What a Creep
Season 17, Episode 4
The Murder of Stanford White
Architect Stanford White was one of New York’s most revered architects who built the second Madison Square Garden & the Washington Square Arch, which stand today. In public, he was a bon vivant who moved with old school wealthy and the nouveau riche. He was also a creep who participated in the sexual assault of several young women as part of a group of entitled men in New York’s high society. A Creep, Harry Thaw, killed him on June 25, 1906, because of one such assault on actress Evelyn Nesbit who was 16.
The trials of Harry Thaw caught the nation’s interest and are a part of NYC lore. In this episode, we will discuss the major players and what happened to Evelyn after she outlived the Creeps.
Trigger warning: Sexual assault and abuse

What a Creep - The Murder of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery

What a Creep
Season 17, Episode 6
The Murder of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery
Candy Montgomery was just another bored 70s suburban Texas housewife when she was tried for committing a crime so heinous people still have difficulty making sense of it. The murder of Betty Gore was the subject of a TV series starring Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey on HULU called Candy. It will also be adapted into an HBO series starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jesse Plemmons next spring.
What is so unusual about a murder in 1980 (which was also adapted into a 1990 TV movie starring our forever “old man crush” Brian Dennehy, A Killing in a Small Town) that captures our imagination? Let’s see if we can figure that out today.

What a Creep
Libs of TikTok
Season 24, Episode 2
Libs of TikTok is a far-right social media account run by Chaya Raichik. Basically, its whole schtick is adding hateful commentary to content created by left-wing and LGBTQ+ people on social media platforms.
Libs of TikTok has been blamed for sparking bomb threats, property damage, shooting threats, written and verbal harassment, and other forms of violence against individuals, hospitals, and schools across the country. The content posted on that account is funneled directly into Fox News, The Federalist, and NewsMax to generate more outrage and stoke hatred toward the gay and transgender community.

What a Creep
Season 26, Episode 4
President Ronald Reagan and the AIDS crisis
When the AIDS epidemic started in the early ’80s, the Reagan administration's response mainly involved making jokes in the daily press briefings. Throughout his two terms as president, Reagan and his administration didn’t even do the bare minimum to help. According to The Atlantic, almost 83,000 cases of AIDS were confirmed while Reagan was in the White House, and nearly 50,000 people died of the disease. Reagan, what a creep.

What a Creep
Season 26, Episode 5
Sun City and Apartheid in South Africa
Sun City is a luxury resort and casino complex in South Africa. During the apartheid era (1948-1990s), it became infamous for hosting international artists despite the global cultural boycott of South Africa. The South African government promoted Sun City as a major entertainment destination, but for many, it symbolized the oppression and exploitation of apartheid. Artists United Against Apartheid was a collective of musicians who came together in 1985 to raise awareness and protest apartheid, mainly targeting the Sun City resort. Steven Van Zandt, a musician and member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and record producer Arthur Baker spearheaded the group. They were outraged by the continued performances of international artists at Sun City despite the call for a cultural boycott of South Africa.Trigger Warning: Racism

What a Creep “The Pied Piper of Tucson”
Season 15, Episode 4
Charles “Smitty” Schmid
Life magazine wrote a cover story about Charles “Smitty” Schmid in March 1967 describing teenagers as basically animals that race, do drugs, have sex, and will never “snitch” on anyone--even a 22-year-old pedophile Creep who wears heavy makeup and killed one of their schoolmates. This story is about a man dubbed the “Pied Piper of Tucson” who acted like a murderous Wooderson.
Trigger warnings: murder, sexual assault, and animal abuse
