Grief is not a linear, logical process. Neither is this conversation. Both are, for me, necessary.

136 -- Go With Peace and Love -- the death of Janet Moses -- with Heather from Sunshine and PowerCuts May 19, 2019

Show notes

Any story has several sides, and this one is no exception. Janet Moses died at 22 from a "dry drowning," but was it a series of errors and abuses, or simply a case of cultures clashing?

135 -- Humans Are Bizarre -- crime and philosophy -- with Michael from Murder Mile May 18, 2019

Whether we're discussing crime or how to describe ourselves to others, insight is not an easy thing. Do we ever really know what we're like? Michael doesn't think so...

133 -- A Mountain of Nope -- Danny Rolling -- with Courtney from The Cult of Domesticity May 08, 2019

Show notes

In the world of true crime, we're often fascinated more by some cases than others. Courtney joined me to talk about one that has appalled me for a very long time...
Danny Rolling, media-nicknamed the "Gainesville Ripper" after a series of horrific crimes in August 1990, was just a bad dude. But he had some latent talents that could have pulled his entire life in a different direction.

131 -- Sexy Sadistic Slayer Sheila LaBarre -- with Bloody Murder Apr 29, 2019

Show notes

The last time I talked about Sheila LaBarre, it was Episode 27, with the Voice of the Victim podcast. This time, it's a different style , with a lot more walruses.
Tara and Barney are so smart and so great, and I have no idea why they put up with me. Mostly sustained groveling, I think.
From the Bloody Murder show notes:
Diagnosed as acutely delusional and sadistic, rabbit-lovingSheila LaBarre murdered at least two of her boyfriends, Michael Deloge and Kenneth Countie, on her remote farm in Epping, New Hampshire. She said she had died of a drug overdose and was sent back to Earth as an angel with special powers here to seek vengeance on paedophiles. The problem was that her victims were not paedophiles. She would seduce slightly built, transient men, move them into her house and completely dominate their lives. Then she would torture them into confessing to being paedophiles on tape, before killing them and burning their remains.

My dad died on 15 April 2019, by suicide. This is a very raw and difficult recording I did in my Facebook group.
The artwork was his home screen on his phone. It's by Emily, called "Hope."
