Any story has several sides, and this one is no exception. Janet Moses died at 22 from a "dry drowning," but was it a series of errors and abuses, or simply a case of cultures clashing?

But he had some latent talents that could have pulled his entire life in a different direction. Guest: Court...

131 -- Sexy Sadistic Slayer Sheila LaBarre -- with Bloody Murder 29.04.2019 1:17:46

The last time I talked about Sheila LaBarre, it was Episode 27, with the Voice of the Victim podcast. This time, it's a different style , with a lot more walruses.

My dad died on 15 April 2019, by suicide. This is a very raw and difficult recording I did in my Facebook group. The artwork was his home screen on his phone. It's by Emily, called "Hope."

128 -- Stiffened Spine -- with Ary from Murder Under the Midnight Sun 21.04.2019 1:12:07

How do you cope with pain? Now how would you cope when the pain is constant? How do you go on living your life never knowing if the pain will go away and you can get back to your "normal"?

127 -- Murderbirds from Outer Space -- with Suzy from The Casual Birder 17.04.2019 1:34:21

Birdwatching -- and listening -- is something we do more than we realize.

Eating disorders aren't about eating. They're not a choice. They're not an addiction. They're all of the above.
