    Episode 80: Imbolc - Groundhogs, Goddesses, and the First Hint of Spring

    As winter loosens its grip, we explore two traditions that mark the turning of the season: the ancient Celtic festival of Imbolc and the quirky North American ritual of Groundhog Day. From Brigid’s sacred flames to shadow‑seeking marmots, we trace how different cultures have tried to predict—summon, even—the first stirrings of spring. This episode blends folklore, history, and a touch of whimsy as we look at why humans have always searched for signs of returning light, and what these midwinter rituals reveal about hope, renewal, and the promise of warmer days ahead.

    MICROBREW: The Tragedy of Lacey Fletcher

    In this episode, we examine one of the most haunting and heartbreaking cases of neglect in recent memory—the death of 36‑year‑old Lacey Fletcher. Found in conditions almost beyond comprehension, Lacey’s story forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about isolation, responsibility, and the systems meant to protect vulnerable people. We trace Lacey’s life from a quiet childhood in rural Louisiana to the years of seclusion that ultimately ended in tragedy. This isn’t just a story about a crime—it’s a story about silence, stigma, and the devastating consequences of looking away. With care and compassion, we piece together the timeline, the investigation, and the charges that followed, while honoring Lacey as more than the circumstances of her death. Her case is a stark reminder of the importance of community, vigilance, and humanity.

    Episode 79: Theresa Allore

    A quiet college town in Quebec, a missing teenager, and a family who refused to let her memory fade—this episode unravels the haunting case of Theresa Allore, a 19‑year‑old student whose disappearance and death in 1978 became one of Canada’s most troubling unsolved mysteries. Follow Theresa’s final weeks at Champlain College in Lennoxville, where she vanished under circumstances that never quite added up. When her body was discovered months later in a remote area, authorities quickly labeled the death a tragic accident. But her family—especially her brother, John Allore—saw too many inconsistencies, too many unanswered questions, and far too little investigative effort. The episode traces John’s decades‑long fight to uncover the truth, from poring over forgotten police files to connecting Theresa’s case with a disturbing pattern of violence against young women in the Eastern Townships. His relentless search for justice helped spark broader conversations about cold cases, victim advocacy, and systemic failures in how missing persons investigations were handled. This episode explores not only what happened to Theresa, but how her family’s determination reshaped the way Canada confronts unsolved crimes. It’s a story of loss, persistence, and the enduring power of refusing to look away. Sources: "Wish You Were Here" by John Allore & Patricia Pearson Hosted on Acast.

    MICROBREW: The Whisky War for Hans Island

    In this episode, we dive into the delightfully strange and surprisingly heartwarming tale of the Whisky War, a 50‑year territorial dispute between Canada and Denmark over the tiny, uninhabited Hans Island. What began in the 1970s as an unresolved boundary question slowly evolved into a tongue‑in‑cheek ritual: each country’s military would visit the island, remove the other’s flag, raise their own, and leave behind a bottle of national liquor—Canadian whiskey or Danish schnapps—as a cheeky calling card. The MICROBREW blends history, humor, and geopolitics—showing how a barren rock in the Arctic became a symbol of cooperation, cultural pride, and the kind of international conflict everyone wishes there were more of!  Sources: https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/can-nato-withstand-the-trump-greenland-test-10472649/ https://www.ipolitics.ca/2024/12/06/canada-to-appoint-arctic-ambassador-open-consulates-in-alaska-and-greenland-under-new-northern-policy/ https://www.canada.ca/en/global-affairs/news/2024/12/minister-joly-launches-canadas-arctic-foreign-policy.html https://globalnews.ca/news/11615647/greenland-donald-trump-nato-canada-eu-retaliation/ https://www.highnorthnews.com/en/canada-ohttps://www.coastreporter.net/national-news/security-experts-sound-alarm-for-canada-as-trump-threatens-to-take-greenland-11760757pen-consulate-nuuk-greenland Hosted on Acast.

    Episode 78: Something is Afoot on the Salish Sea...

    Since 2007, a chilling mystery has unfolded along the shores of the Salish Sea: dozens of human feet, still in sneakers, have washed ashore without explanation. In this episode, we dive deep into the phenomenon that has baffled locals and sparked global intrigue. Are these grisly discoveries the result of foul play, natural decomposition, or something even stranger? We’ll explore the science behind why feet detach, the role of ocean currents, and the theories investigators have considered. Join us as we unravel the facts, dispel myths, and examine what these severed feet reveal about the sea—and about us.

    MICROBREW: The Belmont House in Lincoln New Brunswick

    Perched along the banks of the Saint John River in Lincoln, New Brunswick, Belmont House stands as one of the region’s most intriguing landmarks—a stately neoclassical home built around 1820 for Judge John Murray Bliss, son of a Loyalist settler. Later, it became closely tied to Robert Duncan Wilmot, a Father of Confederation and Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, who lived there intermittently until his death in 1891. But beyond its political pedigree and architectural grandeur, Belmont House carries a second, darker legacy—one whispered through generations of locals. In this episode, we explore the folklore that claims the house once sheltered British troops, complete with basement holding cells, cannon rooms overlooking the river, and even a tunnel leading down to the shoreline. Residents have reported eerie voices, reappearing stains, shadowy figures in parlours, and footsteps on staircases long after the living have gone to bed. Blending documented history with lived experiences, this episode traces Belmont House’s evolution from Loyalist estate to political landmark to one of New Brunswick’s most quietly haunted homes.
