Is it a bear? is it a three legged kangaroo? Is it a short little Alien from outer space? Regardless, let's all get our guns and start shooting indiscriminately into the woods. This week Allie really phones it in and basically just reads you a newspaper article, but we swear it's so out of pocket you'll understand why. Who knows what Henry McDaniel saw that night, but one thing we know for sure is that after April 25th 1973, the small town of Enfield Illinois was catapulted into radio show sci fi hysteria. In an academic paper written about the incident, a researcher did admit "some people tactfully suggested Mr. McDaniel had a notoriously overactive imagination"... but thats exactly what an invading monster from outer space would WANT you to think!

Right after St. Patrick’s Day we’ve got a fascinating piece of Irish history to tell you about - The Wrens of the Curragh, a community of women who lived at the margins of Irish society in the aftermath of the great famine. Their lives were brutal, as were the oppressive forces keeping them poor and hungry no matter what they did to rise above. However, their unity in the face of hardship is what makes these women so invaluable to Irish history, and we’re looking forward to introducing you to their story!

Silver lining, I like to think that gypsy rose while being in prison Maybe sees it more of like a College dormitory type situation where she can get her education but she has housing and 3 meals 3 meals a day, supervision, etc....friends, integrate in to social situations. it is 100% better then the hell she was in, but I agree she shouldn't be there

to say you can't have reasonable debate due to threats is not true. ben shapiro and milo Yiannopoulos recieve death threats daily yet still encourage reasonable debate and even travel to areas in wich people have told them you will die if you come here. if you truly believe what you stand for then a couple of as you say incels arent going to take action in a public setting. i should mention im here to learn the other side of what happened during gamergate not to cast hatred or crucify people with oposing opinions

The new year's episode was my favorite so far. I love the podcast content but the *ding* everytime someone says "I'm horrified" is obnoxious and is actually a bit of a sensory overload for me. I like the absence of "dings" in this episode.
