    36: Heists (I'm sad. You up?)

    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 s***s 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.  Visit www.wyrdsisterspodcast.com for all the extras.  Content Warnings: Brief mention of rape and suicide. The Wyrd Sisters Podcast is written, recorded, and produced on Wurundjeri land. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land: the peoples of the Kulin Nation and pay our respect to their elders past, present, and emerging.

    35: Curious Critters (Crack For Kids)

    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.

    34: Lacey's Mystery History Hour (What's Your Body Count?)

    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.  Visit www.wyrdsisterspodcast.com for all the extras.

    33: F***ed Film Facts (Banjo String Betrayal)

    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.  Visit www.wyrdsisterspodcast.com for all the extras.

    32: Boogeymen (The Girl Who Cried Tikolosh)

    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.

    31: SCP 2.0 (The Friendship Breaker)

    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 SCP 2086 is written by Morgiepie SCP 1875 is written by TheMadStork SCP 294 is written by far2

    30: Bodies of Water (and in the water) A.K.A Oceans 2.0

    Dirty, dirty topic repeaters. Or are we? We had agreed on this week’s theme to be Oceans 2.0 but, it’s more Oceans Adjacent 1.5? We cover lakes, experimental medicine, and floating cities. Whatever kind of plan we originally had for this episode, Poseidon has it now. Join us for some solid chats covering such topics as: a haunted skeleton lake, how to become Aquaman (kind of?), and why you should not book a cruise next winter. Or ever. Visit www.wyrdsisterspodcast.com for all the extras. Intro and outro music: Halloween Creep by Bruised via Envato Market CONTENT WARNINGS: Death, descriptions of gore, burn injuries, brief discussions of suicide, human trafficking and rape, brief discussion of body weight, kidnapping, murder, medical procedure, brief descriptions of injured animals.

    29: Rotten Royals (ft. handsome 90s Christian Bale)

    Our episode this week starts with the rising of the sun (king) and ends with the waning of the moon (king). Sandwiched in the middle is a collection of botched beheadings and effed-up executions so grim you’ll be glad you’re a nobody. Episode 29 is all about Rotten Royals. Highlights include: the importance of bathing, the truth behind your favourite childhood movie, and why you should never meet your heroes. Our stories are so awful they’ll make you say “Yuck… I love it!” Content warnings: medical procedure, discussions of gore, violence involving animals, executions, death, torture, suicide, homophobia Sources: OMGfacts.com, Tidsskriftet.com, Britannica, Hekoten International Journal of Medical Humanities, Stanford healthcare.org,
