    EP 120: “Not a Ranger, But….” — More Reasons to Stay Out of the Woods

    We’re sharing Reddit's creepiest "Not a Ranger, But..." forest encounters. These search-and-rescue stories prove that humans—not monsters—are the woods' true terror. Anyone surprised? (Not us.) We cover bowhunters stumbling on meth labs disguised as campsites, kids vanishing mid-hunt only to reappear mud-soaked with zero memory, and rangers chasing "wolves" that lead to hidden bodies.​ We laugh-cry through trail cam blunders, time-loss blackouts, and "fuzzy figures" haunting family hikes. This episode hammers home why we never stray off-trail without backup.​ “That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.” Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled. Known for their mix of research-driven storytelling and unfiltered commentary, Gen and Kait tackle true crime cases (and paranormal rabbit holes) with empathy, curiosity, and a healthy dose of dark humor. 📲 Instagram: @campingiscanceled 📲 TikTok: @campingiscanceled 📧 Contact: campingiscanceled@gmail.com 🎧 Listen now — everywhere you get your podcasts.

    EP 119: The 1979 Mainline Murders — The Reinerts Disappear (Part I)

    In 1979, a devoted mom, Susan Reinert, and her kids, Karen (12) and Michael (10), vanished after a routine Cub Scout pickup—only for Sue’s brutalized body to turn up crammed in her car’s wheel well days later. By all accounts, Sue seemed to be living the all-American life. In this episode, we dive into her relationship with her college-sweetheart-turned-ex-husband, Ken, and the events leading up to her disappearance and murder. We truly can’t get over how badly this investigation was fumbled. This Pennsylvania nightmare—inspired a book and TV movie—stays unsolved 46 years later. “That’s Genevieve.

  3. EP 118: BLIND READ — “The Untold Story of Silk Road” (Part III)

    EP 118: BLIND READ — “The Untold Story of Silk Road” (Part III)

    EP 118 wraps up our three-part Silk Road Blind Read. Silk Road was a secret, dark website that sold drugs like an online eBay, run by a mystery boss called DPR (Dread Pirate Roberts). In this finale, FBI agent Tarbell travels to Iceland to raid a data center and grab Silk Road's hidden server after spotting a leaked IP address.​ We yell through DPR's growing fear from his diary, his sloppy security mistakes (like ignoring server alerts), and agent Force's dangerous undercover work as "Nob," whom DPR has grown to trust a bit too much: he starts chatting about murder on forums. The tension peaks as DPR unravels: feds show up at Ross Ulbricht's San Francisco door, Force risks it all in secret talks, and agents rebuild the site to spy inside, revealing DPR's beginner code and $7M yearly earnings.​ This episode covers the big arrest: Silk Road's hidden tech fails, DPR's ego trips him up, and his secret double life crashes down. It’s a wild ride—with a twist ending. “That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.” Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.

    EP 117: BLIND READ — “The Untold Story of Silk Road” (Part II)

    Silk Road's paranoia escalates as the feds close in. DPR casually prices out a hit on a flipped insider while his undercover handler Force stages a brutal (fake) bathtub torture for the sting. What was once a libertarian dream has morphed into a dark web nightmare. As far as blind reads go, this one truly had us on the edge of our seats. We couldn’t look away as Silk Road’s empire crumbled from the inside. “That’s Genevieve.

    EP 116: BLIND READ — “The Untold Story of Silk Road” (Part I)

    We're kicking off the Silk Road series—a massive dark web drug market run by a mysterious boss called DPR. We start with Curtis Green, a Utah grandpa and pain pill user who worked customer service for the site, getting raided by SWAT while covered in cocaine powder from a fake package (his tiny chihuahuas go wild).​ Then we flashback to Ross Ulbricht: a smart former Eagle Scout and physics student who drops out, experiments with psychedelics, discovers Bitcoin, and secretly builds Silk Road from his laptop—a hidden online "eBay" for drugs using anonymous Tor tech. We review his early struggles: coding the site solo, dodging hackers, lying to friends/girlfriends about his "Bitcoin startup," and growing it into a $1B+ sales empire.​ This episode covers Silk Road's wild rise—DPR's rules (no child porn or fakes, but anything else goes), Bitcoin enabling global drug sales, and feds scrambling to catch him.

    EP 115: That Lamp Looks Weird — Bizarre Stories of Parallel Lives

    We’re exploring parallel lives. Like, souls splitting across timelines, Horcrux-style oversouls living multiple earthly lives at once. We break down four wild theories from Reddit deep dives, from quantum jumping to realms where your higher self lives an entire life while your body lies stationary on Earth.​ If you’ve ever felt déjà vu hit different or met a “soul family” stranger, these tales will have you side-eyeing your furniture. We debate carbon monoxide vs. cosmic weirdness, because sometimes the scariest parallel is the one staring back from your own life. “That’s Genevieve.

    EP 114: BLIND READ — "True Crime" by David Grann (Part II)

    This episode drops the hammer on David Grann’s “True Crime” Blind Read, picking up mid-book with Bala’s sadistic, philosophy-fueled torture porn that’s less “literature” and more “confession disguised as art.” We unpack Amok’s noose-tightened murders, “white gloves of silence,” and Bala’s smug insistence that it’s all just postmodern wordplay—while detective Wroblewski turns his squad into literary sleuths, assigning chapters like it’s homework from hell.​ This finale is a masterclass in how a “perfect crime” meets its match in dogged facts over slippery philosophy. If you love seeing pretentious creeps get cornered by their own words, don’t miss the payoff. “That’s Genevieve.

    JAN 16

    BLIND READ — "True Crime" by David Grann (Part I)

    David Grann’s 2008 New Yorker masterpiece “True Crime” is a Polish whodunit that starts with a strangled woman and ends in a courtroom where fiction and murder collide. We dive into the case of Jacek Wroblewski, a cop turned amateur detective who becomes obsessed with a violent novel by a smug philosophy bro named Krystian Bala, convinced its twisted details mirror an unsolved killing.​ What unfolds is pure mind-melt: Bala’s pretentious Nietzsche obsession, his internet auction site bragging, and a story so meta it blurs the line between art and confession—leaving us gasping, theorizing, and questioning every “sophisticated fiction” excuse along the way. Bala comes off as the ultimate insufferable smart guy who thinks he’s above consequence, but as the clues stack up, we can’t stop asking if Wroblewski’s hunch is genius or madness.​ This one’s for anyone who loves a literary rabbit hole that turns into a real-life nightmare. How far will someone go to prove “it was just a book?” “That’s Genevieve. And that’s Kaitlyn.” Sisters-in-law, best friends, former CNAs, and the sharp-witted duo behind Camping Is Canceled.
