And it happens to be home that special brand of small town charm that involves nonstop political scandal, underhanded rumor campaigns, crooked developers, fearmongering government officials, former government officals out for revenge, lawsuits, and more...

Join Chris, Daniel, and Mike as they discuss this very unique version of Small Town Charm.

On Story of the Week, “journalist” Joel Stein chooses an article that fascinates him, convinces the writer to tell him about it, and then interrupts a good conversation by talking about himself. Sometimes the story will be the one everyone is talking about, like the New Yorker article on smoking hallucinogenic toads. Other times we’ll find a story you might have missed, like the one in the Verge about the rock groupie turned hacker who had huge corporations at her mercy. These are stories you’ll tell your friends about. Stories that stick with you long after you forget whatever headline you just doom-scrolled through.

Christopher Allen was trying to make it as a war reporter when, aged just 26, he was shot and killed on the frontline in South Sudan. But as news of his death began to spread, suspicion grew. Some claimed he was really there as a mercenary, a fighter. Others said he was a reckless freelancer, in over his head. And there was another question: was he killed on purpose, or was this another accident of war? From Tortoise and the team behind Sweet Bobby, Pig Iron is a dark adventure in war and journalism – and into what really happened to Christopher Allen.

We’re Sway & Liz — and if you’re here, you’re probably into the same cosas we are… horror, paranormal, true crime, haunted places, urban legends, and all the stuff people say “don’t look into that at night.”

Welcome to Scaredy Kats Podcast.

This is where we talk about the dark, the weird, and the unexplainable. Serial killers, cursed objects, demonic encounters, haunted locations, missing persons, internet mysteries… y todo lo que te deja pensando “wait… that actually happened?”

We do our research, but we also keep it real. Raw reactions, honest conversations, and that “we probably shouldn’t be laughing at this but we are” kind of energy. Nothing scripted, nothing forced, just us breaking down stories that stay in your head way after the episode ends. It’s horror, it’s true crime, it’s paranormal, it’s cultura, it’s chaos… y es un poquito peligroso a veces.

So whether you’re listening alone at night, on a drive, or trying not to freak yourself out while something creaks in your house… you’re in the right place.

If you feel it… you’re already one of us.

Bienvenidos to the Scaredy Kats familia. Let’s get spooky. 🖤
