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.

Its over and done! We can now rest the story of the Octopus Murders. There is a really important message so tune in and I promise we all can take away something from this tale. Its a heavy episode so content warning as we wrap up. We may never get to the full root of the mystery but we can at least continue to wonder. Just maybe it would be best to let some things go.

Perhaps it is an evolutionary step or a survival skill we acquired. Is there a way to further study the brain and learn its secrets. Tune in for tangents and tales of the mind.

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!!!
