The 4/20 Special with Chad the Bird Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

What happens when you pen a window in the studio? Well, if the bird is named Chad, you roll one up and talk about the history of Marijuana. From its earliest mentions in ancient history to the current legalization efforts, we cover the gamut with Chicago's own pop cultural propagandist. And while most podcasts would hold on to their 4/20 episode until April, we're not like other podcasts, so enjoy our special episode. Audio Warning- our microphones did not record properly, so the audio for the three of us were recorded off of the laptop mic. Headphones are highly suggested.

Campfire Tales: More Music Urban Legends Feb 05, 2025

Did you hear the one about Keith Richards snorting his dad? What about Rod Stewart getting his stomach pumped of rather unsavory contents? Does the rock band Kiss' name really stand for Knights in Satan's Service? We have those stories and more this week on tap.

Episode 135: Dennis Rader: BTK part 1 Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

It's been a while since we tackled a big-name serial killer; it's time we rectify that. This week, we focus on the one and only Dennis Rader, also known as BTK, which stands for Bind, Torture, Kill. Thanks to the research by our dedicated listener and research assistant Leighann, we get a glimpse into Rader's uneventful childhood. Then we look at his victims through the end of the 1970s.

Campfire Tales: The Legend of the Hopi Ant People Jan 29, 2025

Show notes

Recently, a Brazilian tribesman was shown a picture of what we call a grey Alien. Having never been introduced to the concept of extraterrestrials, the Brazilian tribesman nevertheless recognized the photo, saying they live underground. Welcome to the story of the ant people. A similar story exists in Hopi Native American lore, and once the phrase "ant friend" is translated into the Hopi language, it is sure to set conspiracy theorists' brains into full meltdown.

Episode 134: The M Cave Disappearance/ The Cave of Death Drownings Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

Why do people insist on doing stupid things underground? This week, we look at two more caving incidents. First, we look at the disappearance of Kenny Veach, a YouTuber who insisted on going to search for a mysterious cave in the Mojave Desert alone, only to vanish without a trace. Then, we look at a group of people who decided that going into a cave that was only accessible through a fifteen-foot underwater tunnel was the smart thing to do.
