Show notes

There are all sorts of reasons that people have turned to cannibalism. But perhaps the most terrifying reason of all, is because some people evidently develop a taste for it. In this episode I tell you the stories of several cannibal killers throughout history.

Ep. 106 - The Happiest Man on Death Row Jul 22, 2019

Show notes

The idea that some crimes are punishable by death is something that appears in legal systems dating back at least as far as the ancient Babylonian Code of Hammurabi. But the death penalty isn’t always fair, and often times throughout history, tragic and horrible mistakes have been made. Listen to the stories of some executions gone wrong, of two men who apparently couldn’t be hanged, and what happens when an innocent man is put to death.

In this episode I tell you about the lives, and deaths of two of the most famous artists who ever lived. Canada’s Tom Thomson and Vincent Van Gogh have a lot in common.

Ep. 104 - The Castle Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

We all know the story of the sinking of the Titanic, but the early 20th century also saw several other equally tragic maritime disasters that are almost forgotten to history. In this episode I tell you the stories of the capsized S.S. Eastland, and of the tragic fire that swept through the cruise ship the Morro Castle. The story of the Morro Castle is especially disturbing because much of the evidence points to the fire being deliberately set by one man.
