    The Sodder Children S2 Ep.042

    On Christmas Eve, 1945, tragedy struck the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia, when a fire destroyed their house. Five of the Sodder children were believed to have died in the blaze—but what happened afterward would turn the case into one of America's most enduring mysteries. The family never accepted the official explanation that the children had simply perished in the fire. Questions surrounding the lack of recovered remains, reports of suspicious activity around the home, a telephone line that had been cut, and strange events surrounding the fire fueled decades of speculation. The Sodders eventually placed a billboard along a highway asking whether their missing children were still alive, keeping their search in the public eye for years. In this episode of That’s Effin Weird, we dig into the timeline of the Christmas Eve fire, the investigation, the evidence that raised questions, and the theories that developed around the children's disappearance. Were the children victims of a tragic fire, or was something much more mysterious happening that night? Decades later, the Sodder children remain at the center of one of America's strangest missing-person mysteries. What do you think happened to the Sodder children?

    Gary Webb S2 Ep.41

    In this compelling episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson explores the life and legacy of investigative journalist Gary Webb, whose reporting sparked one of the most controversial media stories of the 1990s. Best known for his Dark Alliance series, Webb investigated allegations that individuals connected to the CIA-backed Contra movement in Nicaragua played a role in the spread of crack cocaine in the United States. His work ignited national debate, drew widespread criticism from major news organizations, and fueled ongoing discussions about government oversight, investigative journalism, and public trust. Join Stevenson as he examines the evidence behind Webb's reporting, the intense backlash that followed, and the lasting impact his work had on journalism and conspiracy culture. We'll discuss what subsequent government investigations concluded, why the story remains controversial decades later, and how Gary Webb's career—and tragic death in 2004—continue to inspire questions about accountability, the role of the press, and the pursuit of difficult stories. Whether you're interested in investigative reporting, modern history, or enduring mysteries, this episode takes a balanced look at one of journalism's most debated figures and invites listeners to examine the facts and decide for themselves.

    Father's of Inventions S2 Ep.036

    Have you ever stopped to wonder what life would be like without a vacuum cleaner, a phone, a coffee filter, a fire extinguisher, or even an LED light bulb? In this hilarious episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson dives into some of the everyday inventions we completely take for granted and asks the important questions: How did people survive before them? And why does life sound absolutely terrible without them? We'll explore the invention of the vacuum cleaner, because apparently people once had to beat dust out of rugs like they were settling a personal grudge. We'll look at the telephone, back when getting a message to someone could involve a horse, a letter, and a whole lot of patience. Then there's the coffee filter, the unsung hero preventing millions of people from accidentally chewing their morning coffee. We'll also discuss the fire extinguisher, which is one of those inventions you never think about until something is on fire and suddenly it's the most important object in the room. And finally, we'll shine a light on the LED bulb, a tiny miracle that lets us see at night without burning through enough electricity to power a small country. Join Stevenson as he uncovers the weird stories behind these inventions, the strange problems they solved, and the chaotic world people lived in before they existed.

    Criminal Psyche S2 Ep.035

    In this thought-provoking episode of That's Effin Weird, host Stevenson explores one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in psychology and criminology: can early childhood experiences influence whether someone becomes a criminal later in life? From brain development during infancy to the impact of neglect, abuse, trauma, and unstable home environments, we examine how the earliest years of life may leave lasting marks on behavior and decision-making. Stevenson dives into real-world research surrounding childhood development, impulse control, empathy, emotional regulation, and the science behind how the young brain forms. The episode also explores warning signs that experts have identified and why some children who experience severe adversity go on to lead productive lives while others take a darker path. Is criminal behavior the result of biology, environment, personal choice, or a combination of all three?
