Elvis, Elvis, let me be, keep that pelvis far from me! This week we’re diving into the disappearance of the Grimes sisters. In December of 1956 Barbara and Patricia Grimes went to the local theater to see Elvis’s newest picture on the big screen. It was the last time they were seen alive.

GLORIOUS Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Hi Babes! This week we’re exploring Gloriavale, ‘a christian community home to more than 90 families.’ They swear they’re not a cult…but if it looks like a cult, and it quacks like a cult…I’ll let you be the judge. We’ve got a prophet, a compound, and a whole lot of blue.
