20Christmastime is upon us, and with it comes the season of giving. Mike recites perhaps the greatest story ever written about the spirit of giving.
Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. But penicillin won't help...
He was destined for greatness. No one knew it but him.
Some said he was cursed, others said he was blessed, but everyone agreed--he was the luckiest kraut in the navy.
It's All Hallow's Eve! So what better way to mark the occasion than with an episode of OCCASIONALLY. Mike pays homage to the macabre musings of the great Edgar Allan Poe by reciting perhaps his most famous story. Light a candle, pour a beverage, and let the Victorian goosebumps wash over you. Prepare yourself for the insidious beating of... The Tell Tale Heart
But for this woman... maybe a bit more.
This group gave us the most iconic sound of all time.
Who earned a funeral fit for a king.
A love story. Sort of...

Denied his father's true last name for most of his life, James reclaimed it--in a monumental way.
Julia was flattered by the proposal—but it came with certain… preconditions.
It's difficult to describe the chaos of an unpredictable world--but Peter sure tried.
She just said she was going home - but it's the way she said it that we remember.
When one of the most famous women in the world disappears without a trace, it sets off one of the greatest whodunits you've never heard of.
They were classmates, bandmates, and best friends - even after one devastating punch changed everything.
Mary had issues, no doubt about it. But her mother was always there for her...
The journey was an incredible achievement - but the true cost was difficult to bear.
When it comes to writing steamy love letters, you really gotta hand it to Elizabeth and George - even though they handed it to themselves...

Jacob, did you learn nothing from this podcast? Nothing is “Free.” You paid some (40% interest?) on the time you invested in listening to this title. Entertaining yes; but, what is your take-away reward for your base investment?
DaveKuper
Madoff “infected” no one. He used the second most common base-element of Human Nature from which to feed - Greed. He exploited people’s greed the way pornos exploit sexual compulsion. Bernie was a Parasite and his victims were merely Hosts, thinking they too - were parasites...
Nick Kennedy
5mins into a 12min podcast and he's still babbling and doing ads... sure, pay your bills man but c'mon get to the story!

Episode 4: Little Bits of Corpse is excellent! I've known that story for decades, but never heard it told so completely! I wish everyone knew this story. Thank you so much, Mike! You're an excellent follow-up to Paul Harvey, dear sir!
Jeremy Medlock
Poe was a master of suspense and horror if read properly, Mike you've proved this fact now.
Karen Harkness
OMG you had me completely engrossed in this story. It is by far my favourite. You, sir, are a master wordsmith. We'll done!

Spielberg? Come now Mike, he'd have never made that movie if not for the hard work of the great American historian and storyteller Stephen Ambrose.
Nathan Miller
The way Mike pronounces "Giancarlo" is adorable. Wrong, but adorable.
