The Wyrd Sisters The Wyrd Sisters Podcast

A storage container full of teddy bears, several getaway cars, and a taxidermy rat. What do these things have in common? They're all evidence in a series of heists and police reports warn shits about to get WYRD. We're talking crime this week. Organised crime. We're taking a break from everything grizzly and gory to bring you some wholesome content. As always, be sure to check the content warnings just in case. 

Lockdown 5 has fallen over Melbourne, Aus and with the rest of the world still very much on fire, we think it is time for a well deserved break. So sit down, pour yourself a cup of tea (or something stronger) and relax with these tales three. 

Mask up, get vaccinated when able, and save Halloween. We love you.

Content Warnings: Brief mention of rape and suicide.

Wall And Piece by Banksy (Book)

Animals are the best people. Fight us if you disagree. You'll win, for we are pre-arthritic and collapse at the thought of having to perform a high school beep test, but we'll attempt to anyway. Today we discuss the marvellous menageries of Nazi-era Germany, the best helpers a war effort could ask for, and the high key human trash that live for exotic animal ownership. Please forgive our lengthy absence with this extra girthy episode of bizarre beasts 3

Cemeteries: the iconic first date site for goths and socially awkward weirdos the world round. What's not to love about secret bat treasure, burped up bodies, and vampire-obsessed mobs? Romance is in the air on Lacey's Mystery History Hour! Take a break and listen along as Lacey takes Tay and Laura on a trip down cemetery lane (Cue dated My Chemical Romance track), discussing statues rubbed raw by shameless single hands seeking husbands and some good old seventies satanic panic.

A return to casting (spells and pods alike) and a return to the roots that may have had a hand in making us wyrd - horror films watched way too early in our tender youth. Do you recall a time before morbid curiosity took hold, dear listener? We do - sort of. Thank you, questionable parenting skills, for your hand in shaping our deranged coven. This week Lacey, Tay and Laura bring you a restorative brew of whacked-out film lore - from actual on-screen deaths to the horrifying inspiration behind iconic 90s slashers.

We’re back! Thank you for your patience and a thousand blessings upon your house. Now, pour yourself a delightful glass of curdled milk or blood (we won’t judge) and heed these warnings three! A South African sex pest, a beautiful murder bird wife, or a maniac with a hook for a hand might be lurking around the next corner! We’re talking boogeymen this week. Intruders that go bump in the night, judge your messy house, and then force-feed you baby food. A little lost? You’ll just have to listen. Segments: The Tikolosh, Schnabelperchten, and Cropsey with a Willem DaFoe appreciation interlude.

Content Warnings: Discussions of rape, gore, violence against children, violence against disabled peoples, kidnapping.

We are back with Secure Contain Protect round two. SCP in the secure UNIT! In this episode we bring you another three of our favourite frightening fictions from the OG online creative collective. Featuring SCP 2086, SCP 1875, and SCP 294. As always, we provide plenty of anecdotes to further enforce why the three of us may need special containment ourselves. Highlights include: the best drink known to man (spoilers, it's L&P), the first Wyrd Sisters discovered SCP: Tim Curry Teapot, and the fractured friendship of Lacey and Tay (will they learn to love again?). 

Content Warnings: Child death, abduction, mentions of food, mentions of alcohol
