    144. Side Show Gaffs and Hoaxes

    A few episodes ago, I promised we’d dive into the world of Side Show Gaffs — and today, we’re finally making good on that. It’s the perfect starting point, because many of the hoaxes and oddities we’ll explore later all trace their roots back here.A "gaff," in sideshow terminology, is a clever trick, illusion, or prop used to create an amazing attraction that isn't entirely real. It's not meant to be a malicious fraud but rather a theatrical enhancement for entertainment.

    140. The Philadelphia Poison Ring

    In this episode, we explore one of the most chilling and bizarre murder-for-hire plots in American history: the Philadelphia Poison Ring. During the Great Depression and into the early 1940s, a quiet rowhome neighborhood became the center of a deadly scheme led by Italian immigrant cousins Herman and Paul Petrillo. Behind the veil of a magical fix or insurance fraud was a criminal operation that blended superstition, arsenic, and murder for profit. We uncover how the ring manipulated Italian immigrants with promises of love spells and good fortune, only to lead many to their deaths. From poisoned dinners to bludgeonings, this episode dives deep into the Petrillos, thier accomplices, and the victims. Our featured music is from Hex Automata with the song "From the Cradle to the Rave".

    BONUS: Stanley Cup Special Deux: The Continued Curse 🏆

    In this hard-hitting hockey recap, we look back at the best and worst moments of last season, including the continuing saga of the President’s Trophy curse and the teams that just couldn’t survive the weight of being #1. We spotlight the elusive “phantom goalies,” those once-in-a-lifetime emergency backups and one-game wonders who lived the NHL dream for a fleeting moment. Then we turn the ice cold, diving into the darker side of the game: fatal and near-death injuries that shook the league, the players who faced lifetime bans, and the moments that pushed the rules—and bodies—to the limit. Finally, we skate into the history books with the most penalty-laden game ever played, complete with chaos, misconduct, and one very familiar team.
