524: A Toxic Love Story

Tue, 08 Sep 2026

In June 2016, Michelle Hadley was served a restraining order. She was barred from ever again speaking to her ex-boyfriend Ian and his new girlfriend Angela. According to the restraining order, Michelle had been stalking Angela and Ian for months - she'd been making horrible threats against the couple and their soon-to-be-born twins. Michelle was crazy insane. Or was she? Even after watching the documentary three times, we still don't have all the answers, we still don't understand everything that happened, and that's what makes this documentary so great. And our coverage of it absolutely bananas, Fam!

521: The Curious Case of... The Corpse Who Came to Dinner

Tue, 25 Aug 2026

Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband. Perhaps a bit... too close. We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie. Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her? Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort through the shenanigans.

520: Blood on Bourbon Street (from "Fatal Destination")

Thu, 20 Aug 2026

In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would do. However, Shawn would, tragically, be found dead in the room the following morning. On the walls of the room were ripped up and torn out pages from the bible. And on the bed, the creepiest homemade doll - WITH REAL HUMAN HAIR - that was ever created. The search for Shawn's killers was a mess. But in the end, some sort of justice prevailed. But oh my god, can everyone take it down a notch?
