    Dark History: Thousands of Women Died in These Secret Asylums

    Dark History: Thousands of Women Died in These Secret Asylums

    Hi friends, happy almost St. Patty’s Day!

    I’ll be honest with you… it’s hard to shock me anymore. So when I tell you that this story that I found *SHOOK ME* to my core… you know it’s for real. While I was looking into lesser-known Irish history, I kept reading about these things called the Magdalene Laundries. And while something like “laundry” seems innocent enough, this story is anything but that. These Catholic Church corruption-founded facilities destroyed the lives of countless women, and justice has yet to be served–even to this day.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

    Dark History: Was this demonic 90s toy SPYING on us!?

    Dark History: Was this demonic 90s toy SPYING on us!?

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Remember Beanie Baby Mania? It was INSANE. Everyone thought these things would be worth thousands. And then outta nowhere, Furby showed up and completely changed the game, terrorizing kids and adults alike with those creepy little eyes and phrases. If you’re a 90s kid like me, chances are you had one of these iconic toys. But what if I told you the fads that had our parents duking it out in the Toys “R” Us parking lot ended up being…well, just fads?

    The Dark History of Hedy Lamarr: You can Thank this Hollywood Bombshell for Wifi

    The Dark History of Hedy Lamarr: You can Thank this Hollywood Bombshell for Wifi

    Hi friends, happy Thursday!

    Did you know the person who paved the way for the invention of Wifii was one of the most controversial actresses in Hollywood? I know. Random! Today’s episode is about the one, the only, Hedy Lamarr. It turns out, we owe Hedy A LOT. Without her advancements in film and technology, the world would be a VERY different place… She came (onscreen), she saw (war), she conquered (Hollywood). And for that, thanks, Hedy!

    The Dark History of Childbirth: We’ve been giving birth ALL WRONG

    The Dark History of Childbirth: We’ve been giving birth ALL WRONG

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Despite what some people may say, birth is not a problem that needs solving–it's a natural journey that we just need guidance to help us get through (And of course, doctors, midwives, doulas…you get it). As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how scary and borderline traumatizing childbirth can be. But not only that… how downright dangerous it is! So on that note, let’s get to it: the Dark History of Childbirth.

    The Dark History of Valentine's Day: Hate Mail, Orgies, and Animal Sacrifice??

    Hi friends, happy Valentine's Day!

    Maybe it’s all the social pressure, but personally, Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday. And I know I’m not alone in that. Sometimes it feels like Valentine’s Day is just one big scam. Like, why is there only *ONE DAY* to show people we love them? Where did all this pressure come from?! Well turns out, Valentine’s Day has a super surprising backstory…

    PROOF that the FBI targeted, tracked, and unalived Americans! | The Dark History of COINTELPRO

    PROOF that the FBI targeted, tracked, and unalived Americans! | The Dark History of COINTELPRO

    Hi friends, happy Thursday

    Welcome to the Dark History podcast. It’s no secret that the FBI has had a bad reputation for spying, sleuthing, and watchlists. But where did it all begin? At some point, the FBI went from just keeping an eye on people to actively trying to ELIMINATE them. They had their sights set on an up-and-coming inspirational leader from within a growing American movement, and they would do whatever it took to take them down. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the dark waters of… COINTELPRO.

Love this

I love Bailey! While Murder Mysteries and Make Up is t my thing, I loved her humor in the bits I saw. Dark history is 100% my thing and Bailey, Paul, and Joan are brilliant 🎉

Moohaha!:) ,

Would love to hear

I learned a lot about old mental asylums in the US as part of my ABA training, I would love to hear an episode on them things got pretty dark. Love the pod, always tuning in to hear that old hot gossip.

kayedm ,

Thank Goodness for Bailey!

Dark History makes complex subjects easy to understand and relate to. I love learning new things and hearing the show’s take on things I’m familiar with. Fun, funny, and informative.
