Hoaxes 2 : Judgement Day
We're back on the hoax train this week and it's... well, there's a lot of rocks. From stories of God speaking to German scientists through rocks to decorative plaques and prehistoric birds, there's a little of everything for the skeptic that lives in all of us.

Mini: This Episode is Cursed
Okay, it's not, but when Emily makes a promise, she delivers! This week we're actually talking about birds and babies again... as in a selection of stories about birds kidnapping babies and how many men with guns it takes to fight off an eagle. Spoiler: it's more than you'd think.

Cursed Objects
Before you pick up that oil painting of a crying boy at your local thrift shop, maybe take a second to consider that it's cursed... This week, we're taking a look at a couple of cursed objects that range from kitschy art to literal historical artifacts and what effect they had on the people who encountered them. Also, we know we were actually thinking of David Attenborough, not Richard. It'll make sense later.

Mini: Architecture & Tapas
We all have that one project that we've been working on for what feels like forever. But imagine that half done jigsaw puzzle was actually the largest church in the world and you've been picking away at it for over a hundred years. This week, Sara returns from her vacation in Spain to tell us the story of the unending construction on La Sagrada Familia.

Cleopatra
The story of Cleopatra seems pretty straightforward. A beautiful Queen using her charms to gain power and, eventually, lose it tragically. While some of that is true, Cleopatra's image and story have long been the victim of Roman propaganda and rumor. We don't claim to have all the answers, but hopefully we can set the record straight on a few details of this incredible woman's life.

Mini: Like a Fiery Claire Danes
It's a vacation episode! Emily visited Los Angeles and came back with stories about old rocks AND old rockers. Mostly the old rocks... specifically old rocks that have crash landed on earth with some...interesting repercussions.

Race for the South Pole
In 1911, two groups of men decided they would try their luck at being the first to reach the South Pole. Of course, it being 1911, this was a bit of an undertaking that resulted in some very cold boys and quite a bit of drama. Warning: This might get rough if you're a fan of dogs and/or ponies...or humans, I guess. Mostly the first two.

Mini: Horny and Disgusted
In our defense, we though that it would be nice to read a few Grimms Fairytales in honor of Valentine's Day. Of course, we forgot who we were dealing with and things went a little off the rails.

Misidentified Children
Sometimes kids go missing and then sometimes (hopefully) they come back. But SOMETIMES the kid that comes back isn't the right one and...things can get a little weird. This week we're covering four cases of missing children that weren't who they seemed and the lengths their families went to in order to untangle the mystery. Warning: This episode covers topics that some listeners might find upsetting (child murder/abuse). Listener discretion is advised.

Mini: Chrismyth Busters
Obviously we couldn't get through the whole holiday season without ruining something, so Sara has some hard truths about topics such as... Jesus' Birthday The creation of Santa and... Which beloved Christmas song isn't really a Christmas song.

Saturnalia
What if I told you that there's a winter holiday where you just drink wine, give gifts, and generally cause lighthearted mayhem? Waaaaaay before Christmas, back in the ancient Roman times, we had Saturnalia, a week of mischief and merriment that needs to be brought back ASAP.

Mini: The Santalorian
This week we're taking a little dive into the life and outrageous miracles of the OG Saint Nicholas.

Mary Shelley
While she may be known mostly for a novel written after a nightmare she had on vacation, Mary Shelley had a whole life aside from Frankenstein. Sure, that life was messy and full of men who didn't deserve her time, but what are you gonna do? This week we're taking a look into the life of the woman who created one of the most fascinating literary genres of all time while she was still (technically) a child.

Unidentified Persons
In the genre of unsolved mysteries there is a very specific category of interest: John and Jane Does with fake identities and strange circumstances surrounding their deaths. This week, we’re exploring a few of these cases to try and untangle some of the knots left by these unknown people.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist
It's time for a different flavor of true crime! On St Patrick's Day weekend 1990, several paintings were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. To this day we still don't know who perpetrated the crime, why and where the hell the paintings ended up.
