    S2E18 John Geoghan

    Midterms are quickly approaching. Have you voted yet? I filled out my ballot the other day and took it to a ballot drop box. I'm not taking any chances of some USPS shenanigans in this administration. I talk about PACs and how their names can be dishonest. A little talk about Nicki Minaj and how she has gone full on MAGA crazy, complete with the hypocrisy that comes with it. Then I dive into the case of John Geoghan. A pedo priest that was one of the first to make the headlines.

    S2E17 The Previously Unsolved Death of Candy Rogers

    A little politics talk, a little work talk and then heading back to my hometown for another murder case. This one is the murder of Candice Rogers that wasn't solved for over 60 years.

    S2E16 The Life and Crimes of Jim Bakker

    A recap of the TerrorVault in San Francisco before talking Bay Area traffic and national politics. Then I delve into the life of Jim Bakker.

    S2E15 The Death of Matthew Shepard

    A political scandal, what else is new? Also a failed execution of a murderer convicted for a horrendous crime. I discuss that before telling the story of Matthew Shepard, a victim of a horrible hate crime that had a profound effect on me as well as the entire nation.

    S2E14 The Death of Madalyn Murray O'Hair

    I begin the episode talking about my deconversion from Christian to Atheist. Then I talk about the life and murder of Madalyn Murray O'Hair. A controversial figure, for sure, but not deserving of her tragic end.

    S2E13 The Greetings from Nowhere Crossover

    This episode is the audio from the Greetings from Nowhere/Shameful Nature crossover live episode from YouTube. It was originally broadcast on the GFN YouTube page at https://youtube.com/@nowherestaff?si=6xthGMitPCysAsJQ. We talk about quite a few topics that have been hitting the news lately. BTW, my lisp is working overtime in this episode. I'm wondering if it's cause I use a homemade pop filter normally. But I didn't want that ugly thing on camera so didn't use it. I've since bought a professional looking one for next time. But damn, even after almost a year, I still hate the sound of my own voice.
