    2.14 - They Did Indeed Start the Fire

    Gen is back on her We Didn't Start the Fire train... except that this time, someone did indeed start the fire. The Woodstock festival of 1999 was one for the books. Well known artists like Willy Nelson, Kid Rock, Korn, and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers took the stages. But it wasn't their amazing performances that would make this festival go down in history. Instead, what would be remembered was the glimpse the world got into an apololyptic nightmare.

    2.13 - A Conceited Scribbler

    Another listener request alert!! This week, Maria takes on a request for one of the East Coast's most well known cryptids. Deep in the Pine Barrens of south New Jersey, and sometimes even the surrounding areas of Philadelphia, a high-pitched scream will tear through the air, letting you know that its closing in on you. Some know this wyvern-esque creature as the Leads Devil, or the Pines Devil, but perhaps it is best known as The Jersey Devil.

    2.9 - All Before Lunch

    Thanks to Tik Tok, and the ever-growing desire to fill-in the gaps of our history, more and more untold stories are becoming well known. An example of such a story is that of Yasuke: the first (known) black samurai! From anime series to video games, Yasuke's story has been told and retold many times, but audiences may not have known he was a real person. This week, Maria dives into the details about how an African body guard became a beloved confidant to a powerful feudal lord and changed Japanese history.
