Web Crawlers

Ali Segel and Melissa Stetten discuss pop culture, TV, viral stories, unsolved mysteries, creepy cults, scammers, and everything unsettling in between. “They maintain a loose, upbeat dynamic as they fall down rabbit holes, which means listeners can comfortably dip their toes into the deeply unsettling and unexplained, but won’t walk away feeling, well, haunted.” (Vanity Fair, 2020)

With the stupid f*cking Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade we try to decipher what exactly is a religious exemption for abortion, and how is The Satanic Temple helping people to get abortions?


We’ve donated to AbortionFunds.org, which is a national network of abortion funds that splits up your donation to several different funds around the country.

A man named J.S. Dirr posted on Facebook asking for prayers for his wife who had been in a terrible car accident. She was a trauma surgeon who was 35 weeks pregnant. Hundreds of well wishes started pouring in. The Dirr family had been well known for over a decade, updating their followers on their intense family drama- including their son who had battled cancer four times. Turns out, none of it was real.
