    60: Ericka and Benjamin Sifrit
    May 14 2024
    This is a listener request from @lynds321. Ericka and Ben Sifrit, the killer couple who's relationship was like throwing gas on a fire. These two found thrills in devious ways and the outcome had terrible consequences for an innocent couple who got sucked into a party that ended with a deadly game. The Sifrits had no remorse for the awful crime they committed. Yet more people to feel distain for. P.S. don't get married after 3 weeks of dating, just a suggestion.

    59: John Gotti The Teflon Don
    May 1 2024
    Daphne did such a great job talking about the life of John Gotti. He was a poverty stricken kid who went on to become the highest ranking member of the Gambino Crime Family. Living his life in the spotlight like a celebrity of sorts and then the inevitable fall from grace. These stories about mobsters seem so unreal like a screenplay or book you can't put down, in fact this is real life for some.

    58: Phillip Markoff AKA The Craigslist Killer
    Apr 14 2024
    Phillip Markoff dubbed the Craigslist Killer by the press, was a good looking guy, with ambition and moving his life in the "right" direction. Never in trouble, always following the rules and striving for the next level. Big dreams and set goals that were well on there way to being met. Then enter the dark side of maybe unexplored or hidden sexual desires and huge debt that pivot life in the direction away from "normal" to WTF that went south. Phillip Markoff is the reason why "Adult Services" was removed as a form of advertisement from Craigslist. Maybe a little bit too late for some.

    57: Kitty Genovese and "The Bystander Effect"
    Apr 2 2024
    Kitty Genovese's murder was shocking and senseless as all murders are. The interesting thing about this case is what has come to be known as "The Bystander Effect". Newspapers exaggerated the details as they do, and subsequent reporting led to a full study in the human response. The bystander effect was a term coined after this tragic murder. The sad reality of people not wanting to get involved and in this case a life may have been saved. But "someone else will do something" and unfortunately by the time anything was done it was too late for Kitty Genovese.

    56: Papa Legba
    Mar 15 2024
    Daphne explains the origin of Papa Legba in relation to Haitian Vodou, Dominican Vodou, Winti and Louisiana Voodoo. Papa Legba is believed to be the gatekeeper who serves as the intermediary between God and humanity. These roots are derived from religious beliefs that span different cultures. He speaks all languages and has no evil intentions. We hope you enjoy this one which is a little off the beaten path for us but sometimes we need a break from murder and mayhem. Although there is some mayhem, because there always has to be.

    55: MK Ultra
    Mar 7 2024
    LSD 25, yuuhhh! We're not as tripped out as we'd hoped to be when learning about Project Artichoke and its subproject, MK Ultra. This episode is all about the unintended discovery of a mind melting drug, acid, and how the CIA tried to use it to spread "American values" to other nations and even its own citizens. Buckle up, we're about to go for a far out journey!
