Hilary and Shelby close out their MKUltra series with this last episode. They cover conspiracy theories, justice served and any possible hint of a silver lining from this whole messed up scenario.
"Government-run human mind-control experiments" sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie. But in reality, it was the core of Project MKUltra. In part two of the MKUltra series, Shelby explores the methods, including using LSD, that the CIA used in an attempt to master mind control.
Get ready for a wild ride! This week, Hilary and Shelby talk about what made Project MKUltra seem like a good idea -- the Red Scare.
In this very special Booze Tues episode, Shelby sits down with CEO, creative director, lady boss and owner of Ally Rae Thread Co. Ally Flinski. They talk her company, accomplishments and the real important questions..White Claw or Wine?
This week, Hilary and Shelby wrap up their Alcatraz series. This episode covers what life is like on Alcatraz today, some interesting facts, and the obvious entertainment of the hauntings of Alcatraz Island. Also, did someone mention mimosa and kayaking tours?
In part two of the Alcatraz story, Hilary tells Shelby about some of the most infamous prisoners who made it to the island, a mysterious escape attempt, and what happened to the island after it closed.
It's Tuesday and Grand Ramblings is kicking off our newest series about Alcatraz Island. Shelby starts part one of this series by going over the crazy history of the island and what went down before it became a federal prison. We cover the prisoners, we talk escapes, we also take a break from White Claw and drinking wine.
Season Two means a new Grand Ramblings minisode interview series: Booze Tues. On our first installment Hilary and Shelby (the twos in Tues obvi) sit down with dietitian, Croatian queen and most importantly their best friend Petra Radman. We talk about her career in the hospital (spoiler, it's not like Greys) and how it was growing up in a Croatian household.
In Part II of the Radium Girls series, Shelby delivers another science lesson — and then some. Be prepared to have your mind blown as Shelby and Hilary discuss the Radium Girls' fate and the deadly substance that sealed it.
Grand Ramblings kicks off season two with a new format (shocking). In this first-parter of their series, Hilary and Shelby cover the history of The Radium Girls.
On this episode Shelby brings Sam from All The Way Through podcast back on the show to discuss all things good and bad about the holidays.
In this week's minisode, Shelby and Hilary swap stories about holiday injuries -- and not just from carving the turkey.
With the holidays quickly approaching, Hilary dives into one of the most polarizing days of the year: Black Friday. In this episode, you'll find out if Shelby and Hilary are crowd-loving shopping fanatics, learn some Black Friday traditions that Americans follow, and get a peek into the dark side of the holiday.
Have you ever wanted to know what Shelby and Hilary like to drink (besides White Claw)? What about how they met? In this extra-special episode of Grand Ramblings, your co-hosts reveal all.
This week, Shelby explains Mercury retrograde — and why it ruins lives — to Hilary. Skepticism ensues.
Back with the newest minisode, the girls stuck to the random word format. This week they cover some stories that are tied to "tire murders". Hilary goes over the murder-suicide of Jim Tyler, and Shelby discusses the still unsolved and tragic flat tire murders of Florida.
The Cecil Hotel in downtown L.A. is a magnet for unfortunate -- and horrific -- events. This week, Hilary takes Shelby through the timeline of The Cecil's dark past. They talk Richard Ramirez, Elisa Lam, and much, much more.

In this comedy-filled episode, Shelby breaks down the history of comedy films and the ladies discuss their all-time favorites. Get ready...there are lots of poorly-delivered movie quotes ahead.
WE HAVE OUR FIRST GUEST YALL! On this episode Hilary is out so Shelby sits down in our first installment of Get to Know GR with the one and only Sam. Mastermind of Outlier Visual, Grand Ramblings sound guy, hardcore music connoisseur, best cat dad, and obviously..her boyfriend. They discuss how he started his career in photography and how hardcore music has heavily influenced not only his art, but also his lifestyle.
