Brutal, bizarre, and boozy podcast Jane and Deklan

This week, Deklan tells us about Armin Maiwes. He lived in Germany and placed a strange and unique online ad. He was looking for someone willing to let him cannibalize them. Bernd Brandes answered the ad but the encounter didn’t go exactly as each had planned.
Jane tells us about a man who called in to a radio show telling a weird tale. He said his name was Mel Waters and he reported he had a deep wild hole on his property in Washington state. His stories seemed out of this world. But who was he and where is the hole?
We also drink the appropriately named drink, the Cannibal.
