    S04E34 - The Murder that Inspired Twin Peaks
    May 26 2025
    Jerry Drake returns to discuss his new book:
    Hazel was a Good Girl: The Murder that Inspired Twin Peaks

    Jerry has been with quite a few times to discuss Grimoires, Jack Parsons, The Hollow Earth, Internet Mysteries and Ghost Lights and we're excited to see what he makes of this real life unsolved murder with ties to one of the most influential shows to ever air on TV.

    This episode does discuss murder, sexual assault, and other sensitive topics. It's not really explicit but it might not be suitable for children, hence the tag.

    S04E30 Dinos & Dragons - Part 2
    Apr 28 2025
    This is part two of our two part look at Dragons and how these mythical beasts are being used to promote Creationism. Our guest is Dr. Philip Senter and he's the author of a new book about this topic. We use the word bullsh!t a lot in this episode so I slapped an explicit tag on - but I don't think it's too explicit otherwise.
