One fateful night in 1977, three teenagers in Massachusetts saw something they couldn't explain. Was it really the demon they all thought it was? Perhaps an extraterrestrial checking out the scenery...or maybe something even weirder.

While the title definitely sounds like we're about to pitch a sexy new series for Starz or something, there's actually a little bit more to it. This week we're diving into The Affair of the Poisons and The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, both of which are very French and also heavily feature fun women and stupidly horny men. Like most historical stories, it seems. Support Afternoonified by contrib...

Welcome to our new geology podcast! We’re discussing whether or not Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway is actually one big rock or a bunch of little rocks... oh and also a story about how a Scotsman was taken down by a big Irish baby.

Somewhere between a grunting, club-wielding dullard and Fred Flinstone lies the reality of what cavemen actually were. Despite the archaic idea of a Neanderthal living on in the minds of many, there were a lot of complexities in the lives of one of our ancient relatives and we're going to get into them and what it meant to be an archaic species of human (or what scientists theorize it was like.)

We had a few more lighthouse jokes left in us so we took them to Scotland! Only this time the weird part isn't so much what people saw on the island of Eilean Mor and more what they didn't see.

We're going to level with you... there's a lot of trivia and history about lighthouses in this episode.

What if we told you that it's possible to be called a "mad" royal for something other than starting wars and doing brutal murders? WHAT IF, and hear us out, they just built big castles, listened to classical music, and, took carriage rides in elaborate costumes?

It's good to be back and falling down rabbit holes again! This week the ladies take a look at two cases that have piqued their interest. First up, how do you lose a whole room?
