But that means that TOMORROW you'll finally learn what happens at OT III and trust me y'all... this is what you have been waiting for. You can't gloss over this episode though because there is still some real juicy stuff to go over here!

TSFU Throwback: Ep. 75- American Terrorist: Ted Kaczynski, The Unabomber Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

This week we're going way back to November 2021... and the 1970's-1990's (yes, Ted went undetected for that long). If you haven't yet heard, Ted Kaczynski, a victim of MKUltra experiments and the man notoriously known as "the Unabomber" died by suicide on June 10, 2023. Ash and former co-host Cam, along with former audio engineer Evette, discuss the heinous government experiments known as MKUltra, which Ash and Cam believe turned Ted Kaczynski into the terrorist that he became.
In the last episode, Ash regaled you with stories of the CIA's secret torture and brainwashing program, MKUltra, and we're going to continue that trend today! Cam is talking about Ted Kaczynski and the MKUltra experiments that were done to him at Harvard, his decades long maiming and killing spree, and how he became the infamous American domestic terrorist known as The Unabomber.
In today's episode Ash and Ali give an update on Ted's death and discuss his connections with MKUltra.

Jonesin' for Jonestown- Ep. 3: The Unravelling May 23, 2023

Show notes

Ash and Dawn Brody of the hilarious and insanely informative HILF: History I'd Like to Fuck podcast start to wrap up the Jonestown saga.
The People's Temple members who go to Guyana first soon find out just how hard that jungle is to clear and how much effort and time it will take to grow crops to sustain the congregation. Meanwhile, back in California, Jones makes Jonestown out to be a paradise with propoganda videos that he ordered the members in Guyana to make. He also starts introducing a lot of talk about sacrifice and death at this point. And when a defaming article comes out about him, he quickly moves the rest of the congregation to what would become their Guyanese jungle hell.
