191: Chaos, Bloopers, and the most unhinged things Bailey said all year!

Dec 3 2025

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the fourth... and maybe final... Joanie Awards. Tear. But don't be sad that it might be over... be happy because it all happened.

After a season jam packed with horny nuns, rogue presidents, cursed statues, disastrous love lives (ancient AND modern), Britney impressions and some evil, shedding mittens… we’re closing things out with a bang.

In this special Dark History finale... me, Joan, and Paul roll out the red carpet to honor the best, the messiest, and the most unhinged moments of Season Four. I'm talking iconic costumes, surprise musical numbers, historic divas, cursed inventions, Vegas chaos, medical nightmares, and impressions that are so bad... they're good.

Plus, I pull back the curtain with some never-before-seen clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and fan comments that sent me into full spirals. It’s chaotic, it’s heartfelt, it’s ridiculous… it’s The Joanies, babe.

Will this be the last one ever? I honestly don't know. But if it is... we’re going out in true Dark History fashion: curious, laughing, learning, oversharing, and maybe questioning our life choices just a little bit.

Seriously, thank you so much for tuning in all season. Without you, I would not be here.

xo
Bailey

190: The Mysterious Cult Leader Who Inspired Jonestown - Father Divine

Nov 26 2025

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday!

What if I told you that one of the most influential... and mysterious cult leaders in American history is someone most people have never heard of?

And that Jim Jones himself, yes Jonestown Jim Jones, got many of his ideas from same guy?

Today, we’re diving into the wild and complicated story of Father Divine—the charismatic leader behind the Peace Mission Movement, a man who inspired millions, shaped pieces of the civil rights era, built entire communities from the ground up… and also demanded unwavering loyalty that crossed more than a few lines.

This isn’t your typical cult story. It’s part spiritual revolution, part empire-building, part “wait, WHAT?!” And somehow still a chapter of American history no one talks about. And we should because it brings up an interesting question...

Where’s the line between a movement that helps people… and one that controls them? And at what point does something become a cult?

Let’s get into the Dark History of Father Divine.

And when you're done... go check out my MMM episode about Jonestown: https://audioboom.com/posts/8164237-jonestown-massacre-apocalyptic-cult-who-was-jim-jones

189: The Wicked Truth Behind Hollywood’s Favorite Movie - The Wizard of Oz

Nov 12 2025

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday!

You’ve seen The Wizard of Oz... the ruby slippers, the Yellow Brick Road, the flying monkeys… But you've also heard rumblings of some dark rumors, haven't you?

Well, behind all that glitter and Technicolor magic was a nightmare of toxic makeup, real fires, starvation diets, terror in Munchkinland and a studio system that nearly killed a teenage Judy Garland.

In today’s episode of Dark History, let's follow the (bloodsoaked?) yellow brick road backstage to uncover the shocking truth behind one of Hollywood’s most iconic movies.

From the Tin Man’s near-death experience to the Witch catching fire on set (literally), to asbestos snow and all sorts of horrible abuse — this is the wicked story of The Wizard of Oz that MGM never wanted you to hear.
