That's So Fcked Up

This week Ash and Michelle talk about the death of Kathleen Peterson and the infamous "staircase murder"!
The gals talk about Kathleen Peterson, her husband Michael, her brutal death at the bottom of the staircase of the home they shared and the possible "staircase murder". Most think that Michael is guilty, but there has also been a theory that an owl may have attacked her. Michael's trial was covered extensively in one of the first widely known true crime documentaries, The Staircase. Ash takes a deep dive into the timeline of the night of Kathleen's death, her autopsy and the highlights of the trial. Join us and let us know what you think... who killed Kathleen? Michael Peterson or the owl?

Have you seen the colorful ads enticing you to come experience "China before Communism" through the art of song and dance at a Shen Yun performance? What about the far-right wing newspaper "The Epoch Times" that preaches misogynistic, racist, homophobic and prejudiced views? They're both owned by the dangerous cult of Falun Gong which Ash tells Caitlyn and Lindsey about this week!
Caitlyn co-hosts PNW Haunts & Homicides, a podcast about true crime, the paranormal, and all kinds of spooky sh*t in the Pacific Northwest! Lindsey is the co-host of Ye Olde Crime, a podcast about spooky, strange, and surreal stories of the past. Support your local indie podcaster and check them both out today, wherever you listen to podcasts!

This week Ash and Michelle talk about a horrid tradition that's been going on for centuries, hazing. Jeepers Creepers!
Ash continues down this dark road that we've been tackling, and goes even deeper into the fucked up. Horrible hazing rituals take place in Greek Life all the time. But sports teams and the military have awful reputations for these practices as well. Get ready to crawl out of your skin because this one is a damn doozy y'all.
Trigger warnings for this episode: sexual assault is sadly a big theme and Ash says that there will be animal cruelty mentioned, but we decided it was enough vileness for one episode and decided to skip it. If you want to read those stories, DM Ash or read “cat”, “goose” and/or “turkey” in our sources.

In this special interview, Ash and Michelle had the honor of talking with Supermom, and star of The Most Hated Man on the Internet, Charlotte Laws.
Make sure to listen to this interview because she spills alllll the tea that's not in the doc- her party days, the stalker that they didn't mention in the doc and so much more!
When Charlotte's daughter Kayla ended up on the website isanyoneup.com in 2010, she immediately took action. Isanyoneup.com was a revenge porn site created by giant P.O.S. Hunter Moore, and Charlotte intended not only to get her daughter off the site, but to shut that sh!t down... and she did!
Check out Charlotte's websites rebelinhighheels.com and undercoverdebutante.com and follow her on Twitter @CharlotteLaws!
