The Grim Sleeper: Lonnie Franklin Jr. *PART 1* (Re-VAMPED Archive EP) Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

Los Angeles in the 80s was an extremely dangerous place to be if you were a woman, specifically a black woman. Not only did you have to find a way to support yourself and your family at a time when unemployment was at an all time high, but you had to worry about making it back home safely every day because there were MULTIPLE serial killers active at the time, that specifically targeted black women.

Some were caught quickly, and others were able to murder for years, even decades. So JOIN US as we discuss a murderer who was able to evade capture, for over almost 30 years. A man the media dubbed, the Grim Sleeper. (aka Lonnie Franklin Jr.)

Josiah Henson: The Story of "Uncle Tom" (Episode 216) Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

So sorry about the audio!

The term we know as “Uncle Tom” is NOT based on a man named Tom. It’s actually the title of a book.. And the man the book was written about, spoiler alert, was NOT A SELL OUT like so many of us have come to believe. In fact, he was an enslaved man that was intelligent, freakishly strong, a husband AND the father of 12 children that just wanted to protect his family and LEGALLY pay his way to freedom. So how did his legacy get twisted into something that it’s not??

JOIN US as we discuss who “Uncle Tom” REALLY was. And his name was Josiah Henson.
