If no, well i hope you like hearing more things to reinforce your world view. This episode we've got murder, we've got abductions, we've got torture pits? Alleged cannibalism? and a whole bouquet of trigger warnings for violence and SA so genuine warning for this one.

Do you enjoy listening to 21 minutes of nonsensical life updates with the occasional cool update on motorcycles? if so then listen all the way through, but if you'd rather just jump right into the story about The Forgotten Cannibal and his many trophies, along with the mysterious entity known as The Axeman (who was probably uglier than American Horror Story's Danny Huston) then you can just jump right in to the 21 minute mark and it'll pick up.

Can you guess what I'm gonna say here? Well if you guessed "Content warning for this one, because it's gonna be a rough episode" no you didn't, you don't need to lie to impress me, I still love you. But that is what I'm saying because, same as the last couple episodes, it's a rough ride this episode, but it's worth it for the jam packed, and emotionally taxing episode, I promise next week we'll take it easy on you guys!

Just a fair warning, as with most episodes, this one is a rough one, this week we discuss the mass suicide of Jonestown, along with a lesser known series of serial killings from Australia, known as "the Family" killings. There's plenty of graphic, uncomfortable violence, manipulation, SA, and more, so get ready, but it's a good one.

Content Warning for this episode: We discuss some brutal cases, we've done so before, but on this one there's some violent killings, suspected incest, animal abuse/murder, and dismemberment, etc. It's a good episode and it's crammed full of interesting information, the really intense cases of the Papin sisters from 1930's France and a the brutal murder and mindset of Jason Masey, it's intense, but it definitely makes up for us not posting last week, enjoy!
