He's Got His Eye On You | Balor

Balor was the leader of the Fomorians in Irish Myth. He was a tyrant and warrior in Irish Folklore. He had a big ol' eye that caused all kinds of crazy crap. He was pretty badass, to be honest, and he was relegated to a sponge. What in the hell does that mean? Well, listen to find out!

Horses are cute | Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Disclaimer: I'm bird sitting, and the little bugger literally never stops chirping or screaming. I understand if you want to skip this one as he's very present throughout.
This week I'm talking about end times, and the most obvious sign that tends to herald it in: The Four Horsemen. Yup, those cheery chaps who ride in carrying war, famine, disease, and of course, death. This is, of course, the Biblical rendition of what occurs when Jesus has had enough of us, but it's still interesting nonetheless.

Who Shot That Guy? | The Killing of Scott Guy

New Zealand, 2010 is our setting for today's episode, for that is where the poor soul known as Scott Guy was unceremoniously gunned down in the driveway of the farm he partly owned. While there were some persons of interest, the police really only ever focused on one suspect: Scott's brother-in-law, Ewen Macdonald. 
Between behavioral issues on Macdonald's side, and family drama basically everywhere, Ewen was arrested and went to trial for the murder of Scott Guy, but was he found guilty, or is the true culprit still at large to this day? Listen to find out!

Love and War | Ishtar

So, let's pretend the last five months didn't happen (god, how I wish that were true...), and that this episode went up directly after the last :).
Anyway, I'm back with an episode that is sort of a shout out to the origins of this podcast: Ancient Myths! Specifically Mesopotamia. I really do love this era, and it's sort of like the origins of all modern cultural lore. Today we're talking about the Wonder Woman of ancient history: Ishtar. She was the goddess of love, but also war! How cool is that. She's both a lover and a fighter, which is super badass. Anyway, listen to the episode for all the goodies!

Many Autopsies, and a few reexaminations later. shark attack was ruled out. So what happened to Michelle Von Emster that fateful day in April of '94?
