176 – The Crocodile Massacre of WWII Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

First off, we apologize as Jess’ mic is terrible in this recording and could not be repaired beforehand.
Jess brings us a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT as well as the story of the Ramree Island Massacre in which supposedly nearly 500 Japanese soldiers were eaten alive by the jungles of Myanmar in WWII. Listen in to this unbelievable story!

175 – Major Dick Bong’s Soaring Success Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

Today we return to the skies as Jess tells the tale of a true American hero of WWII that was lost to the history books. Perhaps it’s because the time was so full of heroes it’s not surprising a few get left behind over time. But perhaps it’s also because he just so happens to have the most absurd name we’ve covered in this show.

For years many Beatlemaniacs were convinced Paul had died in 1966 and there were secret clues hidden across the albums that could be decoded with some wit, some wisdom, and probably some weed. Listen into this classic urban legend about a musical giant.
