Rogue Transmissions, Part 1 Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

I am breaking into your feed to tell you that Rogue Transmissions has arrived. It’s a collaboration with me and other top indie podcasts that will drag you deep into the shadows of the 1980s. Forgotten broadcasts. Dark legends. Disturbing true stories. It’s the kind of tales you won’t hear anywhere else.

This isn’t nostalgia.
This is a transmission from the darker side of history.

Rogue Transmissions: the edgy, semi-annual anthology of indie podcasts--is invading your podcast feed with DUNGEONPUNK PART 1- a symphony of 80s nostalgia, dystopian cyberpunk, and savage swords drawn against both super sorcery & super science. Featuring an adventuring party of your indie podcast favourites!

FIRST UP, Octoberpod presents "Byzantium Slab: Life Without A Soul," a wraparound tale of savagery & adventure in the dystopian Kingdom of the Witch King (featuring the voice talents of Ari Shey, MJ McAddams, and Family Plot podcast's Arthur Williams). THEN: Our True Crime Podcast presents "The Acid King of the 80s" a true crime case of drugs, delusion, DnD, and murder. LATER: The Morbid Forest Takes "A Roll of the Dice" on a journey into a role playing game that is much more than it appears. FINALLY: The Serial Napper herself, Nikki Young, lulls you to sleep (or into the arms of a nightmare) with the true tale of "Monsters Made of Dice"

Rogue Transmission 4: DungeonPunk. Total Power. Total Mystery. Total Savagery...Totally AWESOME!

The Murder of Oceana Sneed May 29, 2026

Show notes

Today, our friends at the podcast Fresh Hell take us back to 19th-century Kentucky to uncover the haunting and tragic story of Oceana Sneed — a woman whose life became tangled in betrayal, violence, and one of the most infamous family murder scandals of the era. What began as whispers of greed and forbidden relationships would soon erupt into a horrifying crime that shocked an entire community and left behind questions that still linger today.

Who was Oceana Sneed really? A devoted wife trapped in impossible circumstances? A calculating conspirator? Or a victim of a much darker family dynamic hidden behind closed doors? Fresh Hell podcast will unravel the twisted relationships, suspicious deaths, courtroom drama, and chilling aftermath that transformed this case into a true-crime legend.

As always, listener discretion is advised. Fresh Hell contains discussions of murder, violence, and disturbing historical events that may not be suitable for all audiences.

So dim the lights, settle in, and prepare yourself… because some family secrets were never meant to stay buried

The French Loudun Possessions: Devils, Desire, and a Burning Truth May 27, 2026

Show notes

In 1632, an entire convent of nuns was allegedly possessed by demons. In the centre of all this was a Mother Superior, an exorcist, and a priest. By the end of these events, one would become famous, one would go insane, and the last one would be dead.

So grab a rosary, my spooky friends. Today, we are going to talk about one of the most famous cases of mass possessions in history.

The Todmorden UFO Case: A Death That Science Can’t Explain May 20, 2026

Show notes

Imagine leaving your home for a few minutes just long enough to buy a bag of potatoes. You tell your partner that you will be right back, walk out the front door, and vanish—no phone call, no note, and no trace. Then, five days later, your body appears in a place no one expected.

So break out your tin foil hats, my spooky friends. Today, we are going to talk about a UFO event like no other.

Child Serial Killers: Evil at an Early Age May 13, 2026

Show notes

Across history, there have been cases so disturbing that even seasoned investigators struggled to understand them. Kids who should have been riding bikes, trading baseball cards, or doing homework were leaving behind crime scenes, terrified communities, and questions that still haunt psychologists and criminologists to this day. Is it pure evil? A broken mind, or perhaps something more disturbing than we want to admit?

So break out your notebooks and pens, my spooky friends. Today, we are going to talk about something deeply unsettling…killers that still had a curfew. But before we get started, I want to give you a heads up. Today, we will be talking about violence among children, child abuse and the death of children. Listener discretion is advised.

The British Premonitions Bureau: When Psychics Predicted Disaster May 06, 2026

Show notes

Imagine for a moment a world with future technology that allows the authorities to catch criminals before a crime is even committed. Sounds like a movie? That’s because it is. This is the plot for the 2002 movie “Minority Report” starring Tom Cruise. Cool concept, but pure fiction, right? Not quite.

So break out your tin foil hats, my spooky friends. Today, you will hear the tale of a psychiatrist who tried to do just that.

Show notes

Deep in the mist-shrouded mountains of Austria is one of the most chilling strongholds in all of Europe. Moosham Castle is a place where medieval power, brutal justice, and ancient superstition collided…and where echoes of tragedy still linger in its stone corridors and shadowy dungeons.

Albert Fish: The Cannibal Serial Killer Who Terrified America Apr 22, 2026

So set the table, my spooky friends. Today, you are going to hear the tale of a man who redefined evil. But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up. Today we will be talking about sexual violence, graphic murders, child abuse, self-harm, graphic torture and cannibalism. Listener discretion is advised.

Amelia Earhart: Vanished Without a Trace Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Amelia Earhart was an American aviation pioneer who fundamentally changed things for women. She shattered gender stereotypes in aviation and fought for equal rights. She proved that women had the skill, endurance, and expertise that were traditionally reserved for men. She paved the way for future generations to be part of what used to be male-dominated fields. But Amelia wasn’t able to enjoy her success for very long.

So buckle up, my spooky friends. Today, you are going to hear the tale of a woman who broke the mould and then was never seen again
