Muriel's Murders

1930s feminism, old timey adoption ethics, extreme classism, a respected woman way ahead of her time going hard in the paint with some batshit theories, a professional violinist and a carnival man. Muriel can't believe it took her this long to finally cover this case, but here it is. RIP Rita.

The Milwaukee Police were up to some pretty drastic stuff in the early 80s, and Laurie Bembenek wanted in the boys club. Rampant partying, racism, misogyny, nachos, disco, wild jack off parties in broad daylight, boozing, some friendly fire, some not so friendly brutality, and tons of sexy hooking up. According to stats, Milwaukee had one of the lowest crime rates in the country. This story digs i...

Pure intrigue! Tension! Behind the scenes of Hitchcock's masterpiece film "The Birds!" Sadistic "pranks!" Terrible senses of "humor!" And the best part... (for Nick)...? No murder! Is this actually a true crime story? Kinda sorta, but it's true Muriel's Murders, that's for sure. Listening on Spotify? Leave a comment below, we'll write back and shou...

Stingbean Akeman is an absolute bango-playing, Hee Haw comedy legend. He was a beloved innovator at the Grand Ole Opry, beast on the baseball field and loved stashing cash. He married Estelle who cruised around in brand new Cadillacs, never bothered living with indoor plumbing and also loved stashing cash. These two love birds were brutally, tragically taken from this Earthly existence by a tiny c...

...and her remarkable survival! This is only the second episode that made Nick tear up a lil bit. This young woman was so brave and her story is uplifting even though she was buried alive.

Harvard in the 1800s was jammed full of dead bodies. But all the professors there were "doctors" and "gentlemen" and there's no way any of them would murder someone and try to hide the evidence amongst all the "science." This is old timey mania in its full glory, so hold onto your butts in accordance with the scriptures. Part 1 of 2. Requested by Bill! Thanks man!...

Maurice and Maralyn Bailey were great adventurers and excellent sailors. Could that save them from a big ass whale that wanted to sink their yacht? Did they survive 117 or 118 days out at sea on a little ass raft? Did Muriel choose this episode specifically because Nick is deeply terrified of whales? Damn, these are some good questions and you'll just have to tune in to find the answers. RIP a...
