Cults, Cryptids, and Conspiracies

Two friends decided to make podcast about all the weird crap from history that sometimes can't be explained. Chelsea is here for political conspiracies, Cristina is here for the history and the science behind it all. From mysteries in ancient times to people missing in present day. From doomsday cults throughout history to international politics. From Bigfoot to Dropbears. If it's weird, we want to talk about it.

Thank you so much to all our listeners for sticking with us through the first year! We're looking forward to many more anniversaries to come! Remember to like, rate, and review and e-mail us at ...

Episode 51: To Invade A Mockingbird
