Do your conversations kill the party? Do you find yourself getting "that look" due to your extensive knowledge about turn of the century asylums? Have you ever wondered if there is a market for human skin books? If so then we are the podcast for you! We are pulling the dark things out from the shadows and throwing them into the spot light, to be talked about while we sprinkle in some comedy and cursing. We are not making fun of these topics, rather, we are laughing in the face of the dark out of sheer bullheaded defiance. We make the bold move and look up the stuff that you don't want in your browser history for plausible deniability if no other reason. Because with us, you might be disturbed, but you're not alone.

Hippo Ranching & Lizard People aka The Great Fever Dream & The Coldest Blood

Disturbing Interests

01/30/23 • 77 min

Season 5 is off with a bang as Regina tells us the tail of hippo ranching and what could have been a very big aggressive problem in the south. This story is busting at the seams with kooky characters, bad ideas, and a sense of entitlement that only the early 1900's can bring. It also makes us question what might have been if 'lake cow bacon' had become a core element in the American diet.
Lynn comes back with the whacky wtf'ery that is lizard people. People really believe in this stuff and take innocent lives because of their delusions. This cast is definitely NOT run by lizard people...

William Desmond Taylor aka Crime Scene Parties

Disturbing Interests

06/12/23 • 49 min

Hollywood has had it's fair share of salacious crimes and intrigue through the years. From the very inception of the industry the glitz and glamour has often camouflaged a darker seedier side filled with secrets, cover ups, and sorrow. It this weeks episode Regina takes us through the first part in the two part story about one of the first great murder mysteries in the movie industry, the murder of the legendary William Desmond Taylor.
So, pour yourself some of that good moonshine, bath tub gin, or hooch and slap on one of those old jazz era hits because we are going all the way back to the early 1900's and the very beginning of tinsel town with this one.

Synanon AKA Jet Skis, Not Cults

Disturbing Interests

05/29/23 • 65 min

In this episode Lynn tells us about her recent kinda run in with Synanon while in Europe, and about the wild California cult that started it all. The phrases, 'tough love', 'today is the first day of the rest of your life', and 'cold turkey', may not have the happy origin that we want them to since they were all popularized by megalomaniac and cult leader Charles Dederich Sr.
Just remember folks, brainwashing is never good.

Ines de Castro & Owls AKA The Corpse Queen & The Bard

Disturbing Interests

02/27/23 • 86 min

In this new tale Regina brings us a love story of the most gothic kind while Lynn delights us with owls.
First Reg dives into the story of The Corpse Queen of Portugal, Ines de Castro, and her love Pedro the First, The Cruel. In a gruesome love story for the ages Pedro coins the term "f@ck around and find out" while inspiring art for generations and winning the heart of every little gothling to come for ages after.
It looks like the ladies dynamic is back to normal since Regina is back to being the darker side of terrible. We have not seen her so excited about a story since she pitched the tale of Tararre to Lynn...
Then Lynn brings us home with owls! If you are wondering how owls are disturbing, well just you wait...
With a plant queen, goddesses, a really specific way to die, and the tale of Lynn the Bard being robbed in her prime it is a wild ride.

Don't panic, we don't have the Cove, but social distancing has made us need to step up our technology game and figure out a new way to meet and chat remotely, so our next proper episode is going to be a little late, but out in a few days and worth the wait, we promise!
