Main Ep 10: Religious Trauma & Red Flags with Stacy

If you're into tea about people you do not know, this ep is for you! Stacy Bailey joins the pod this week to get very honest with our host. Audree and Stacy have been friends for a long time but have never discussed the red flags they saw in one another's relationships that did eventually end up in divorce, so they talk that out for the first time on this episode. Along the way, they hit on religious trauma, world views, and much, much more! It's a weirdly funny yet vulnerable episode. 

Main Ep 9: The Stepfather Horror Series and John List Part 2

Part 2 of the John List vs The Stepfather series has dropped! This time we dig into "The Stepfather" horror movie series and how close it keeps to the true story of John List (the true crime story we dug into in Part 1). Your host, Audree, watched 3 Stepfather movies, spanning from the '80s to the remake in 2009 to discuss all the similarities, differences, and wacky inspirations of the series.

Mini Ep 12: At Least Mercury Retrograde Is Over?

Main Ep 8: The Tortured Poets Department with Kelsey

Surprise! An early main episode with Kelsey has dropped! Today we're reacting to Taylor Swift's new album: The Tortured Poets Department. Kelsey came over late on a week night to share her opinions loudly just for all of you (and for me)! It was a blast and the pod covers our theories for what the album could be about, our individual reactions and thoughts about each song as we listen through, and ultimately our overall impression of the album based on the first listen. Our opinions are bound to change over time with more listens, but the first impressions we had are forever frozen in this recording posted to the internet to haunt us forever!

Main Ep 7: The Stepfather Horror Series & John List Part 1

This week your host, Audree, discovers the '80s horror series "The Stepfather" and talks through the true crime story it's based around. In part 1, we discuss John List and his horrific crime of murdering his family despite the outward appearance of an all-American life in a beautiful house called Breeze Knoll. Not only is the story harrowing, but List's eventual capture and trial are wild as well! TW: family annihilation. 
Part 2 which digs into "The Stepfather" movie series and how close it keeps to the true story of List will drop April 30th, so stay tuned for that!
