Twisted Listers

Hello Twisted Listeners! While Diva is away for work, we are releasing and oldie but a goodie (we promise, most/none of you have heard this episode): Solved Cold Cases! Because sometimes you just have to have a win, you know? These cases were super frustrating and sad, but luckily have the happiest possible ending for the families and friends of the victims. Some of these cases took over 50 years...

This week we have an exciting list of cases that were brought to us by our most VIP twisted listening patrons! Featuring a startling amount of dismemberment, a memorably grotesque bath, and a disturbing find in a backyard. Join us as we travel across the United States and hop over to the UK, getting spooked by the horrifying things that have happened in our listeners' hometowns! Thanks to all the...

Hello Twisted Listers! Thanks for tuning in to a very special episode - it's an episode where we give thanks to our amazing patrons by covering stories from their hometowns! For the first time, our top ten list has a theme that does not have a common thread, strictly speaking (at least we didn't think it did - why is dismemberment so popular in these first five tales?) We have tales from all over...

We’re back, twisted listeners, and we have a heavy hitter of a list for you - media circuses! This week’s ten cases are some of the most well-known cases in true crime history, each of which incited a frenzy of media coverage that stirred up controversy and outrage in the wake. Featuring an unsolved murder that implicated Washington politicians, a notorious child abduction on the scenic Portuguese...

Hello there Twisted Listeners! Thanks for hanging in while we took a week vacay! We're back and better than ever, with a top ten list that showcases just how bad the media can be. These cases are as much about the media response as they are about the cases themselves, with a focus on the frenzy that ensued after each tragedy, as well as our thoughts on why these cases are so appealing to the media...

Hello to all our Twisted Listeners! We are still on our brief hiatus, so we are bringing you another previously Patron Only episode!  We're coming at you with one of the worst cases we've ever heard, that of the entire trash can named Joseph Edward Duncan. This monster preyed on children, and the things he did to them were nearly unspeakable. We say nearly, because of course we're going to tell yo...

Sorry for the disruption, but sometimes your hosts need to go out of town! Because of this, we decided to share a previously Patron-Only Episode! This is a Cindy story, and she is taking you on a tour of Skidmore, Missouri, a tiny town with a very big murder problem. Some may even say it's cursed! We almost hope it is, because otherwise there's not really a good explanation for all the murders and...

This week, we’re getting seasonal and summery, and covering murders that happened on the beach! From the mysterious and unsolved, to the downright gruesome, these cases make us feel like we are truly unsafe in even the most scenic locales. Featuring a California beach that seems to be cursed, a suspicious robbery on a beach vacation, a mystery victim that could be in the movie Jaws, and the comple...

Summer is nearly here, Twisted Listeners, and with it comes the desire to go outside, camp, hike, and of course, go to the beach! In true TL fashion, we are here this week to tell you exactly why that's a terrible idea, with our top ten list of people who were murdered while at the beach. From a Buffy alum's near death experience, to multiple unsolved cases - more than you might expect - to horrif...

This week, we’re looking at ten murders from the world of fashion! From the shocking murder of an Instagram model, to an iconic fashion designer gunned down in cold blood, this week’s cases cover a wide range of the tragedies that have befallen some truly fashionable people! Featuring the salacious saga of a major fashion brand, young models whose nights out ended in horror, and some mysteriously...

This week, we're taking a trip through the glamorous lives of people involved in fashion - models, designers, trendsetters, and of course, hangers on. And in true Twisted Listers 'fashion' (pun intended), we're not looking at their lives as much as we're looking at their deaths - murders, to be more specific. From up and coming models to some of the best known names in high fashion, we've got ten...

This week, we’re covering the listener-requested topic of students who killed their teachers. Featuring a disgruntled grad student, a high school student-led mini cult, horrifying school surveillance video, and a crime scene photo that thoroughly traumatized Diva. Teaching can be a brutal, thankless job, and students like these aren’t making things any easier. Join us as we recount the harrowing t...

This week, Twisted Listers, we're covering a topic so sinister, and so horrible, we're actually surprised we hadn't covered it sooner! As if being a teacher isn't hard enough already - between long hours, dealing with snotty kids of all ages, being underpaid and definitely under appreciated, now we have to add fearing for your life and safety to the list of reasons teachers have it worse than most...

This week, we’re turning to the very intense and disturbing topic of beheadings. Featuring a surprise in a bucket, a murder disguised as a Halloween prank, two journalists who met horrific fates, a mysterious killer who escaped by boat, and a brutal attack with a piggy bank. From cases that are heavy and political, to others that are just downright wacky, join us as we navigate through a wide rang...

Hey hey Twisted Listeners! We are really on a roll here with the crazy wild topics, and this topic might just take the cake. We are covering beheadings - something near and dear to Diva's heart thanks to her historical research - apparently beheadings were all the rage in the years of yore! And that trend hasn't really ever stopped, sadly. Our cases this week include a drug deal gone wrong, and mu...

Who's ready for part two? Get ready to take a journey with us into the world of the occult (or rather, purportedly occult), as we turn to crimes blamed on demonic possession. Join us as we analyze whether the devil really made these killers do it, or if they’re simply seeking a demonic scapegoat. Featuring a demon in an Uber app, a sinister talking dog, an unexpected cameo from Olivia Newton-John,...

This week, dear twisted listeners, we are tackling a somewhat supernatural topic - murders blamed on demonic possession! We've got murders going both ways this week - some people claim they were doing god's work by ridding the world of its demons, and others where the murderer say they themselves were possessed! We have stories of kid killing 'demon assassins', Uber drivers overtaken by the devil,...

This week, we’re turning to the spine-chilling topic of kids who kill! Join us as we are repeatedly creeped out, horrified, and rage against our country’s juvenile sentencing policies. Featuring a teen girl who just didn’t like Mondays, an unfortunate coupling on an online vampire forum, a murder so gruesome it makes Cindy cry, and a murder that enraged the UK. Stay off our lists, and stay with us...

Ooooof. This is a tough topic! Most children are  so innocent, so sweet, so cute... and then, there are these kids. To be fair, most of these cases are kids that never had a fair shot at a happy life, but in some instances, these kids are pure evil. We have a famous Canadian case, an extremely mysterious whodunnit, horrific tales of abuse, and much, much more. So tune in, and try not to cry like C...

Check out our new website! www.twistedlisterspod.com This week, we turn to the terrifying topic of killer roommates! Featuring a sword-wielding Power Ranger, an infatuation turned deadly, a possible criminal mastermind, and a globetrotting conman. Buckle up, because these tales of roommate terror may bring up memories of the worst co-habitants you’ve ever had the displeasure of sharing a residence...

Have you, dear twisted listeners, ever found yourself in a less than ideal living situation? Perhaps you have a roommate who eats your food, doesn't flush, or, like Cindy's former roomie, uses your toothbrush without asking? That all sounds horrific, but not nearly as horrific as these murderous roommates from hell! This week, we have all sorts of actual horror stories of the worst roommates possi...

This week, we’re taking a trip to the truly wacky world of Florida murders! Featuring floating bales of drugs, an unholy alligator god, two whole face-eating cannibals, and an unexpected appearance of…ears. Travel with us across the Sunshine State, from a potentially cursed Key, to alligator-infested swamps, and shudder at the Florida man energy that radiates off these cases. To stay off our list,...

Holy moly, Twisted Listeners! This week we're keeping the crazy train rolling with one of our most 'fun' and completely bonkers topics to date: Florida Man Murders! These cases are next level - anybody who has ever googled "Florida Man" and their birthday has likely had a small taste of what these ten cases will be like. We have not one, but TWO cannibals, ears in pockets, four murders in one tiny...

This week, we’re turning to the wild world of reality TV shows, and the murders committed by or against their stars. Featuring a gruesome discovery in a suitcase, a puppy that appeared out of nowhere, a shroom-fueled evening gone terribly wrong, a calorie-counting murder conspirator, and a worst cook who was also a worst mom. Whether you aren’t into reality tv, like Cindy, or can’t get enough tele...

This week, Twisted Listeners, we are diving into one of our seedier topics to date - Reality TV! And as if reality television wasn't seedy enough, we're taking it one step further with cases of reality "stars" who were involved in murders and mayhem! These cases are even more ridiculous than the shows their perpetrators come from - there are chefs gone wild, a deadly spat between a former model an...
