With April having such an unfortunate and packed history this month was split into two episodes. This episode focuses on the latter half (15-30). A truly tragic and unsettling two weeks throughout history. From very publicized events such as Chernobyl, Virginia Tech, and Columbine to some of the lesser talked about we certainly did not cover all of them. Thank you for listening as always and don't forget to give us some feedback on social media and your favorite listening platforms!

Join us this week for a short but sweet recap of dark dates in history. We may be a little late to March but better late than never! Keep your eyes out this upcoming week for another full feature episode. In the meantime thanks for the listens and feel free to catch up on any you may have missed!

After a heavy petition a "reformed" and released Austrian prisoner climbs through a career of broadcasting and journalism. Going so far as to report on his own crimes and interview the very agencies searching for him. Join Brian (and special guest: Cheyenne) this week as they explore a case that spanned from Austria to right here at home in the USA. As always thank you for listening and please share your thoughts! We appreciate all who listen!

We're back and ready to bring you a new episode! Richard Chase also known as the Vampire of Sacramento holds a very disturbed and twisted mind. This account is graphic and as content providers we would like to inform it can be a lot for some to process. The actions of Richard could be labeled as sickening. A sad and terrifying set of situations for all parties involved. We hope you enjoyed this episode and thank you for listening!

Just throwing a quick hold over out there before we come back to present a full in-depth podcast! Forgive the guest of weather that made its appearance in this episode and tried to drown Brian out. As always thank you for listening and be sure to watch out for an episode VERY soon!

Brian brings you some more important dates to be mindful of this January! Schedules have been a little out of sync lately and we apologize we haven't brought a full episode in some time. Stay tuned as much more to come in the upcoming month. In the meantime we hope you enjoy these January dates. Don't forget to check out [Brian's "Dark History" and Pop Culture] on Facebook!

The Holidays are not always a joyous time of year. While we tend to think that the month of December is a time of happiness and celebration we can forget some of the frigid stories and events that have happened in this time. During this busy time we have been very occupied but Brian is happy to give a new episode to hold over those of you who may be caught up! Thank you all for sticking with us in a bit of a hiatus and as always thank you for listening!

To hold you over while you wait and for those of you caught up here are some dark and historic November dates! Thank you all for being patient with us and for supporting Brian in all his many ventures!

When the topic of school shootings is brought up many of us think about the tragic events of Columbine and Virginia Tech. The sad reality is these incidents have been going on for a lot longer than we think. This week Brian brings to you many shootings that pre-date the events mentioned but left traumatic scenes in their wake. School shootings, like many violent crimes, have a heavy impact on the victims, families, and communities involved. Take a tour with us and discover some of the less talked about but just as morbid shootings and motives. As always thank you for listening and be sure to let us know what you think!

August 1, 1966, the horrific and gruesome shooting at the University of Texas took place. Former Marine, Charles Whitman took the lives of 15 people and wounded 31 others during the 96 minute assault. As we are just past the 55 year anniversary of this fateful day we remember every victim including Whitman's own family who like many were unsuspecting and taken too soon.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned as longer episodes and interviews are to come!

Take a break this week and join Brian as he discusses a piece of dark history that was downplayed, shoved under the rug, and unfortunately blown completely out of proportion. With an estimated 100-300 dead from the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, this 18 hour long blood bath left the city of Tulsa, OK. severely damaged to years to come. As always thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!
