This Place Scares Us - A Podcast

Hi Dear Listeners,

Welcome to part 2 of episode 10! If you didn't have a chance, go check out episode 10 part 1. So, enjoy episode 10 part 2 where we discuss all our thoughts, theories, and ideas about what happened at the Dyatlov Pass.

Katya had so many answers and so much answer face for this part of the episode its pretty unreal. Aliens, avalanches, yetis, government conspiracies!? Plus, Davey talks about radioactivity and isotopes (science). We change our minds all the time about what happened so write to us and let us know what you think happened!

Hello Dear Listeners,

We have missed you! To steal a term from one of our favorite authors (Christopher Moore) our day slave lives have been getting us down and keeping us from editing this podcast! But fear not, we are back with a Spooktober appropriate episode.

This episode is a throw back to one of our collective favorite movies: 2015's The Witch (or The VVitch) by Robert Eggers. This period piece set in 1600s Puritan America has a little something for everyone. For the devoutly religious, Puritans, for the devoutly satanic, Satan, for the devoutly feminist, Witches. Robert Eggers develops a wonderful atmosphere in which to set this exploration of female power, religiously motivated paranoia, and the truly brutal nature of life 300 years ago.

So join us as Katya and Laramie delve into feminism, the history of witches in America, why the woods are so scary, and also hyenas. We have just one question for you dear listeners... Wouldst thou like to live... deliciously?

Hello Dear Listeners,

We have been enjoying the wonderful summer weather and doing our best to keep cool! Hopefully you are enjoying the summer sun and staying safe from the things that go bump in the night. And, what makes summer better than a nice song or two?

Well this week you are in for a musical treat! Katya and Laramie discuss the one and only Jerry Lee Lewis, AKA The Killer (really this is his nickname), and the many horrible things he has been accused of doing. If you haven't had a chance give Mr. Lewis a Google and bask in the 1960s terror that is his hairdo.

So join us as we delve into why you should be afraid of Mr. Lewis and people like him.

Hello Dear Listeners,

We hope you are having a wonderful start to summer and enjoying the warmth and sun. Cookouts are a wonderful summer tradition and this week we decided to bring you an epicurean focused episode.

Gilberto Valle, dubbed the "Cannibal Cop" is a former NYPD officer who was found guilty of conspiracy to commit kidnapping in 2013, and later had his conviction overturned in 2014. Gilberto's charges stemmed from his behavior in online chat rooms regarding fantasy writing involving the rape, murder, and cannibalization of numerous women. To say this case is complex is an understatement, but Katya and Laramie dig into what makes this such a scary situation.

Also, Katya and Laramie struggle with New York geography, discuss diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5 and try to pin down where the line is between thought crimes and real crimes. So join us for some ups and downs on this wacky episode!
