidden rooms, secret passages, and deadly traps. While some details surrounding the case have become exaggerated over time, the horrifying reality of his fraud, manipulation, and murders remains deeply disturbing.

    This episode explores the myth, the man, and the terrifying legacy Holmes left behind in turn-of-the-century America.

  • 99 – The Kent State Shootings
    May 7 2026

    Jeff covers the story of the Kent State shootings, a pivotal and tragic moment in American history that took place on May 4, 1970.

    During a period of intense national unrest over the Vietnam War, students at Kent State University gathered to protest the expansion of the conflict into Cambodia. What began as a demonstration escalated into chaos when members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed students.

    In just 13 seconds, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. The event shocked the nation, ignited further protests across college campuses, and became a defining moment in the conversation around war, civil rights, and the role of government force against its own citizens.

    This episode explores not only what happened that day, but the lasting impact it left on American society.

  • 98 – Apollo 13
    Apr 30 2026

    Jeff tells the incredible true story of Apollo 13, the near-disastrous NASA mission that became one of the greatest survival stories in space exploration history.

    What was meant to be a routine lunar mission quickly turned into a life-or-death crisis when an onboard explosion crippled the spacecraft. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were left stranded in space, relying on ingenuity, teamwork, and ground support to make it home alive. Jeff also connects the lessons learned from Apollo 13 to the future of space exploration, including Artemis II, NASA’s upcoming mission aimed at returning humans to the Moon.
