Easy Bake Coven

Send a text We’ll give you a hint : it rhymes with batholic and ends with church… We’re not gonna sugarcoat it, Coven. This week’s episode is anything but lite. But sometimes we have to share the hard things in the hopes of making change. In 1969, Sister Cathy Cesnik was found murdered, her body dumped on a hillside, hidden in snow. The case went cold for years, until students from Archbishop Keou...

Send a text Coven, this episode may be the spookiest hour of all... Our pubic lands are under attack! This week we decided to highlight some of our favorite places in our nation's gorgeous vast wilderness. And what better way to remind us how precious these places are than to hear about the strangest and spookiest things you can expect (hope?) to encounter in our national forests and BLM land...

Send a text Dearest coven, this week has been a bit of a doozy. But we remain unwavering in our dedication to bringing laughs even among the tears. In this week's episode, we get political and bring our hot takes regarding the real life handmaid's tale scenario playing out in a Georgia hospital room. We'll talk about some dark Irish history. And then we'll do a swift 180, and t...

Send a text In May 1989, an anonymous whistleblower appeared on a Las Vegas news show, interviewed by journalist George Knapp. The claims shared by "Dennis" (as he was called on the show) were pretty remarkable. He claimed that he had worked for the government on a top secret program located in the desert near Area 51. He said that the government had 9 extraterrestrial crafts that scient...

Send a text Ya’ll, the biggest news of the week is that we started a Patreon! You asked how to support us, and baby, we answered! Now it’s in your hands to choose which tier you’ll join. Speaking of hands, this week we use ours to let the tarot doing the talking. Dear listener Terri learns that community can be found over a plate of tagliatelle, and we learn that Halee should be a professional tar...

Send a text With bodies popping up all over the Eastern Seaboard, people are starting to question, is there a New England serial killer? And more importantly, is it Taylor Swift? The police aren’t releasing many clues, apart from “no signs of foul play,” but a leg found in an affluent neighborhood and bodies floating down rivers would beg to differ. Still, foul play does not a serial killer make....

Send a text Coven, we've been trying for the past few years to carve out our niche in the heavily populated podcast world, and we think we've finally found it. Over and over again we find ourselves bringing you the latest news on three of the most important contemporary topics: Bigfoot, AI, and creepy clowns. This week is no exception as we discuss a compelling sasquatch sighting, all th...

Send a text On June 4th, 2010, 7 year old Kyron Horman was excited to present his project on red-eyed tree frogs at his elementary school's science fair. His step-mom Terri drove him to school, browsed the fair with him, snapped a photo of him next to his poster, and then said goodbye. She watched him turn around and walk down the hallway towards his classroom, and then she left. That would b...

Send a text What a whirlwind this week, folks! We may be entering our EBC Lite era, but this latest news update is anything but! We're living vicariously through scientists uncovering the new color olo, we're getting updates about the other Don in our lives (who's also a clown, literally) and we're getting hung up on news from Rome. (Hint, it's not about the Pope.) We&apos...

Send a text In 1900, 20 miles off the coast, one of Scotland's greatest mysteries unfolded on the Flannan Isles. Its lighthouse, finished just one year earlier, failed to turn on. For days it remained dark, and when a ship came to relieve the island's keepers, they found the island deserted. All three lighthouse keepers had vanished into thin air, leaving little to no clues. Was it a rog...

Send a text Coven, are you avoiding the news for fear of emotional overwhelm and turmoil? Are you attempting to limit screen time to manage anxiety and stress? Fear not, for we have just the episode for you. Let our voices soothe you and our flagrant disregard for conventionally accepted pronunciations distract you from your woes, if only for a little while. Even more, we'll update you on the...

Send a text In the summer of 1969, strange things started happening on Lake Worth, outside of Forth Worth, Texas. There were whispers of an odd creature- described as part man, part fish, and part goat- being spotted in a local nature preserve. What started out as an outlandish rumor became front-page news on July 10, 1969, when the creature jumped on the hood of a car and disappeared into the for...

Send a text There’s an abundance of weird in the news this week, Coven! From Bigfoot sightings in Colorado to missing men in Alaska, this week’s tea is Piping Hot! There’s new evidence in the disappearance of Maura Murray, a missing person’s body is found in a treehouse, and a husband tried to push his wife off a cliff but ghosts maybe saved her? TBD. Of course we’ll talk about the reincarnated di...

Send a text Last week, we toured the haunted streets of London's Whitechapel district and explored the hunting grounds of the world's most mysterious serial killer - Jack the Ripper. Since 1888, his identity has remained a mystery, with authors and self-proclaimed "Ripperologists" claiming they have all the answers. This week, we'll dig in to theories old and new and highl...

Send a text In the summer of 1888, the streets of London were a bleak affair. The working class were desperate, thunderstorms ravaged the streets and in the early morning hours, a devil was terrorizing the sex workers of Whitechapel. Arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper would claim the lives of five women, mangling their bodies in the streets and then seemingly dis...

Send a text Coven, there has been so much happening in the news, and we have been waiting patiently to cover it! The recurring theme this week seems to be 'things we'd love to watch a TV show about' - from a meltdown happening at an Antarctic research base, to an exorcism at 30,000 feet, there's plenty to discuss. We'll talk about the mysterious circumstances around Gene H...

Send a text Last week, we joined the Donner Party on the first half of their journey from Missouri to California. When we last left them, they were camped out by Truckee Lake in the Sierra Nevadas, and snow began falling on their camp. The group could not know then what that snowfall meant, and the sad fate that would await them in the coming months. In the final installment of our Donner Party se...

Send a text In the spring of 1846, over 500 covered wagons set off from Independence, Missouri, headed West towards a new life. They could not fathom the difficulties and harsh conditions they would encounter along their journey, and this was especially true for one group of pioneers, now infamously known as the Donner Party. Most have heard salacious headlines outlining the gruesome atrocities co...

Send a text It's Valentine's Day, coven! And nothing says true love like a woman saving herself from her abuser. The story of Lorena Bobbitt is a muddled one, evoking images of an angry, jealous woman who exacted her revenge by cutting off her husband's penis. The true story, however, is much more sinister. John Wayne Bobbitt, while quite simple-minded, was anything but innocent. In...

Send a text What a week it's been, y'all. Tonight's episode focuses on mental respite in the form of laughter, and we invite you to escape from the real world for just a moment and join us for silliness... and maybe too much wine. This week we cover all manner of ridiculous news, from sasquatch hunts tearing apart marriages (surprisingly neither of ours), to finding out just what ha...

Send a text Coven, you've heard us share our constant worry that we're both dangerously susceptible to joining a cult. This week, we're really putting our strong will to the test as we cover arguably the coolest cult we've ever heard of. It's got the first female truck driver in Brazilian history, it's got aliens, it's got astral projection, it's got super r...

Send a text There’s no shortage of disappointments this week, but perhaps none so great as the realization that one woman was not, in fact, dating Brad Pitt. An $855k disappointment to be exact. And then there’s the gal who was reported dead while she was still very much alive, a man whose face was set ablaze during surgery and a train full of anti-tank missiles delivered to our favorite Swedish f...

Send a text In July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong’s steps would go down in history as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets,...

Send a text Folks, it's been a minute since we've had a news update, and the weird and wonderful stories have been piling up! This week we'll talk about the search for Sasquatch ending in tragedy in the PNW and success in the midwest. We'll briefly become a film podcast, and give you our hottest takes on new releases. We'll  update you on the Asparamancer's 2025 predi...

Send a text Happy New Year, coven! We're starting 2025 off with a bang (Lisey wishes) as we continue our ongoing cryptid series and cover Louisiana's Honey Island Swamp Monster. This one is a real treat, as we dig up firsthand accounts of sightings of this elusive creature. First spotted in the 50s and 60s, he rose to local fame in the early 70s. But has he really been seen for centuries...
