Adult Secrets, Truths & Horrors Podcast

But there’s never a story of how the deer lived its life before entering the path of the hunter’s bullet, right? In a sense, consumers of news and serial killers are alike. We stand by as outsiders mesmerised by the murder but give little time to examine the victim’s life. Our gazes have no time for that. Lines like: “She leaves behind a daughter”; or; “He was about to graduate as a surgeon”, tug...

Did you know that cruise ships lose a passenger a month to an overboard incident? By the time the captain is informed of the tragedy, it’s often too late to turn his ship around. The sea consumes the body and, with it, the evidence of how the passenger made it to the water in the first place. What about smaller craft, like sailing yachts? There are thousands of those transversing Earth’s oceans to...

The first time I had sex, I was a bundle of nerves and excitement. It was a classic high school scenario — a dimly lit car, a song on the radio, and two hearts racing in anticipation. As our bodies drew closer, I couldn’t help but wonder what all the fuss was about. Was it just the physical contact, the meeting of worlds, or was there something more profound hidden within that naughty, elusive mom...

Chic Chic Institute has taken out this prestigious award, a world-record fifth year in a row! Congratulations to our clinicians for making this happen. This proves that we are just more than a group of sadistic hacks performing unnecessary lobotomies on innocent civilians. To celebrate, we're offering new patients great deals for the next round of experimental lobotomies. Go directly to your neare...

Today's phones don't get slammed. They get tapped. At the most, they get poked. This may explain the poor mental health of some of us inside our community. But don't you hate not being able to smash a phone down in fury? Remember that wonderful feeling when thick plastic met thick plastic? Fury and action came together as one. It was noisy, aggressive and wonderfully final. Hanging up today is so...

When Ted Bundy was news in the 70s, or the I-95 Killer known as Gary Ray Bowles did his thing in the 90s, or even the as-yet-unidentified Smiley Face Killer in the present, spines shivered. People take notice whenever these names are mentioned. Their names are like gold. That’s because people want to know who was being killed, why they were being killed and how the victim died — so that they knew...

Pop them on, turn them up, shut out the world, and run as though you haven’t a care in the world. I run too. I’m pretty quick — and I care very much. First, I must thank you for acquiring them. I hope they work well. I’ll need them to do their job right if I’m to do mine right. Y’know, things used to be much harder than this. People like you were more aware and the quality of the headphones was lo...

Before smartphones and the Internet, I had a life on CB Radio. Yes, it was the go-to gadget of the eighties. And I could stalk anyone I liked using my CB radio — and my car. Signal strength. That’s how I did it. I’d drive around in grid patterns across the city to measure the strength of my special caller’s transmission. She’d keep on talking into her microphone, telling me all about herself and I...

That's what she tells me every day. She counts on honesty. She wants me to be honest with her at all times. Her resolve on this matter is absolute. “Don't you just hate liars, babe? Some people lie right to your face and then believe what they’re telling you. They actually believe their own lies. I mean, why do they have to lie anyway? The world would be a much better place without liars. I've no...

In 2001, the bodies of six women were found after nights of wild storms. No one stood trial for these serial crimes. Police are asking for your help to find a killer. It’s tempting to overlook this recent police request due to the passage of time that’s passed between ’01 and now. Most people believe it’s not relevant anymore, therefore there’s no reason to worry. There should be. This serial kill...

What about fantastic advancements in medicine? Mathematics? Science? Nope to all three. Mankind's existence is all about breaking things apart, chipping away at the world, one existential rock at a time. Turning big things into small things is our best performance thus far. We turn rocks into stones, stones into grains, and then grains into powders. The second best thing we do (or try to do) is to...

My daughter-in-law is an off-the-charts psycho-bitch. Everyone knows it. We don't say it aloud though. Eyes dart about a room whenever she enters it. You can feel the tension rise. Silence clears a path ahead of this cold-faced cow, who snaps at the smallest things. Her poor husband is at the mercy of her hair-trigger neurosis. Heaven forbid if he ever had a free thought develop in his brow-beaten...

Even the darkest of stories have happy endings if we know where to look for them. The trick in locating them is to skew our heads sideways because straightforward, conventional searches won’t help us. We must first allow the darkness to flow over us so it can smother out orthodoxy and open up our minds. There are millions of authors on social media who write vanilla HEA’s for traditional HEA fans....

There are flaws in simplifying DNA science through speedy storytelling. Sure, a narrative moves much faster but it also leads to misconceptions about the process. We assume so many things because of it. Discriminating one blood cell from any other cell is the real job here. There are skin cells, bacteria cells, and every other cell that floats by and gets mixed into a sample. It’s like looking for...

Staying hidden on the internet takes more than inventing an alias, browsing incognito and using someone else's face for a profile pic. Technology leaves digital footprints. The moment we log on to the 'net and start our e-devices, we've already started the process. We’re exposed and there are few ways to hide them — shows our true identity. Some of us don't want that to happen. We want to surf the...

No sex. No stimulation. Just watch. Just wash. I want to see her bathe, moving her body inside the frothy liquid while it lightly touches her skin and swirls around it. I want to enjoy it moving around her curves. When she lifts an arm, I want to see the water running off it, leaving a glossy sheen behind that turns into satin a second later. I want to see that. Her legs too. I want to see those....

Police. They are cunning. They call their kind of evil forensics . Never has there been a time when science has been so cruel to our kind. What should be a simple pedestrian-styled-kill will turn into a major investigation fast. Scrapings from underneath a corpse’s nails will reveal a perpetrator in no time. The next thing you know, you’re having to book on a plane to Mexico because some science g...

That first naughty thing that young, inexperienced adults do that turns them into experienced ones. It’s a threshold that can go one of two ways when it’s crossed. It can be bliss for some of us, but sometimes the moment isn’t perfect. In fact, sometimes we’d prefer to forget it. Unfortunately, first times like that are rule-breaking events and, therefore, they scorch our minds with a burning memo...

It's an awkward topic for some. No parent wants to hear about their baby being touched by an authority figure at their school. School is for learning purposes — and they are just children for God’s sake! “I trusted you! Leave her alone. Go find someone your own age in the real world! Creep!” There is an argument that the real world and the school world are deeply interconnected by many things incl...

Although we may not see their benefits right away, all sad endings come with happy new beginnings. Everything we are today comes from the lessons we’ve gained from the past—the good AND the bad. Here’s how I give my thanks to those past lovers of mine—the jerks included. Homesite This is a public episode.
