    Blood and Salt: Joan of Flanders & the Lioness of Brittany

    In this episode of Low Expectations, we dive into the untold stories of two of medieval Europe’s fiercest women: Joan of Flanders, the indomitable Duchess who defended Hennebont with fire and steel, and Jeanne de Clisson, the infamous Lioness of Brittany who turned pirate queen after her husband’s execution. Both widows, both warriors, and both driven by vengeance, these women carved their names into history through defiance, bloodshed, and unrelenting survival.

    The House That Held Its Breathe: Villisca Axe Murders

    In this chilling episode of Low Expectations, we step inside the quiet, creaking walls of a house frozen in time. On the night of June 9th, 1912, the small town of Villisca, Iowa was shattered by a brutal and still-unsolved crime: the savage axe murder of eight people—two adults, six children—all slaughtered in their sleep.

    In this disturbing deep dive, we take you into the dark heart of one of the most horrific cults you’ve (probably) never heard of — The Ant Hill Kids.
