This week, we’re discussing the legal version of pyramid schemes--MLM, or multi-level marketing, companies. Not only is it nearly impossible to make a profit through MLMs, but they target and even harass some of the most vulnerable among us.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we at Dark Matter wanted to dedicate an episode to current and past crime cases that involve LGBTQ/+ victims. In this episode, we break down what the infamous “Gay Panic Defense,” now referred to as the LGBTQ/+ Panic Defense, is and why it’s so harmful. We also speak on the ever-growing, yet seldom discussed issue of violence against trans people--specifically black trans women.

Today we'll be discussing the murder of George Floyd, which led to the recent wave of protests demanding justice for Floyd and so many other innocent black men and women.

Have you ever wondered how far social media “influencers” would go for clout and followers? Surely, not even the most shameless influencers would adopt a child for followers, just to abandon the child a few years later right? Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Myka and James Stauffer did. In this episode, we discussed a current case about narcissism, influencer culture, and international adoption gone wrong. Thanks for tuning in and we’ll be back next week!

If you've ever watched The Land Before Time, All Dogs go to Heaven, or Jaws IV, you'd recognize the talented child actress Judith Barsi, who had an extensive acting career at only 10 years old.

We hope you learn something from this episode and will be back next week with another. TW: alcoholism, domestic abuse, and violence towards children.

This week’s episode is on a cultural sensation that has become incredibly widespread as well as incredibly controversial. K-pop (Korean Pop) groups feature some of the most talented and disciplined musicians on the planet and these musicians are rewarded with unimaginable fame… but at what cost? Thanks for tuning in and be sure to check out or other episodes if you haven’t already. We’ll see you again next week!

This week’s episode is on the darkest matter we have covered yet…the Rwandan Genocide. 26 years ago, this racially-driven tragedy claimed countless lives and wreaked havoc on the lives of those who survived. Neighbors, coworkers, and even families turned on each other with a vengeance, killing over 800,000 Rwandans in total. The Rwandan Genocide should serve as a precautionary tale of the evils of colonization, as the two major groups in Rwanda, Hutus and Tutsis, lived in harmony before being colonized, segregated, and indoctrinated. We hope you learned something new from this episode and will be back next week.

In this week’s episode, we’ll be discussing one of the most mysterious areas on the globe… the Bermuda Triangle!

Dive into some of the Bermuda Triangle’s craziest theories and mysteries with us this week and be sure to tune in next week as we cover another dark matter--thanks for listening!

This week’s episode is about something so mysterious, bizarre, and disastrous that it sounds more like a Sci-Fi movie than reality.

We hope you’ll enjoy this episode and stay tuned for next week’s!

Have you ever wondered why every bottle of painkillers has a seal you have to remove before getting to the pills?

Enjoy and stay tuned for more episodes on other crazy cases like this one!

In this episode of Dark Matter, you’ll learn about a tragic example of what can happen as a result of unchecked power and greed. Hundreds of South Koreans, a majority of them high school students, drowned at the hands of corrupt regulation practices and a government effort that prioritized appearances over civilian lives in the Sewol Ferry Tragedy.
