That's right, Ding Dongs. The Queen is starting a SECOND podcast. It's specifically geared toward historical true crime (cases prior to 1980, and going back as far as human history itself).

After a brief introduction, Allison will plunge you right into 1908 and the world of infamous Midwest female serial killer, Belle Gunness, who was reeling in and extinguishing scores of lonely hearts on her Indiana farm for a good few years before the whole operation went up in flames. Literally.

Coming March 1st, a historical true crime podcast hosted by the Queen Ding Dong herself, Allison Dickson.

The topic of Gone Girl was an inevitable for this show. The 2012 bestselling phenomenon by Gillian Flynn blew millions of readers away with its stunning plot twist, but it also caused one of the biggest plot twists in Allison's own life.

This episode, featuring Jayson Blair of the Silver Linings Handbook, explores the dark and faceted marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne, and they discuss the way so many of its themes resonate in real human psychology and relationships.

Essay by Gillian Flynn: "I Was Not a Nice Little Girl"

Recently, Allison appeared on the Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair to discuss our collective fascination with darkness. Why do some of us love things like horror stories and true crime? And are we doing ourselves disservice by avoiding those things entirely? All that and more in this talk.

As we prepare to hunker down to stuff our faces with delicious delights this holiday season, Allison and her trusty movie buddy Josh from Press Play and Scream bring you a rousing discussion on the diabolically epicurean 2022 masterpiece, The Menu, starring Anya Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and Ralph Fiennes.

For the ultimate Halloween celebration, it seemed an opportune time to discuss  another well-known trope of the season. This week we're joined by Nathaniel Dickson, the eldest spawn of our host! Nate has dabbled in the craft for the last several years, and they're here to bring all their practical knowledge and insights into things like tarot cards, crystals, spells, divination, manifestation, Dungeons & Dragons, and yeah, maybe that one time they hexed their ex. Don't worry, it was warranted.

Happy Halloween!

This week of spooky month, Allison and Jayson Blair of the Silver Linings Handbook podcast sit down for a thoughtful discussion on the long history and complex culture surrounding another one of our universal monsters: the werewolf.

From symbolizing the harmony between person and beast in various indigenous cultures, to the fear of our own animalistic natures in Ancient Greek and European history and folklore, the werewolf offers us a chance to confront not only our anxieties regarding change and control, but a chance to embrace transformation and potentially even make friends with the parts of ourselves we're afraid to confront. And how in the pursuit to understand this world and each other, the stories we tell about our monsters are vital to maintaining our humanity.

Last year, friend of the show Brett from The Prosecutors podcast came on to talk with Allison about ghosts and his time as a paranormal investigator. This time, they're going all in on a discussion of a different form of the restless dead: ZOMBIES, those flesh-craving ghouls that have a lot more going on with them historically and culturally than meets the eye.

From folklore born during the enslavement of West Africans in Haiti to the shambling, brain eating automatons of George Romero lore and so much more in between, the zombie is the perfect mirror of the social anxieties of the time.

Also stick around to hear their picks for the perfect zombie apocalypse weapons and vehicles.
