    We’ve hit another landmark episode – the big three-oh! This week, Alex takes us through the details of Samuel Little, the man regarded as America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer. It’s a dark tale that has had updates as recent as this year! To end this episode, we get the best reaction from Alex we’ve had so far when Frances tells him what she overheard in a nearby brewery.   Social: @sadtalespodcast Patreon: Patreon.com/sadtalespodcast

    Happy Halloweek, guys! It’s our last episode in the twenties, and we think it’s one you’ll enjoy! After shooting the breeze on the mic, Frances kicks off the episode with the story of Joyce Munguia in Austin, Texas. Then Alex takes advantage of the season with the Trick-or-Treat Murders and a relationship web that sounds straight out of a movie. We usually try to end the episode with something charming and whimsical, but you’ll never guess what unfortunate thing Alex heard someone compare cider to.
