Our show includes cases of notorious serial killers, lesser known murders, scandals in the death industry and animal attacks among other darker topics, and at the end of each episode, we like to close out the show with an oddity. This can be anything from medical mishaps, horrifying recreations of Weekend at Bernie’s and Mike the Headless Chicken.  And remember, on this show, we take the cases seriously, but not ourselves.

About

Each week your hosts Neil and Megan are going to bring you a new case to dissect and muse upon. Megan tells the cases, and Neil provides the comic relief when needed. Before we dive into the depths of depravity, we like to ease you in with some light chat about something that has been on our minds that week. Our show includes cases of notorious serial killers, lesser known murders, scandals in the death industry and animal attacks among other darker topics, and at the end of each episode, we like to close out the show with an oddity. This can be anything from medical mishaps, horrifying recreations of Weekend at Bernie’s and Mike the Headless Chicken.  And remember, on this show, we take the cases seriously, but not ourselves. New episodes every Wednesday.
