238: Thoughts and Prayers Jun 28, 2022

This week we’re doing a deep-dive into faith healing in relation to negligent homicide and discussing several stories of when ‘thoughts & prayers’ just weren’t enough. We’ll start off with the arrest and ironic death of self-proclaimed healer Jack Coe, and then learn about a church in Oregon with a lot of buried secrets as well as several other stories of children whose parents did the unthinkable.

232: How Sad, How Lovely Jun 07, 2022

This week we’re discussing the life of singer-songwriter Connie Converse who disappeared in August of 1974 never to be seen or heard from again. When Connie’s music began to resurface in the early 2000’s many began to realize that she was a real pioneer for folk music and perhaps one of the earliest female singer-songwriters, so what would cause her to just up and leave?

180: Introducing: The Shrink Next Door Nov 24, 2021

Veteran journalist Joe Nocera’s neighbor in the Hamptons was a therapist named Ike. Ike counted celebrities and Manhattan elites as his patients. He’d host star-studded parties at his eccentric vacation house. But one summer, Joe discovered that Ike was gone and everything he’d thought he’d known about his neighbor -- and the house next door -- was wrong. From Wondery, the company behind Dirty John and Dr. Death, and Bloomberg, “The Shrink Next Door” is a story about power, control and turning to the wrong person for help for three decades. Written and hosted by Joe Nocera, a columnist for Bloomberg. The Shrink Next Door is now an Apple Original series, starring Will Ferrell and Paul Rudd. Watch now only on Apple TV+.

Oh yes cult babes, yes I did, I mean how could I not? This week we’re covering the real life story behind Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do it.

We’re discussing how 11 year old David Glatzel got possessed, and more importantly how he passed it on to Arne Johnson leading to the death of 40 year old Alan Bono.

When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.”
