    Richard Speck: Is that a Knife in your Pocket, Sir?

    Join us as we discuss a mass murderer from the American heartland: Mr. Richard Speck. Part young man just trying to get ahead in life by drinking and couch surfing, part murderous, knife-wielding woman-hater, Speck tortured, raped (at least one victim), and murdered 8 nursing students on the night of July 13, 1966 in Chicago, Illinois. He would be easily captured and convicted for these crimes that left an indelible mark on the community of South Chicago. Did I mention the female hormones and sex tape scandal from his time in prison yet? I didn't? You don't believe me? Well, you'll just have to listen to the episode to see if this is fake news or not.  If you prefer looking and listening, you can find our episodes in video form over at YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOfvqpv0LvHGC7ss3USYuEA.

    John Wayne Gacy-Part Two: This is Why I Hate Clowns

    Join us as we wrap up our two-part series on America's favorite clown: Mr. John Wayne Gacy! We continue the story following Gacy's first murder and go full on clown as we discuss how Mr. Gacy came to be known as The Killer Clown. Learn about how he created not only Pogo the Clown, but also the lesser known Patches and used this outwardly friendly and innocent visage to go unnoticed for years as he continued to rape and murder young men in the Chicago region. Did I mention the photo op with President Carter's wife yet? I didn't? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out more.

    John Wayne Gacy-Part One: All Abuse & No Play Makes John a Dull Boy

    Join us for Part One of a two part series on America's favorite clown: Mr. John Wayne Gacy! Part loveable family man who volunteered at local children's hospitals, part rapist/murderer who targeted young men in Chicago, Gacy has made quite the name for himself in serial killer pop culture. Many of you know him as Pogo the Clown, his alter ego, but you may not know about his early development and his less than ideal childhood. In Part One, we discuss the origin story of Gacy while also working our way up to his first murder and first "use" of his new home's ample crawlspace. Did I mention his extensive childhood medical history and head injury yet? As Laura says, "It's always a head injury." Tune in to find out more!
