Horrible History

This week, travel with your hosts to the sunny beaches of Indonesia and San Francisco... and then learn about the things nightmares are made of! First, Emily covers the deadliest volcanic eruption in human history (and the aftermath) and then Rachel shares one of the most highly-debated cases of Stockholm Syndrome with the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. Hopefully you’re horrified!

Completely coincidentally, both Emily and Rachel travel to Boston, Massachusetts this week. Emily covers the infamous, horrific and technically unsolved Boston Strangler case, then Rachel dives into the Kennedy curse and all of the horrible things that happened to America’s favorite family up through 1987. Hopefully you’re horrified!

First Rachel shares the true story of Machine Gun Kelly - the gangster bank robber, not the rapper. Then Emily shares the unbelievable story of Tarrare, the insatiable glutton who ate literally everything. Hopefully, you're horrified.
