Hi everyone! This week we are looking at the case of the New Jersey Watcher. You may have seen this was recently made into a Netflix series by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan and the minute I watched it I needed to know what parts were fact, and what were fiction. As I always say, sometimes real life is scarier than fiction and this case is definitely one of them. 00:00 INTRO 00:59 Part 1, The Dream 07:43 Part 2, The Reality 14:28 Part 3, The Young Blood 20:05 Part 4, The Suspects 29:47 Part 5, To Move or Not To Move 41:44 Part 6, Theories & Developments

Happy Spooky Season everyone! Over on Patreon, I've been releasing extra special and spooky content every week for the month of October, but I had to give you all a Halloween special. So happy to be joined by Megan, someone I have now collaborated with three times on the podcast. Not only is she Irish, but a woman, and let me tell you they are few and far between in this space! We always have a great time chatting but this was my favourite yet, we chat about the Irish roots of Halloween & some of the spirits and mythical creatures that were known to appear around this time. You can find Megan on TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@skinfluencebymsk) or instagram (https://www.instagram.com/megansouthwellkenny_/)

This week on the pod I am speaking to Briell Decker. Briell was born and raised within the FLDS Church, a fundamentalist sect of the Latter Day Saints that practice Polygamy. Her life was never normal; she had no TV, was forced out of school before High School and she could not date or mingle with boys - any semblance of a normal teenage childhood was banned. Her life changed forever when she had just turned 18 and Warren Jeffs requested her to be married to him, as one of his then 64 wives. Briell's father brought her to the leader, and she was married instantly. Briell spent the next 8 years under the control of the FLDS Church, where she was drugged to keep quiet and all measures were taken to keep her within the organisation. This is her story, on how she escaped and how she took the power back. Watch her TedTalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWmsoCIuDn4&ab_channel=TEDxTalks

Celebrity conspiracy theories are some of my favourite things to chat about - the weirder and less evidence behind them, the better! This week we're chatting about Lady Gaga (my queen) and the mysterious circumstances around the death of her former friend Lina Morgana, Beyonce's deal with the Illuminati and Armie Hammer's obsession with cannibalism and his newest career move.

Welcome everyone! Today we are chatting about being Chronically Online ™️: from scrolling for hours on Tumblr to curating every inch of your life around an algorithm, chances are if you're listening to this you are chronically online too! As someone who 'grew up' so to speak, on Tumblr I wanted to chat to Eden Young (social editor of Polyester Zine) about our coming of age online, how Tumblr helped shape us as women and how we think future iterations of social media have shaped other young women to come. We chat about the many archetypes of femininity expressed via the internet and social media in the last 10 years and their importance.

Hi everyone! This month's Off-Script Hot-Take I discuss my love of Warhol that was reignited through the new Netflix docu-series, I watch the Kardashian's so you don't have to (but you will because are all merely slaves to their machine) and view them and the show through the Warholian lens of instant fame, curated controversy and polished yet heavily contrived realities. Finally I ponder the importance of the villian and how we are all just jesters on the stage of The Theatre of the Internet. Enjoy!

There's an awful lot of talk about censorship in the media lately, but did you know a lot of the most viral information was only revealed because of an attempt to cover it up? The Streisand Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the Internet. In this episode we cover a plethora of examples of the Streisand Effect, from where it gets it's name, political coverups gone wrong, all the way to literary censorship creating cult classics like Lolita. Finally we talk about Roko's Basilisk, described as "The Most Terrifying Thought Experiment of All Time", that went viral through the effect, possibly puts everyone who is aware of its existence in danger.

This week we take a deep dive into the Church of Scientology and their relationship to (and obsession with) celebrities. From alleged cover-ups, arranged marriages to using the charisma of the celebrity to spread their beliefs far and wide, there is no Scientology without the A-list celeb, and seemingly nothing they won't do to keep their A-listers loyal followers. In this episode we cover the beginnings of this profitable relationship and how it was always L Ron Hubbard's wish to be a celebrity Church. We also talk about how John Travolta got involved with Scientology, how they helped his career and reputation before casting him aside and how now, they seem to be doing little to cover his tracks. Of course we take a look at Tom Cruise, the Church's alleged #2, and how the organisation have curated relationships, staff and an entire life for their most famous and devoted member.

This week we begin a new series, a three part special on The Church of Scientology. When someone says the word Scientology to you, what comes to mind? A cult? A religion? An abused self help practice in the hands of a sociopath?A safe haven for celebrities while abusing its general parishioner? You would be forgiven to think any of these, as the church has come under so much fire in the last 20 years with many of their secrets exposed.

Welcome to my first ever, publicly released (from the archives!) episode of Red Room. In this episode I fill you in on what the future is going to be like, from an alleged time-traveller, I learned about the ancient myth of the skinwalker and pondered about shapeshifting in mythology and what kind of behaviour it was used contextualise to us mere mortals, in the mythology of Ancient Greece.
