S19 Ep112: Lethal Doses: The Story Behind The Godfather of Fentanyl w/ John Madinger Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

True Crime Tuesday presents: Lethal Doses: The Story Behind The Godfather of Fentanyl with former Narcotics Agent/Criminal Investigator/Supervisor/Author, John Madinger!
On a cold afternoon in February 1991, a frightening new drug hit the streets of New York City, a synthetic narcotic marketed in packets labeled “Tango & Cash.” As police scrambled to warn heroin users of the danger, the overdose victims began piling up in hospital emergency rooms and county morgues across three states. The clandestine chemist was George Erik Marquardt. Starting at just twelve years old, Marquardt used his extraordinary talents to make every illegal drug in the book, from bootleg booze to heroin. He brewed LSD for Timothy Leary and the Grateful Dead, methamphetamine for outlaw motorcycle gangs, nerve gas for Idaho Nazis, and even life-saving AZT for AIDS patients. But when that ice-cold son of a bitch turned to fentanyl, thousands of Americans would die.
On today's TCT, John Madinger, Author of "Lethal Doses: The Story Behind The Godfather Of Fentanyl" joins us to talk about the journey of the man nicknamed, "Squeak", discuss his motivations, his lack of moral center, and the thrill he got when it came to manufacturing synthetic drugs, and what Marquardt might have done in another lifetime under better circumstances.

S19 Ep108: The Devil In Dreamland: Catholic Faith, UFO's, Occultism, &The End of the Supernatural w/Ursula Bielski Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

Darkness Radio presents: The Devil In Dreamland: Catholic Faith, UFO's, Occultism, &The End of the Supernatural with Paranormal Investigator/ Researcher/Podcaster/ Author, Ursula Bielski!
In 2018, reeling from a real spiritual battle after tangling with the occult, thirty-five year veteran paranormal researcheer Ursula Bielski thought she’d look at the spiritually “harmless” field of UFO research. What she found was a culture and history more steeped in the occult than any tarot card-reading, crystal-carrying psychic witch she’d encountered in her long career. The study of UFOs uncovered, in fact, a world and a heritage full of channeling, seances, black magick and every other subcategory of the New Age.
As she devoured the literature on encounters with what “experiencers” believed to be UFOs and extraterrestrials, Bielski was also finding that, in case after case, the “evidence” that was being left behind by these beings—burns, scratches, bruises, unexplained pregnancies, poltergeist activity, radio and phone communications, and (most maliciously) dark turns in personalities and relationships—was often identical to the evidence left after encounters with the demonic. On today's show. Ursula talks about these findings, her journey, and if she believes whether there can truly be other God created races in the universe for us to discover!

True Crime Tuesday Presents: Fatal Intrusion with Researchers/ Journalist/ Former Officer/ Authors, Jeffrey Deaver and Isabella Maldonado!
On Today's TCT we welcome in award winning authors, Jeffrey Deaver (CBS' Tracker) and Isabella Maldonado (The Cipher - Netflix) in to talk about their latest amazing thriller, Fatal Intrusion! Fatal Intrusion features Carmen Sanchez, a tough, by the book federal agent with Homeland Security Investigations, and Professor Jake Heron, a brilliant & quirky private security expert who operates in the gray areas. As a wave of murders grips the Southern California, and all signs point to a serial killer, the unlikely pair join forces (against Carmen's better judgement, given their history) to outsmart and outmaneuver the ruthless perpetrator. But, in just 72 hours time, the pair will find out that they may have bitten off a little bit more than they can chew as the case defies their wealth of collective knowledge!
Jeffrey and Isabella cover characters, where they drew inspiration from for certain parts of the book, how to still get thrills and jumps from an audience that has seen everything, and much more on today's program!
