Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies

Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies

Two friends decided to make podcast about all the weird crap from history that sometimes can't be explained. Chelsea is here for political conspiracies, Cristina is here for the history and the science behind it all. From mysteries in ancient times to people missing in present day. From doomsday cults throughout history to international politics. From Bigfoot to Dropbears. If it's weird, we want to talk about it.

This episode was recorded a very long time ago, but due to life issues it's been collecting dust in our hard drives ever since. We're really happy that we could finally get it out to you so you can listen to us recount and react to the fourth book in the Vampire Diaries series, by L.J. Smith. It was... certainly a time!!!

This week we conclude the bummer of a tale about how the United states yet again meddled in affairs they just shouldn't have. The Iran-Contrra scandal should be more widely known and by today's end you will be just as upset as we are. And with that we wish you a Happy New Year. We will be taking a break but don't go away! We will have popular episodes replay over the month of January while we take a needed rest.

This week we continue to bring you some holiday cheer as we get into the middle of a three part series on the Iran-Contra incident.
