    Episode 49- The Branch Davidians And Waco Part 3- The Siege

    Join us as Jon tells Sam the “denouement” of the story of the Branch Davidians as led by David Koresh. We try and be balanced, talk a scary amount of guns and feel sad about all the death. Also: loads of totally chill things, some hot takes, and the ghosts of protests past.

    Halloween Special - Nuwaubianism

    Halloween Special - Nuwaubianism

    Join us for our spoooooky Halloweeeeen special, as Sam tells Jon the story of the Nuwaubian Nation of Moor. Including many lists of names, and beliefs that take more strange turns than you could imagine… What could be spooookier than Egyptology?!
    Also, Jon pitches some TV shows, insane amounts of money and giant Ankhs- and I promise there’s a vampire connection somewhere.

    CW: Child sex abuse, rape (not graphic, in episode warnings.)
    P.S the very few background sounds are a lovely dog.

    “One of us will say something very funny soon”
    Join us for the second part of this mini series as Jon tells Sam the curious tale of how a working class Texan becomes the prophet of a doomsday cult. Including visits from Angels, yet another Jesus and we chat about just how these things metamorphose.
    Also, (as you expect) lots of voices, some bad accents, some bad singing and we ask- will Sam convert? (No)

    CW: Strong language, child sex abuse, abuse of a corpse, mention of pregnancy loss, ableist and racist slurs.

    Episode 47- The Branch Davidians And Waco Part 1

    Episode 47- The Branch Davidians & Waco Part 1
    Join us as Jon tells Sam the history and origins of the Branch Davidians, leading up to their last leader (spoilers!)- including some top tips for predicting the return of Jesus Christ, a cult leader bingo and dense biblical referencing.
    Also, trying to apply logic to biblical beasts, some singing and accents, we start some rumours and we find out that maybe Jon is the new Jesus??
    Thanks to Matt for our new Artwork!

What a lovely podcast(:

I stumbled across this podcast recently and can’t stop listening. The hosts are wonderful storytellers who do great research! They have such light and fun banter that is a pleasure to listen to. I appreciate the combination of fun jokes as well as genuine care for victims as they tell the story.
Keep it going you guys are doing great!

Too much banter

Love you

One of my favorite podcasts. I’m catching up on all of the older episodes as well and I laugh out loud at least once in each episode but I’ve also learned a lot. Their research is very well done.
