Episode 33 - Cowboy Carlton (Part 2) May 30, 2025

Show notes

Now caught in a trap with seemingly no chance of escape, the Investigators must knock some sense back into Carlton before they end up six feet under. Then, there's the matter of getting back at "Desperado" Delia. If they're lucky, this posse may just get to ride off victoriously into the sunset.

Episode 32 - Cowboy Carlton (Part 1) Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

It's finally happened. Frank built a time machine. And of course, its first test run did not go as planned. Now the Investigators have to face the perils of the Wild West, although Carlton seems a little too happy about it. Will Carlton and his "posse" take down the evil Desperado and save a desert town, or will these cowpokes discover a greater danger behind the saloon brawls and horse chases?

Announcement – Heinous Investigations ASMR! Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

Hello fellow Investigators! Jessie here! I am so excited to share that I was able to collaborate with a wonderful ASMR creator on YouTube, Springbok ASMR, to create a fun Heinous Investigations video!

If you're a fan of ASMR, or if you're not but would love to check out a new, exclusive Heinous Investigations short story, you can check out the video on Springbok ASMR's channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDfEo7U6LV4

I also reccomend that you watch some of Springbok's other videos for a nice, calm, and comforting space, where nerdy hobbies and cute little treats are ubiquitous, and everyone can find some peace. I know that I do. Thanks again, Spring! Happy Investigating!

Show notes

Well, the town of Hanesbury has been thrown into chaos, and Heinous Investigations is down one doctor – technically two, with one of them decidedly more dopey than usual. As Delia amasses an army of "evil minions," it will take a truly outrageous plan, or lack thereof, to save the day...

Featuring the Voices of Dio Garner, David Manuele, Emily Foulger, Elena García, Toan Nguyen, Bryce Riffle, AJ Somerville, Maria Elizabeth Burns, Naomi Park, Jamie Forney, Matt Lundquist, and Jessica Castro. With Guest Appearances by Jeffrey Delfin and Christian Pineda.

Episode 30 - Separation Anxiety (Part 1) Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

Hooray! Season 2, Part 2 of Heinous Investigations starts now! And on that note...

In yet another scheme to destroy Heinous Investigations for good, Delia and Circe forge a magical rift that could throw all of Hanesbury into chaos. What neither they nor the Investigators had expected was that Dr. Elliot Quaid would get caught in the middle of it. Meanwhile, curious about the demon seemingly living in their midst, Rachel and Benji go on a Junior Investigator mission of their own, only to discover confusing behavior among Hanesbury’s townspeople.

Featuring the Voices of Dio Garner, David Manuele, Emily Foulger, Elena García, Toan Nguyen, Bryce Riffle, AJ Somerville, Maria Elizabeth Burns, Naomi Park, Jamie Forney, Matt Lundquist, and Jessica Castro. With Guest Appearances by Jeffrey Delfin, Meg Ellsworth, and Christian Pineda.
