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.

Parlor of the Paranormal: The Nightmare Before Kissmas

Happy Holidays! We decided to go a bit festive this month and picked a book on theme. We were expecting dumb Hallmark Channel Original Movie and instead got maybe one of our absolutely favorite books we've ever read on Parlor. We had a lot to talk about and we can absolutely recommend you read this book for yourselves! Enjoy!
