If you partake in or consume any form of hip-hop get schooled here by your two faves talking about the hottest New York summer and how Christmas came early to almost everyone in the city! If we’re lying— may we get struck...

Did you ask for an unexpected special episode? I think you did!! Justine Lemaire is our special guest this week, hailing from Paris to bring us the peak of French music drama and just... french in general. She talks about Bertrand Contat and the scandals surrounding his personal life in the early 2000s and 2010s. There’s no better time to bring back the concept of public shame than in a room with...

One last spooky solo story to make you wish you didn’t press play, or quite possibly the best haunted tale you have yet to hear!! Clarisse brings the last of our Halloween stories this year with a doozy: the most haunted music venue in America... Bobby Mackey’s. There is no shortage of crime history and paranormal activity here-- including, quite possibly, some of the scariest rocks you’ll ever en...

All aboard the SSS Lyssa this week (spooky solo story DUH) and batten down the hatches for another series of cursed songs within the realm of classical music-- which is the most terrifying as we all know! JK, but not really-- these three pieces haunted their composers as well as those that surrounded the production and performances of each one, there are even some speculations of related deaths th...

We miss the people we were before we shared this story on the air and maybe you will too. Clarisse’s Spooky Solo Story this week is nothing short of conspiracy, fraud, murder, medical torture devices, explosions, and haunted venues-- specifically the Roseland Theatre in Portland, Oregon and its familiarity with the crime world. Nothing good has ever come out of a story with a “Scary Larry” charact...

It’s officially BER SEASON, spiky plants and tumbleweeds and all! But mostly, we are here celebrating October in the best way we know how to-- scary song stories to haunt your nightmares! Sorry, that was a little intense but not as bad as Alyssa’s solo story this week: the murder of Elyse Pahler. The thrash metal band, Slayer, is brought into this mix exactly how you might think, while the satanic...

It’s September... which means it’s the perfect time to officially start the spooky season! Clarisse brings the history behind Metallica’s 1996 song, “Ronnie,” and how it inspired murder in a small town. But don’t worry, your favorite rock band isn’t ruined just yet, even though you might want to crawl back into a hole after this. Do you smell the fall leaves in the air? The apple pies? The sweat d...

She said, he said, we said it’s time for episode 61!! Alyssa is taking on a solo episode to talk about the mysterious and slightly cold case murder of Chalino Sánchez, the Godfather of Narcocorridos. This one is a bit of a spooky story to get y’all warmed up for the upcoming fall season, and if this doesn’t get those gears going our recent music news updates might...

Another episode milestone calls for an incredible punk rock icon feature! For our 60th episode, Clarisse brings the story of punk vocalist, Laura Jane Grace, whose adolescent years were no stranger to police brutality and prejudice. Follow along for a frustrating, exciting, and uplifting timeline of events that have shaped this vocalist’s life and positive impact on the punk movement and transgend...

This week Alyssa tackles a solo episode about The Mommas and The Papas member, John Phillips. All the leaves are brown and the skies... are gray and it’s ALL because of this man. This episode has a lot of complicated twists and turns and even Oprah can’t eloquently handle a story like this. We promise the happy ending is worth waiting for, leave it up to the ladies to turn something terrible into...

It’s Leo season and it’s about time we had a Leo talking about another Leo doing some pretty Leo things… like egging your ex’s house or playing the saxophone—DUH. Clarisse takes on the story of King Curtis and his woodwind legacy cut short by his unexpected and tragic murder. August is turning up our AC so it’s only fair we bring the heat this episode!

Sorry not sorry for the most biased episode since we’ve been speaking into your headphones. If there are no haters left in the world it means that this solo episode never happened. Here’s all and none of the details you’ve been waiting to hear about Chris Brown. Talks of data mining and unassuming fashion will be mentioned so grab your bucket hat and protect your opinionated brain matter!

If your dad is too busy making a sandwich to answer your Facetime calls, this episode happens to be the perfect thing to listen to while you wait!

Originally thought of as "the quiet Beatle", Harrison is sure to surprise you in more ways than one! Not that you need anothe...

When you got worms in your tummy you just gotta let it out, when you have vampire friends you just gotta let people know, and when you have nothing better to do you just gotta listen to us talk about legal things like we went to law school. Welcome back to our latest episode of Copyright Corner where Alyssa talks about Warner Chappell Music vs Nealy and Clarisse discusses the 1983 case of Selle vs...

Listen up you freaks, you better work on your running form before diving into this episode, otherwise, you might get caught for all your misdeeds! Just kidding (but not really). Clarisse and Lyssa get back into it with two stories this week and both are sure to make you stay on the edge of your seat. Clarisse talks about producer/ radio/talk show host, Johnathan King, and Lyssa brings the solved c...

Gas stations and bad impressions and momentous moments and you’re listening to our podcast! Alyssa talks about the life and tragic death of the princess of R&B, Aaliyah. Supposedly this is going to be one of the supposedly hottest episodes to date, supposedly, so don’t miss out!!

Can you walk the walk and talk the talk AND talk the walk? Well no one can do it better than our special guests this week: composer and friend, Kevin Robles, and returning pal, Zach Olson! It’s been a long time coming with Kevin’s topic of choice: the arrest of Lamb of God lead vocalist, Randy Blythe. We are getting into the grit and flipping off the camera with these two metal head co-hosts, no p...

Now that we are up and over the hill we are setting the tone with a doozy this week, and no, we are not talking about the swarm in Clarisse’s house (you’ll get it). BUT instead, Clarisse fires away with a story about the attempted murder of Mick Jagger gone wrong, and why bikers shouldn’t mess with water transportation. Sink or swim, we’re rocking the boat this week!

It’s Britney Bitch on our 50th Episode Bitch!!! To celebrate this milestone, Clarisse and Alyssa have made their own little book club to discuss all the ins and outs of Britney Spears’ 2023 memoir, “ The Woman In Me.” Get ready for a lot of passionate yelling and ranting... but that’s not anything new. We love you freaks and thanks for listening <3

Love thy neighbor, love thy lock, love listening to the episode this week! Clarisse might kill a small Victorian child with her solo story about the attempted robbery and murder of Joss Stone... but don’t worry there are no sad endings! Talks of spring cleaning and sitting too close to a screen might be scattered in there too-- you know, nothing too out of the blue.

Grab your Tums, Benadryl, and cryptozoology books and head over to this week’s chaotic episode! Alyssa takes over to talk about the commonly not-common contract clause: the death clause, and how it plays out in music contracts and within some of the topics we’ve already covered. This rabbit hole is one you’ll wanna follow us down (and there is no other hole option sorry).

It’s you, us, butt tattoos, AND Jesus tattoos, oh, and this episode. This week Clarisse talks about the arrest of Christian metalcore vocalist Tim Lambesis and a hit-for-hire gone wrong. We guarantee you’ll feel better about your high school superlatives and impulsive body art choices after this one.

And we are back ladies!! Dust off all your rust and get ready to get back into the swing of things this week. Lyssa takes over this episode to talk about the life and tragic death of Elliot Smith. Internet sleuthing is out and armchair detectives are in.

We have decided to start the year anew, and to help us forget about January we have a very special guest, Sophie Potrykus!! It’s been a long time comin’ but she has finally brought us the news-breaking headline story of The Chicks and the Bush Administration in the early 2000’s. Nothing says American pride like country music, foreign soil betrayals, and fan fiction. Would you be surprised to find...
