Episode 41 (Murders We Find Interesting)

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 10:48:10 +0000

We're going to go out on a limb here and say that, by and large, murder is ~*~bad~*~ and shouldn't be celebrated. That said, sometimes you find out about a murder and it's so interesting that you can't help but tell two of your best macabre buddies about it.

This episode is a special episode celebrating the return of Liz; you'll get to hear us talk about murder cases that we find especially interesting and strange - whether it's about hex magick, drug deals gone horribly wrong, or a family of vampires (no really!)

Tune in and don't forget to be social with us, we love you!

Episode 40 (Waco Inferno)

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 00:07:26 +0000

Sometimes a situation happens where there are no winners, where everyone fucks up somehow. There is hardly a better way to describe what happened in Waco, Texas in 1993 between the Branch Davidians and the FBI.

We're going to try and make sense of this tragedy by going over who the Branch Davidians were, who the FBI informant was, how the FBI messed up so badly, and the lasting implications of the siege at the Waco compound.

Episode 39 (Buckle Up Your Babies)

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 17:55:00 +0000

"Darling mother, where is your sweet babe?/Why does it cry so queer?/Is this your once cherubic boy?/Or could a changeling be here?"

***

The legend of the changeling spans countries and centuries. In this episode, we go through some of the stories surrounding this phenomenon and explore what could be behind this legend.

For those interested, here are Renee's sources (which she forgot to mention in the episode): “Autism and Changelings” by Michael Fitzgerald, “Changelings And ASD” by Rhonda Parrish, “Changelings” by D.L Ashliman, “Evidence for autism in folklore?” By Dr J Leask, and “The changelings: fairy tales about autism?” by José R. Alonso

Episode 38 (The Kid is Not My Son)

Fri, 13 Aug 2021 22:05:48 +0000

Hello hello conspiracy pals! In this episode we're going over the highs, lows, and lower lows of the case involving Christine Collins and her son, Walter. We travel back to a time when the police could have you committed to a mental hospital if you annoyed them, although I guess times haven't changed too much.

We'll also cover a few additional cases where the police in charge let their hubris prevent them from adequately solving a case. Great times!

Episode 37 (The Spiritualism School of Hard Knocks)

Mon, 17 May 2021 20:44:09 +0000

We're back y'all. And we're back with a bang! Or well....maybe a few spooky knocks.

Join us this episode as we explore the (in?)famous Fox Sisters, how they started the Spiritualism movement, then abandoned it, then sought to discredit it entirely. We'll also discuss the (somewhat) altruistic efforts of Harry Houdini (if you've ever heard of him....) in trying to discredit Spiritualism himself.

Episode 36 (Molasses Butts)

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 13:41:25 +0000

Content Warning this episode for....well just about anything you can think of! This episode we're covering Roch Thériault and the Ant Hill Kids in excruciating detail, something we probably immediately regret.

If you believe you or someone you love might be involved in a cult, please take advantage of the resources available! As we find out in this episode, you could very well be saving your life or theirs. Find out more here: https://www.daretodoubt.org/cults

Episode 35 (Call Your Mother)

Fri, 06 Nov 2020 21:30:16 +0000

Look, we get it, motherhood isn't easy. Mothering during a pandemic? Even more difficult. But there's uh....quite a few steps you can take before you start microwaving your kids.

For more heartwarming (no pun intended) stories of mothers who uh....reversed the birthing process....listen to this week's episode!

Episode 34 (Welcome to Illuminati HQ)

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 20:26:03 +0000

There are a lot of reasons to go to Denver Airport. Maybe you're smuggling special gummy bears back to the red state you call home, maybe you're taking a nice trip to a tropical location, or maybe you're on your way to a secret bunker meeting with the Reptilians who control the upper echelons of our society.

Whatever your reasons, you'll be greeted by a gigantic, murderous, blue mustang on your way in and be greeted by multiple pieces of post-apocalyptic artwork as you make your journey. Happy Travels!

Episode 33 (This One Still Haunts Me)

Fri, 16 Oct 2020 15:44:45 +0000

Happy Spooky Season! If you only know Ed and Lorraine Warren from the Conjuring movies, you're in for a treat. We dive into who the Warrens were, what happened in their famous cases, and the different controversies surrounding the infamous paranormal investigation duo.

Episode 32 (Listen, Little Reptilian!)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:41:56 +0000

Aliens, Lucifer, the New World Order, Esoteric Religious Beliefs, Orgone Receptors, a Strange Murder, Celebrity Reptilians, this cult has just about everything! This week we're delving into the strange conspiracy beliefs of Sherry Shriner and her Virtual Reptilian Cult.

Disclaimer: We discuss this a bit in the episode, but just to make it perfectly clear, the term "reptilians" is often an anti-Semitic dog whistle for certain groups both online and in real life. Please be wary of any group talking about "reptilians" for this specific reason.

Episode 31 (An Iron Receptacle of Doom)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:39:20 +0000

Warning: this episode is pretty gross, and pretty gruesome. Don't blame us, we didn't tell Albert Fish to be a weird, pedophiliac serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism.

That's right, this episode we're suppressing our gag reflexes long enough to cover a serial killer somehow more disgusting than Richard Chase. Albert Fish famously indulged in "every sort of vice known to man," including spanking himself with a studded paddle in front of his kids until he bled and sticking needles all up in his body.

Episode 30 (We're All Gonna Die)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:35:32 +0000

Looking for some escapism from constant coronavirus coverage? Would you like to hear about some other, way worse pandemics? Of course you do!

In this episode we're tackling some of the worst times in humanity: from smallpox to cholera to the Black Death herself. Hear how mankind managed to conquer these diseases and pandemics, and find out why we're all struggling to get ahead of this one.

As always, we'll discuss some fun stuff, like how our spouses are (maybe) accidentally trying to poison us.

Episode 29 (Do What Thou Wilt)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:33:15 +0000

Are you familiar with the man behind these quotes: "Sex is the sacred song of the soul; Sex is the sanctuary of Self," "The key of joy is disobedience," and of course "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."

This episode, we're going in-depth on a man whose writings have influenced the majority of - if not all - esoteric thought for the past century. Aleister Crowley is iconic for choosing to stand out and speak out without apology or hesitation, and we'll discuss how a bratty, spoiled English boy named Edward Alexander Crowley became the epochal Aleister Crowley.

A Gnarly Gnocchi Second Helping

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:28:23 +0000

Social distancing problems require social distancing solutions! We love telling creepypasta stories so much we decided to do ONE MORE creepypasta episodes for y'all!

Listen on to find out how to deal with dead bodies that won't stay dead, wives who have ghostly doppelgangers, and a woman possessed by demons trying to bring the Antichrist into the world.

Listener beware, you're in for a scare-y good time!

Episode 27 (Selling Bathwater Before It Was Trendy)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:25:25 +0000

(*NOTE* this episode was recorded before the pandemic! Don't worry, we are all still social distancing like champs!)

What happens when a bunch of anime nerds starve themselves and infiltrate a police force? A deadly sarin gas attack, killing 13 people and injuring thousands.

Yeah, turns out when a guy claims to be the "Lamb of God", forces you to buy his bathwater (AND BLOOD) to drink, and constantly preaches about the end of the world, he probably has some nefarious tricks up his sleeve. Join us this episode to learn the most metal (no pun intended) way we've heard a cult dispose of their enemies yet and why anime nerds shouldn't be trusted.

ConspiraTea - A Leery Lasagna Special

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:21:36 +0000

Back by popular demand (for real, y'all love some spooky spaghetti), we're doing another creepypasta episode! Get ready for interdimensional diners, makeshift graves, and how to lose your soul in an abandoned church.

Because of the need for social distancing, we Skyped in for this episode so the quality isn't as good as usual, but we think that just makes these pastas even creepier.

The tea we're sippin' on: a variety actually (we didn't coordinate this time) but we still highly recommend getting yourself some August Uncommon teas to soothe yourself during this trying time. (august.la/)

Episode 25 (Who Killed Atlanta's Children?)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:19:29 +0000

From 1979-1981, Atlanta was crippled by a devastating series of murders targeting young, black kids. In the two year period, 28 children lost their lives. So who was responsible? A suspect was convicted, but is he guilty of all the murders? Some of the murders? None of them?

Join us as we discuss a true crime story that hits very close to home for us. And let us know what you believe *really* happened!

Episode 24 (I Was Once Very Happy)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:16:35 +0000

As far as ghost stories go, they don't get much more interesting than the Bell Witch. If you want to hear about a ghost who sang songs, mimicked voices, and recited Bible verses for fun, you'll love hearing about Kate and her many bouts of trickery. There truly has never been a haunting like this one.

Episode 23 (We Are Made By History)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:10:15 +0000

Happy Black History Month! Just like Pride Month, we're celebrating by covering a tragedy.

Is it easier to believe MLK Jr was shot by a rogue white supremacist? Sure. But the truth should be more important to us than what's easy. We dissect the possibility that the FBI and the US government lied and covered up the true events that ended in the assassination of one of the twentieth century's greatest leaders.

We also talk about fun stuff! Like our caffeine intake and, y'know, how important voting is.

Episode 22 (God and Satan Can Be Friends)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:07:32 +0000

What do you get when you combine God, Jesus, Lucifer, and Satan? A beautiful mélange of black turtlenecks, Satan-based coffeeshops, trippy magazines, silver cross necklaces, and German shepherds. (yes, after we recorded this podcast we looked up what "Alsatians" were and apparently it's another name for German shepherds. It's not our fault the Brits have to use a ridiculous word for everything [true story, our British fans refer to us as the "ConsipsyTipsy PodsyWodsy"])

We also talk about everyone's favorite topic for family dinners: politics. Mostly about how ridiculous everything is now.

Episode 21 (Targeting the "Less Dead")

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 18:04:51 +0000

The most prolific serial killer in American history—and you've probably never heard of him. We go over how he got started, how he managed to kill women across the country for forty years, and what he did when he was finally caught,

Don't worry, we also talk about fun stuff. Like who we had a crush on in classic 90's comedies like Full House and Saved By the Bell.

It was only a matter of time before we decided to go back to our favorite subject: ALIENS. This week we're going over the granddaddy of alien conspiracy theories: the Eisenhower Agreement, plus the aftermath.

Get ready for mysterious disappearances, unsettling sex aliens, and some really tough fried chicken.

This week we're doing a bite-sized version of our regular content with our very first Minisode! We're talking about the murder of Albert Snyder—and what makes it more interesting than your usual "cuck husband killed by wife and boyfriend" case. This story comes to us from the book Crimes and Punishments: A Pictorial Encyclopedia of Aberrant Behavior.

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:54:39 +0000

The best part of waking up......is being frozen in place in your bed and watching a shadowy figure hover near the edge of your bed.

....Or so we've been told. Join us this episode for a thorough examination of the history of sleep paralysis, the scientific explanation, and some spooky real-life stories! Because we love you guys, we're sharing some of our own frightening personal stories as well as a few terrifying ones we found online.

We also talk about our favorite episodes of 2019 and what we're looking forward to covering in 2020!

Episode 18 (Beam Me Up, Bonnie)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:51:13 +0000

This week we cover a group who managed to merge sci-fi, web development, nerd-chic aesthetics, and fad diets waaaaay before current inhabitants of Silicon Valley had coded their first MySpace page.

While today Heaven's Gates is mostly known for their mass suicide in 1997, the group is a lot more interesting than you think. We go over the beginnings of the cult, how they blurred the lines between science fiction and religion (did you know the Virgin Mary was impregnated on an alien spaceship?), and how they used the invention of the World Wide Web to their advantage.

We also discuss the various characters in Shameless, everything we love about Anna Nicole Smith, the difference between Right-Hand and Left-Hand Path Magick, and how the Internet used to be fun.

Also, we're continuing our campaign to get Tom DeLonge on the podcast! Let's talk about aliens!

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:47:59 +0000

Hopefully, you've gotten your fill of Thanksgiving food by now because this is *not* an episode to listen to while you're eating! Even among the insanity of California in the '70s, Richard Chase stands out. There's a reason he's called the Vampire Killer of Sacramento, and we'll go over why - in excruciating detail.

Don't worry! We also talk about fun stuff too, like politics!

Episode 14 (Child Ghosts Are the Worst)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:36:29 +0000

There's a reason New Orleans is known as the Most Haunted City in America. It would take us hours to go over every haunted place in the city, even if we just focused on the French Quarter.

So instead, for this third week of Spooktober, we're going over one of the most haunted places in New Orleans: The Andrew Jackson Hotel. We discuss its history, its ghosts, and why you should ABSOLUTELY stay in Room 208.

Since it's the spooky season, we also discuss our favorite horror movies, how Renee wants to die, and all of the (totally real) festivals Liz saw in Alabama.

Love hearing us scream about ghosts? By us a coffee (or tea!) at: ko-fi.com/conspirateapodcastatl (pretty please, we are very thirsty binches)

Tune in next week for some frightful farfalle, some terrifying tagliatelle, some ominous orzo......next week, on Halloween, it's our Creepypasta episode!

Episode 13 (Let the Cackling Begin)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:33:31 +0000

Welcome to the second week of Spooktober where we're *pressed to death* to discuss our spiritual mothers (maybe): The witches of Salem. Specifically, the trials they went through. You may have heard of it. There was a play. And a movie. And a book or two.

But did any of them focus on how sexy Bridget Bishop was? (also, maybe)

You can also hear us discuss how great Great British Bake Off is, how much we love Autumn/Fall, and how we're still trying to get Tom DeLonge on the podcast.

Love hearing us talk/cackle/screech? Buy us a coffee (or tea!): ko-fi.com/conspirateapodcast (pretty please, we are three Very Thirsty Bitches)

Episode 12 (Come Abduct Us, Daddy Zorp)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:30:16 +0000

For week one of Spooktober, we put on our tinfoil hats and get past the hype around Area 51 to get into WHY there's hype around Area 51. What can you expect? Black helicopters, secret FBI documents, and Tom DeLonge. Plus plenty more!

Tea We're Sipping On: Green Tea (duh.)

Episode 11 (Clue Meets Jurassic Park, No Dinosaurs, More Tragedy)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:27:07 +0000

A gorgeous, lakeshore manor, a murdered heiress, and an additional murder by candlestick. No, we didn't pull this story from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel. Join us this week as we go over the murders at Glensheen Mansion and the ensuring handling (and mishandling) of justice.

Our Tea: Pumpkin Spice Chai with Almond Milk (because we're celebrating Autumn damnit! And we wanted a nice, plush drink since we were talking about an extravagant manor)

We also discuss other light-hearted topics such as.....our own inevitable deaths.....and how much we want to go ghost-hunting in New Orleans.

Episode 10 (We Still Can’t Breathe)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:23:47 +0000

Five years ago, an altercation with the NYPD led to an illegal chokehold and the death of a father, son, husband, and community leader. This week, we examine the events leading up to the murder of Eric Garner and how the aftermath affected Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the encounter.

We also discuss our favorite Disney Channel Halloween movies, the Mary Kate and Ashley Pizza Party we're going to plan for ourselves, and how we express (or don't express) our emotions.

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 17:21:14 +0000

Ever wanted to just have an hour to yourself during the day? How would you feel about 23? Join us this week as we dive into the philosophy, torture, and hauntings in Eastern State Penitentiary, the first prison of its kind.

Based on the premise that prisoners would become "penitent" if they were forced to live in solitary confinement and ruminate of what they'd done, ESP was constructed so the inmates would have zero contact with other prisoners. Shockingly, this didn't produce the desired result.

We also discuss Liz's encounter with a cult, Renee's various paranormal experiences throughout the years, and the many ways the universe has been bitch-slapping Katie these past few weeks.

Episode 7 (Part 1: It Was Actually Flavor-Ade)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 16:57:21 +0000

By now everyone's heard the colloquialism, "Drinking the Kool-Aid", but there is much more to Jonestown—and Jim Jones—than how it all ended. Join us this week as we start our Two Part series on Jonestown and discuss the early life, philosophical beliefs, narcissism, and social activism of Jim Jones.

We also have Katie's husband Shawn as a guest on this episode (and we're pretty sure he regretted it the entire time)! We force him listen to us talk about live-action Disney remakes, our pets, and our terrible Cher impressions.

What do you get when you combine the design expertise of Ed Gein with the culinary skills of Jeffrey Dahmer?

One of the most gruesome crime scenes Australian police had ever seen. Join us this week as we go over the case regarding Australia's only woman to ever receive a life sentence without the possibility of release, Katherine Knight.

We also discuss how each of us charges our crystals during the full moon(Katie continues to be an agent of chaos), how much we miss MySpace, and how much we love soccer (players).

Episode 5 (The Central Park 5 Have Names)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 16:51:34 +0000

When "Justice" is rushed, investigation is stilted, evidence is overlooked, and—typically—easy targets punished while the true criminal goes free.

Join us for an insight into the climate and culture of New York City in the late 80's, and a discussion of all the elements that combined to create one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in our current lifetime—plus an examination of the lasting effects.

We also go over our love for Meryl Streep, our various pets, and why Liz could never be president!

Happy Pride Month! In this episode we're celebrating the lives (and discussing the deaths) of two of the coolest gay men to live in Georgia: Dr. Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom. This story contains rose gardens, harp music, sex parties, and Satanism, so basically a little bit for everyone!

Episode 3 (Are You Being a Good Boy?)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 16:27:40 +0000

Matcha lattes, mediation, ballet, yoga.....what could go wrong?

Sadly, a lot. Join us this week on ConspiraTea as we unpack the Buddhafield Cult, a group that was seemingly perfect—until it wasn't.

This week we're sipping on delicious Matcha Lattes, so feel free to make your own and drink with us!

Also, since the recording of this episode we discovered that the Cult Awareness Network is now owned by the Church of Scientology, so we will not be linking to it for obvious reasons!

ALSO, the cult we were trying to think of was NXIVM. They're pretty creepy, too

Episode 2 (Cullen in the Front, Beyonce in the Back)

Fri, 02 Oct 2020 16:22:49 +0000

It's the 25th anniversary of Nicole Brown Simpson's murder, so we're covering a case that's strikingly similar with an unfortunately similar outcome.

If you haven't heard about Cullen Davis, get ready to get angry.

We also cover our feelings about the new season of Black Mirror, all the old-lady shows we watch, and how everything is bigger in Texas—even the nicknames!
