    Ep. 278 - The G.A.T.E. Program

    In the 1980s and 90s, a series of programs for exceptionally talented students began appearing in schools across the United States. But in recent years, many former students from the Gifted and Talented Education, or GATE Program, have begun comparing their stories online. And many of them have come to believe that the GATE Program was a cover for a top secret government experiment.

    Ep. 275 - The Witch of New York

    On Christmas 1843, a horrific discovery was made on New York's Staten Island. Inside a cottage, the bodies of a young mother and her infant daughter were discovered. Whoever killed them had tried setting the house on fire to cover up the crime. Soon a woman named Polly Bodine would be arrested for the crime. It was none other than P.T. Barnum who gave her the nickname she would forever be known by, The Witch of Staten Island.
