The Freak Show

Last episode of Season 2, so you know it's gonna get freaky. Megan takes one for the team and tells the story of one of her worst nightmares. Then Lauren, once again, freaks us out about our inevitably bleak future. Thanks for a great season, freaks! See you in 2020. 

It's our anniversary episode, so we pulled out all the stops! (And teeth!) Lauren finally goes after one of Megan's biggest fears with the history of dentistry, then Megan tells us all the things they don't want you to know about pregnancy. Yeesh. 

Happy Thanksgiving, Freaks! Inspired by the holiday, Megan gives Lauren a panic attack with cruise ship disaster stories and Lauren makes Megan so mad with the tale of a Turkish serial killer. Classic Thanksgiving! 

Crack open your low-cal low-carb beer of choice and join the freaks as we talk about a covert CIA project from 50s and celebrities who don't deserve our love. Cheers, freaks! 

Whoa, what an episode. Megan ruins everything by enlightening us on the fatberg phenomenon sweeping our cities, then Lauren reminds us that Japanese culture can be pretty fucked up! 

We're talking 1960s politics and cults on this week's Freak Show. Dive into the messed up world of the Kennedy's and the much more messed up world of David Berg. 

The Freak Show's first Halloween episode is spooky as hell. We've got murders, we've got poison, we've got a cup full of scotch. Snuggle in and buckle up.

WARNING: If you are easily nauseous, a man, or our mothers, you might want to skip this one. WE MEAN IT. This week is one of the worst. Listen and Megan tells all about the Brazilian Wandering Spider and the nauseating way to treat a bite if you're in the Amazon. Then, Lauren lightens things up with some pedophilia as she talks about Mary Kay Letourneau's relationship with her 13 year-ol...

This one, you guys, is seriously a rollercoaster of an episode. First, Lauren uncovers the messed up world of NFL Cheerleading. Then Megan ruins Disney World for everyone! 

A very dramatic title for a very delightful episode. We'll be learning all about rich people problems, then we'll try to figure out what's wrong with all these sperm donor doctors. Fun! 

Today Megan's topic has all the twists and turns and unwanted sexual advances of an Old Hollywood classic. And Lauren's topic is just straight up Old Hollywood. Enjoy! 

In this episode, Lauren and Megan are either describing the plots of two wildly successful movies, or they're telling you two very real stories. Which is it? There's only one way to find out. 

It's a bad sign when the title of the episode is just two ladies' names... In a dark coincidence, Megan and Lauren both bring horrifying stories with eerie overlap. Feels like this needs to be said - we're sorry. 

Put your smarty pants on, freaks, we're getting science-y today. First, Megan blows our minds with the medical mystery of Gloria Ramirez. Then Lauren does her best to explain the good – and the scary – sides of CRISPR. 

In a real rollercoaster of an episode, Lauren bums us all out with a history lesson from the Jim Crow era, but have no fear! Megan turns it right around with a real sticky situation in old timey Boston. 

In a very fun and dark coincidence, Lauren and Megan both take us back to the 20s and 30s on a murderous adventure! First, it's Leopold and Loeb, two boys who think they're supermen (spoiler - they're not). Then, the tragic and very misremembered murder of Kitty Genovese. For real though, it's fun! 

This one's a real roller coaster! Join Lauren as she basically just talks about how rich rich people actually are (it's disgusting). Then, Megan covers the assisted suicide of Conrad Roy, a topic recently highlighted by the HBO movie "I Love You, Now Die".

It's a Friend Suggestion Show! First, Lauren takes us to the snowy mountains of the Soviet Union where nine hikers died mysteriously in 1959. Then Megan makes it weird with grown ups who act like babies! 

Ever wish that you knew more about unicorn trapper keepers and El Chapo? Well then do we have the podcast for you! Listen this week as Megan exposes the deranged world of Lisa Frank and Lauren dives into the various drug cartels of Mexico.

While drinking the world's largest beers, Megan ensures Lauren will never sleep again by listing the freakiest wildlife found in Australia. Then Lauren sets the record straight with the truth (jk) about Area 51.

In a special edition of the Freak Show, Megan and Lauren are coming at ya from the woods! Listen as they both try to make sleeping in a tent unbearably scary for each other – Megan with the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders and Lauren with clowns.

It only took us a full season, but listen as Lauren and Megan finally dive into the insane story that is Slender Man. Oh, and we'll cover the possibility of reincarnation with the Pollock Twins. This episode is full of both the heebies AND the jeebies.

It's a giggly, burpy episode after Megan makes Lauren chug a full beer. The giggles don't stop (disturbingly) when Lauren introduces Niels Hogel, one of the most prolific serial killers in history and Megan makes a strong case for butt chugging. 

This week we learn about the surprising dark side of the Ice Cream of the Future (TM?) and the very real, very reciprocated love between man and machine. It's a roller coaster of an episode and not just because someone's married to a roller coaster! 

Listen up, ya freaks! We're back with season 2 and this one's a whopper. We're talking cults. We're talking British Royal Family. We're talking murderous siblings. This episode has something for everyone.
