Rebroadcast: Say Her Name: The Life and Death Of Sandra Bland. Jun 06, 2020

Show notes

On July 10, 2015, a 28 year-old black woman named Sandra Bland was pulled over in a small Texas town for failing to use a turn signal when she changed lanes. She was ultimately arrested and taken to the county jail. Three days later, she was found dead in her cell. The official coroner's report ruled the death a suicide, but many people believe that Sandra Bland was murdered. Sandy, as she was known to her family and friends, became a national figure in the Black Lives Matter Movement and "Say Her Name" attempts to uncover the truth behind her arrest and death.

Israel Keyes: Method of a Serial Killer Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

Israel Keyes is the most terrifying serial killer you’ve maybe never heard of.
Here’s what we know about him: He was methodical—he left “kill kits” hidden all across the country. He hid them years before using them, so he was also patient and self controlled. He picked his victims at random to avoid detection and is believed to have murdered at least 11 people across the United States between 2001 and 2012. He was a meticulous serial killer who constantly morphed his modus operandi and the location in which he killed which helped him evade capture for years.
In this bone chilling documentary, we actually see him kidnap his final victim, and we watch him being arrested. We go into the interrogation room with him as the police and FBI try to get the names and locations of his victims. But it’s all a game to Keyes, and he’s only willing to divulge a few of his secrets.

Show notes

Brittany Murphy was a rising star who had it all, beauty, fame, and success … but she also had secrets. When she was found dead in her Los Angeles home at just 32 years old, Hollywood and legions of fans are left in disbelief. While her autopsy revealed that she died of natural causes, many believe foul play was involved. Details of her life and death emerge after her husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, embark on a bizarre media blitz, creating more questions than answers. Then, within months, Monjack perishes under strikingly similarly circumstances – in the same bed he and Brittany once shared, only this time, allegedly with Brittany’s mother sleeping beside him.

Show notes

YOU GUYS, DO YOU HAVE A PC? I PROMISE I WON’T TELL GILLIAN? Gringo tells the story of John McAfee who invented anti-virus software, AND AS BORING AS THAT SOUNDS, I PROMISE THIS IS ANYTHING BUT! He owned that software company for, like, two weeks, got bought out, and relocated to Belize. There, he devolved into a SUPER-PARANOID, UBER-RICK lunatic. He gets mixed up in drug trafficking, sex offender shit, AND MURDERS HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. Ugh, it’s a lot. OH, and he absconds to Guatemala…and the Guatemalans are PISSSSSSSSSED about it.
Then he comes back to the US and runs for President. Because, of course.

131: TREAD May 05, 2020

Show notes

YOU GUYS WE REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!! WE ALMOST NEVER SAY THAT!
Marvin Heemeyer was a beloved resident of Granby, Colorado. He was a welder by trade and he loved his work. But slowly he came to believe that the town was out to get him. And then, according to Marvin, God told him to “get” the town first. So he bought a bulldozer and secreted himself away. For months he worked on the “Dozer” turning it into killing machine that the media would call a Kill-Dozer. And on June 4, 2004, he took his sixty-three ton machine on a rampage of the town. And the footage is as unbelievable as the story.
