Description
Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill. On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil.
Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered…
Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs.
Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most.
What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom.
What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child.
What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse.
These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under …your…. nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck.

Most people go to the Black Rock Desert to party under neon skies.
Nathan Morley went there to dig up a murder.
Long before Burning Man, this same stretch of Nevada wasteland was home to something darker - a drifter named Ronald John Gress, known only by his nickname: Bristlewolf.
He built a life in the middle of nowhere
a hole in the ground, a shovel, and silence.
And when the peace broke, three people ended up dead.
Their bodies lay in the desert for ten days before anyone found them.
For seven years, Nathan chased this story.
He walked the same cracked earth, lived inside his dugout, pored over six thousand court files, police reports, and forgotten letters. He interviewed forty-two people, survivors, witnesses, lawmen, even the families of the dead.
What he uncovered isn’t legend.
It’s real.
Bristlewolf isn’t fiction.
It’s a true story about pride, madness, and the way the desert remembers what men try to bury.
In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dig into the dark history buried beneath Dodger Stadium — Chavez Ravine. Before the cheers and bright lights, it was a thriving Mexican-American community. Then came the promises of progress, eminent domain, and bulldozers. What followed was betrayal, broken families, and one of Los Angeles’ most haunting sins: a story where the American Dream was stolen in the name of it.
Rachael takes us back in time to the 1850s in southern Colorado as The Coal Queen of Colorado, TRINIDAD is taking off.
This week we are giving a sneak peak exclusive preview of a fictional radio broadcast from a shipping container radio tower on a ranch in a parallel dimension known as Moonshadow Ranch. This series is an original audio anthology featuring short stories, paranormal vignettes and independent artists performing a number of magic tricks that can be captured with microphones. It's background noise. It's prime time audio vision. There are a lot of Easter eggs.
Give it a spin, we think you'll like it.

In one of the wildest afternoons in Major League Baseball history, the summer heat of 1984 boiled over into pure chaos. What started as a few inside pitches between the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres erupted into an all-out war.
By the seventh inning stretch 17 players and managers had been ejected and multiple fans had been arrested. In this episode Seven Deadly Sinners steps up to the plate for one of MLB’s wildest, weirdest, and most sinful showdowns.
In March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished from the skies, taking 239 souls with it and leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. What really happened in those final hours? Was it a tragic accident, a calculated act, or a cover-up cloaked in secrecy? In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dive into the haunting disappearance of MH370—unpacking the strange timeline, the theories that gripped the world, and the unanswered questions that continue to torment families and fuel conspiracy. A story of power, deception, and devastating loss… this is the case of Malaysia Flight 370.
Rachael travels to Creede, Colorado a cowboy town in the mountains founded in 1892 and comes across a creepy real life encounter tale of a cryptid sighting from a local that happened just south in New Mexico.
There is a cowboy we know, who would prefer to be called a "horseman" that long ago had a criminal past.... his stories are like Hollywood screenplays and most of them you wouldn't believe.... but this one, the tale of a hired hit, where the criminal listened to his conscious and against his better judgement be-friended the target.... this is a story we've been waiting a long time to gain his trust enough to let it be told on the podcast.
What a perfect way to re-launch Be Here For Awhile... On The Ranch

In this explosive episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dig into one of the most disturbing and far-reaching criminal conspiracies of our time—the Jeffrey Epstein case. Joining us is acclaimed investigative journalist Nick Bryant, whose groundbreaking work on the Epstein files and the Franklin Scandal has exposed the dark underbelly of elite power and abuse.
Bryant takes us deep into the sealed documents, hidden connections, and unspoken truths behind Epstein’s international sex trafficking ring. From the flight logs to the black book, from the political ties to the media silence, this episode sheds light on the people and systems that enabled Epstein for decades—and the survivors still fighting for justice.
Rachael calls up an old comedy friend, Jessica Michelle Singleton, to discuss her GRANDMA, Maxine Farrell, the first female detective in Anchorage, Alaska who help crack the Butcher Baker case even without the approval of her peers.
In this episode of 7DS, we descend into the icy heart of Alaska to uncover the monstrous double life of Robert Hansen — a baker by day with and deadly obsession to quell by night. This cake maker was a sadistic predator who hunted women in the Alaskan wilderness like animals. Known as the "Butcher Baker," Hansen abducted, tortured, and murdered at least 17 women during a decade-long reign of terror in the 1970s and '80s.
In honor of Game 7 of the NBA Finals we are covering The Malice In The Palace this week. A story of egos, emotion, and chaos when the game turned into a war zone. It started as a routine NBA game… ended as one of the darkest nights in professional sports history. Chairs flew. Fans bled. Reputations shattered. This is the story of the Malice in the Palace… and the deadly sins that fueled it.
The Alaska Triangle
In August of 2020 I interviewed Sarah Turney, she is one of the strongest, most level headed and kindest people I've ever spoken to...and that's all in the face of a fight for justice for her sister Alissa Turney. I highly recommend you listen to her podcast "Voices For Justice" all the way through, but listening to this full episode will give you a general background that I hope encourages you to look further into Alissa Turney's life, her disappearance and Michael Turney's bizarre life and transgressions.
On December 8, 1980, the world lost a legend. John Lennon—iconic Beatle, peace activist, and voice of a generation—was shot multiple times outside his New York City apartment in a senseless act of violence. In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we unravel the twisted psychology of his killer, Mark David Chapman, whose obsession with fame and delusion collided in one of the most shocking celebrity murders in history. We explore Lennon’s final days, the eerie premonitions, the haunting symbolism of The Catcher in the Rye, and the dark underbelly of idolatry. This isn't just a story about a murder—it's about the cost of fame, the fragility of peace, and the sinister side of devotion.
Live from the Coke Lot outside of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - It's part 2 on John Paul Jr & Sr. PLUS the legendary Randy Lanier.





Copying Morbid. LOL.
JFC! I had to turn on Trim Silence and 1.3x speed for this episode to sound decent. JUST TELL THE STORY!
im sorry but I started listening back when rachel was doing it herself. I prefer that way, her husband cuts her off all the time. it's really just making me not listen when I hear him on the episode. I just stop the episode and go to another one.
30:50 So old it might be a part with The Silurian Hypothesis?
Gee, I wonder what she's gonna cry about in this episode. LOL.
giving me flashbacks to the time a tree branch grew into our power line & explosion #1 happened. later, the electric co guys are up in the bucket to fix it & they clamp the insulation too hard & explosion #2 blew the door off of the bucket! luckily the CO guys were ok but holy shit was that a scary reminder of how dangerous electricity can be!
15:31 Viewer Discretion Advised. Some content may be... You know what? NO! GROW TF UP!
15:19 Finally, I agree with this host on something. I grew up in high desert areas. We had to drive for two hours to buy groceries. Then my dad died, and my mom and I constantly had trouble buying enough food. Wasting of food should be illegal.
Sounds as though it's going to be a good podcast
I hope this guy is a permanent addition to this podcast.
he is very likley on the spectrum and was probably depressed since a symtom of deprresion if you are on the spectrum is a morbid facination with death
8:21
Trying to victim blame men is ok? But don't do it to women. I see, double standards much?
The parents in this case are so friggin weird looking too. That guy's haircut is so strange.
Rachel seems to have forgotten how to tell a story with a beginning middle and end. I am so confused what she is trying to cobble together
please be careful you're doing with the rest of the media does and convicting the Mr Allen in the Delphi case before he's even had a chance to go to court.. it's so crazy because 10 years from now you'll be wanting to do a podcast on how an innocent man Mr Allen was convicted but if he's convicted falsely it will be because of people like you convicting him in the media before court even begins
Guy was a fuckin loser. I have never had a girlfriend, but I have a ton of money. The money means books, video games and great food 24/7. Having a girlfriend is overrated.
oh no, you have GOT to be kidding me. 491 is NOT middle of nowhere. it's a lifeline to people's homes. and what you saw are rez dogs. it's not some paranormal phenomenon, but the consequence of horrible treatment of the Dine people by the US gov't. at least you made some of us laugh at your stupidity
I keep trying with this podcast, but where is the storyline?? I have no idea what this cult is, theor scope, etc. 22 minutes in
So I’m guessing you didn’t marry a white person
