- The Great Emu War: In 1932 the Western Australian Minister of Defense, George Pearce declared war. The opposing army was 20,000 strong, but they had better fire power and opposable thumbs! They were woefully unprepared
- The Birdman of Alcatraz: How does an Alaskan pimp with a taste of murder and violence become one of the leading canary researcher of his time from a cell on the Rock?
- Teal Swan: The successful internet guru and spiritualist has made a name for herself over the last couple years, drawing in thousands to her 'tribe' and cashing in on their pain and suffering. Spiritual Leader or Cult Mastermind?
