Alternative Interests - Episode 101: Steven Pladl Part 2
play

04/13/22 • 40 min

Some people just aren't built for having families, and we believe Steven is one of those people. This story is fraught with abuse in all forms, perpetuated by one of the worst human meat bags we have covered so far. In Part 2, we bring you the conclusion of the Pladl story as well as discuss the phenomenon of Genetic Sexual Attraction to add some context to the situation with Steven and Katie. In this story there is no closure, no reform, and there is most certainly no justice.

Please be advised, this episode includes discussion of the murder of an infant that may be difficult to listen to.

Join us this New Year's Eve for a fun discussion about Scott Peterson. Take a drink and hang out with us while Drunk Kat TM️ gets all fired up about Scott’s guilt and Buzzed Crystal attempts to talk her down.

**This episode is unscripted and has much more banter than our usual episodes. It has a lot of speculation and we did zero research before recording so if you’re not a fan of boozy banter, this is not the episode for you.

*Audio quality note* We tried a new recording software for this episode and some of the settings are not quite dialed in, we will continue to tweak and hopefully create a better sound experience for everyone over the next few weeks - thank you for your patience!

03/16/22 • 67 min

Most of us have been taught from a young age that if we are in trouble and there is an emergency, we should call 911 for help. But what happens when we do everything right: we call the number, we give the information, and it still isn't enough? Denise's story is a tragic example of everyone doing exactly what we have been taught, and somehow still failing the person who needed help most.
