True crime meets truly bizarre. Crime news, haunted lore, and Florida Man chaos — unfiltered and slightly unhinged. Shadow Chat Sessions is the off-the-rails companion to Dark Dialogue — where unsolved mysteries collide with crime headlines, haunted places, and cryptid chaos. One part true crime, one part weird news, and all parts irreverent, this show brings you weekly breakdowns of the oddest, darkest, and most hilarious stories that didn’t make the front page. It’s what happens when investigative podcasters let loose… and hit record anyway.
Sometimes you need a break from the heavy stuff — and that’s where Shadow Chat Sessions comes in.
In this episode, John and Angela dive headfirst into a chaotic mix of strange headlines, conspiracy nonsense, Reddit rabbit holes, dumb criminal behavior, and truly weird shit that absolutely does not matter… but is way too entertaining to ignore.
