Scandal Water

Fearless storm chasers, a love triangle, and a flying cow… the 1996 blockbuster “Twister” had a lot going for it.  And in this special double-feature episode, we discuss not only the original film, but also the 2024 standalone sequel “Twisters!” What connection did “Twister” have to “Jurassic Park”? How did the technology developed for the 1996 movie advance filmmaking? In what ways does “Twisters” parallel “Twister,” and where do the two differ? And just how accurate is the science in both movies?  This podcast is so fun and fast-moving, it'll have you in a whirl!

*Warning: There are brief descriptions of child abuse in this episode. Listener discretion is advised. As Shari Franke watched the police break into her family's home on August 30, 2023, her Instagram post simply read, “Finally.” In Part 3 we finish our series on Ruby Franke, the Utah mother of 6 who somehow moved from beloved family YouTube vlogger to convicted child abuser.  What happened when Shari and neighbors called child welfare services to report concerns? How did the youngest Franke boy escape from Jodi's home, and why do authorities believe his action saved both his and his sister's life? What incriminating evidence was found in Ruby's diary? How has Shari advocated for increased protection for the children of content creators? And where are Kevin and the 6 Franke kids now? We discuss all this and more in this fascinating final episode.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel. MID-ROLL: For May's minisode, we will dive into more mayhem as we delve into Ruby's diary.

Ruby Franke's friend called Jodi Hildebrandt a guru… Ruby's daughter Shari called her “our family's very own cult leader.” In Part 2, we continue our 3-part series on the Ruby Franke case, sharing what happened after Ruby and Kevin sought help for their son Chad's behavior.  How did it impact the family when therapist and life coach Jodi Hildebrandt entered their lives? What incident caused most of Ruby's 2.5 million YouTube followers to turn against her? How did Jodi come to move into the Franke home? Why was daughter Shari disowned? And what circumstances led Kevin and Chad to both be “invited” to move out on the same day? We discuss all this and more.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.

It was the 911 call heard around the world. Through countless media releases, we all listened as a man in Utah tearfully described the wounds on the young boy who had shown up at his door asking to be taken to the police… a young boy who, we soon learned, had been horrifically abused by his own mother and her business partner.  For many of us, this was our introduction to the shocking and sad story of Ruby Franke, the subject of this 3-part series.  In this Part 1 we discuss Ruby's progression from devout Mormon wife and mother of six, to ‘America's Mom,' a beloved YouTube family vlogger with more than 2.5 million followers. But what concerns did some of Ruby's family members have about her parenting even before she became a YouTube star? How did Ruby's faith inspire her to become a content creator? What changes occurred in the Franke children's lives after they became ‘employees' for 8 Passengers, Ruby's channel? And what happened when the kids started to rebel against the constant filming… son Chad, in particular? Don't miss the first episode in this 3-part series.

Duunnn dunnn… duuuunnnn duun… It's hard to believe it's been 50 years since “Jaws” arrived with a splash, bringing acclaim to young director Steven Spielberg, forever changing the public perception of sharks, and introducing the concept of the summer blockbuster for the very first time.  So what better way to celebrate than with a trip to the Falcon Theatre in Newport, Kentucky, to see the regional premiere of “The Shark Is Broken,” a witty and entertaining comedy about the making of “Jaws.” This past Thursday Candy and Ashley did just that, attending the final dress rehearsal for this wildly popular show that is fresh off Broadway. They also had the privilege of speaking with the 3 actors who bring “Jaws” leads to life: Keith Cassidy (Robert Shaw), Ted Weil (Roy Scheider) and Brady Dunn  (Richard Dreyfuss), as well as David Derringer (Director) and Katie Ruwe (Stage Manager).  Wish you could have been there?

Were you Team Coco or Team Jay?  We're referring to the highly publicized battle that occurred between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien over “The Tonight Show” back in 2010. And if you remember that, you may also recall a similar rivalry that took place years before– this time between Jay Leno and Dave Letterman.  But these late night talk show conflicts are just part of what we cover in Part 2 of this lively episode on late night talk shows. Here's a glimpse at a few other events that come up… What secret deal helped Jay Leno land the spot as Johnny Carson's replacement? How did Conan O'Brien strike back at NBC when he felt he'd been mistreated by the network? What heartfelt Craig Ferguson monologue from 2007 is now legendary? And which talk show host ended the NBC ban on Joan Rivers by inviting her on his show? We give you plenty to talk about in this fun episode!

Note: The content discussed in this episode may not be suitable for all ages.  “The Jerry Springer Show” sparked boycotts and protests led by a priest, was referred to as the pioneer of Trash TV, and released an episode that was immediately banned due to its inappropriate content.  Yet the tabloid talk show has also been referred to as a cultural phenomenon, so popular that it once bested the wildly successful “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in the ratings for 26 consecutive weeks.  In this lively episode, we discuss the controversial “The Jerry Springer Show.” What caused the show's focus to change from news and politics to the outrageous topics we remember? What key figure is often credited with being the mastermind behind “The Jerry Springer Show?” Was there any truth in the accusations that the fights were fake or scripted? And how was “The Jerry Springer Show” involved in a tragic murder case?  You won't want to miss this fascinating episode.

Billed as a simple “High School Musical,”  it was actually a global phenomenon.  The 2006 made-for-TV Disney Original launched the careers of actors like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, transformed the Disney Channel's programming, and garnered $4 billion in retail sales.  Which elements of the movie were based on the screenwriter's own life? How was director Kenny Ortega able to film a Broadway style musical with such a young cast and only $4.2 million? Why were Zac Efron's vocals dubbed by another actor? Were they really all in this together– what were the relationships between cast members like? And what factors contributed to the teen musical's unprecedented success?

It's a TV series about a group of teens growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1990s during the Troubles. It's also laugh-out-loud funny. We're talking about the charming, if somewhat irreverent coming-of-age TV show “Derry Girls,” and in this ‘grand' episode we take you behind the scenes with the whole gang– Erin, Michelle, Orla, Clare, the wee English fella, and even Sister Michael! What characters and events in “Derry Girls” are based on creator/writer Lisa McGee's own life? How did it affect “Derry Girls” when a lead cast member landed a role in “Bridgerton” between seasons 2 and 3? How do the storylines blend humor with history? And what happens to the main characters after the show ends, according to Lisa McGee? We discuss all this and more!

The coming-of-age classic “Stand By Me” is now pushing 40, but the story it tells is timeless– that of young friendship, and the enduring love that comes with it.  In this episode we delve into the backstory of the beloved film, then share a few impressions after watching “Stand By Me” during our break– the first time for Ashley! What famous author wrote the novella on which the movie was based, calling it autobiographical? How did director Rob Reiner choose the cast of young boys, and what techniques did he use to coach their acting? What memories do cast members have of River Phoenix? And what annual celebration is still held in honor of the movie?  Travel back to 1959 with us as we delve into the poignant “Stand By Me.”  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel. *Thank you to Linda McCormick, chairperson for Stand By Me Day, for her audio clip and Jim for his top-of-the-episode shout out!  How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe!

Miss this episode on the beloved rom-com “Clueless” that tells the story of Cher, a self-absorbed Betty with a heart of gold, whose annoying step-brother Josh (a Baldwin himself!) ends up being her love interest? As if! This classic 90s film was more than just a work of entertainment. It not only changed the way we speak, but also influenced fashion and launched the careers of young stars such as Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash, and Donald Faison. But on what 1815 novel was the movie based, and why was it rejected so many times? Why did writer and director Amy Heckerling have Alicia Silverstone in mind for Cher even before the script was finished? What memories do cast memories have of Brittany Murphy? And how did the focus on fashion (Cher alone had 64 changes!) challenge the cast and costume designer? You'll feel, well, clueless if you miss out on this fun episode!

For Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor the answer is: A pandemic.  In this episode, we share the love story of Hollywood couple and frequent on-screen costars Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, including a few highlights from their individual lives and careers. What was it like having comedy legends as parents, and how did that affect Ben's own views on child-rearing? What experience with a failed TV pilot sparked Ben and Christine's romance?

Kimberly Williams recently opened up about the “terrifying” medical ordeal that stole her voice for 2 years. While husband Brad Paisley has praised her strength in fighting to figure out the problem, Kimberly has shared how much Brad's support and sense of humor meant to her during that time. Married nearly 22 years, the country music star and popular actress have supported each other personally and professionally from the very start. In this episode we discuss the love story of Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams. Which family member– honored in Brad's 2012 book– gave Brad his first guitar and encouraged the young boy to pursue music? Why does Kimberly joke that Brad's “stalking” is what led to their first meeting? Which of Brad's music videos features Kim, and how did “The Father of the Bride” influence one of his albums? What personal tragedy led Kim to write a memoir and start an annual fundraiser for Alzheimer's research? And how did an experience with their two sons inspire the couple to create a free Nashville supermarket called The Store to help families experiencing food insecurity? Brad and Kimberly thought they loved each other “Then,” but their bond has only deepened through the challenges they've faced together.

They first crossed paths in 1978 when Kyra Sedgwick was 12 and Kevin Bacon 19, though he doesn't remember it! The pre-teen complimented the young actor after seeing Kevin perform in an Off-Broadway play. Ten years later the two were married, and they've remained happily so for 36 years. Just ask the goats they occasionally serenade when posting Instagram videos from their Connecticut farm. In this fun Valentine's week episode, we share the love story of Hollywood couple Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, including a few highlights from their individual lives and careers. How did Kevin convince Kyra, his somewhat reluctant movie costar, to go on a first date with him? When Kyra was hesitant to do “The Closer,” how did Kevin help make it possible for Kyra to accept what would turn out to be her most acclaimed role? What devastating personal crisis did the Bacons experience in 2008? And in which projects have the couple collaborated not only with each other but also occasionally with one or both of their children? We discuss all this and more in this uplifting episode that will leave you feeling “Footloose” and fancy-free!

Named the greatest actor of the 20th century by the New York Times in 2020, Denzel Washington is one of today's most well-known and highly respected actors. Less well-known is his wife of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, an accomplished musician and actress with whom Denzel has shared a life and raised four successful children… and without whom Denzel has said, “I wouldn't be alive.”  In this episode, we celebrate the love story of Denzel and Pauletta Washington, while also highlighting interesting information about the couple's individual lives and careers. What event during his childhood does Denzel credit with helping him avoid a future in the penitentiary? How did Pauletta make North Carolina history in 1970? How did the couple connect… and why do their respective versions of the story differ slightly?

Special thanks to friends and listeners Lizzie and Hayden for submitting the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire episode as their Fan Favorite, and sharing insights for the new introduction. In addition, Ashley also weighs in on the conspiracy theory explored in “Forbidden Fruit: Sin City's Underworld and the Supper Club Inferno,” a book mentioned in the episode.  (Originally aired 9/19/2023) It's the 3rd deadliest nightclub fire in US history and the reason you see a maximum capacity sign posted in every restaurant and bar you enter. Yet many have never heard of the horrific fire that ravaged the Beverly Hills Supper Club in May of 1977,  killing 165 people and injuring 200.  Known as the “Showplace of the Midwest,” the opulent, sprawling facility located in Southgate, Kentucky, not only offered event space, but also boasted wildly popular Vegas-style performers and acts.  The evening of May 28, 1977, approximately 1200 people crowded into the cabaret room to see the legendary performer John Davidson, never dreaming their night would end in a nightmare of flames and toxic fumes.  Join us as we revisit not only the circumstances behind the tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire, but also the impact it had on fire safety codes and the mystery that still lingers.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.  Caution: This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence.

Special thanks to friend and listener Rich for submitting “The Fugitive” as his Fan Favorite topic and providing audio for the new introduction.  Part 1: (Originally aired 11/5/2024) Accused of brutally murdering his wife, Dr. Richard Kimble, played by megastar Harrison Ford, is relentlessly pursued by the shrewd and witty U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, played by Tommy Lee Jones.  This is the simple but engaging premise behind the 1993 blockbuster “The Fugitive.”  But what's the story behind the making of this smash hit? That's the question we track down in this episode– the first of a two-part feature on everyone's favorite ‘wrongly-accused' film, “The Fugitive.” On what true crime case was the original TV series “The Fugitive” allegedly based? How did the movie's plot evolve as it moved through the various screenwriters who worked on it? What impact did Harrison Ford have on the film, and why was he initially reluctant to bring in Tommy Lee Jones? And just how much of the dialogue actually was improvised?  Part 2: (Originally aired 11/12/2024) U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard may not care, but we certainly do! A box office hit and critical success when it was released 41 years ago, ”The Fugitive” is still highly regarded today, with many ranking the lead actors' performances among their very best.  But what, exactly, is it about this movie that makes it SO good?  That's what Ashley and Candy discuss as they break down one of Ashley's favorite films, “The Fugitive.”  Join the fun as they weigh in on everything from the cast, to the special effects, to the last-minute script changes, and so much more.  Don't let this episode escape you!

Special thanks to friend and listener Jennifer for submitting our Anne Frank episode as her Fan Favorite, and providing audio for the new introduction. In addition to the insights and personal connections that are shared by Jennifer, Candy and Ashley also discuss two new developments related to the legacy of Anne Frank, the young writer whose tragic story has touched millions of people around the world.  (Originally aired 4/2/2024) “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” These were the words written by 15-year-old Anne Frank just months before Nazis raided the Secret Annex and sent the inhabitants to concentration camps, where all but her father ultimately perished.  One of the most well-known teens in history, this extraordinary young woman's work, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, ranks among the top-10 best-selling nonfiction books of all time and has been translated into more than 70 languages.  How did Anne's family end up in the Secret Annex along with the other inhabitants, and what challenges did they face while in hiding? What new discoveries about Anne's story have come to light in more recent years? How do the  A, B, and C versions of Anne's diary differ? And do we finally have an answer to the mystery of who betrayed the Secret Annex families? Join us for this moving episode where we discuss all this and so much more!

Special thanks to friend and listener Jodi for submitting “The Princess Bride” episode as her Fan Favorite and providing audio for the new introduction.  (Originally aired 2/13/2024) “The Princess Bride” (1987) remains a beloved cult classic nearly 40 years after its release… and after you listen to this fun episode, you'll remember exactly why! Why did author William Goldman and director Rob Reiner have to fight so hard to bring this fractured fairy tale to the silver screen? What sword-fighting mishap landed Cary Elwes in the hospital? Why was the character of Inigo Montoya so personal to Mandy Patinkin, remaining his favorite role to this day? And what famous athlete-turned-actor almost played the role of the lovable Fezzik in Andre the Giant's place? We discuss all this and so much more! So if you're in the mood to revisit a nostalgic film that will have you rooting for true love, a son seeking revenge on his father's killer, and classic tales of romance and adventure, then as you wish.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.  How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe!

You count aloud the seconds as the clock approaches midnight of New Year's Eve, watching the massive, twinkling ball lower in One Times Square. At midnight you share a kiss with a loved one, then sing along to a rousing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne.” This is what you do to welcome every New Year. The question is: Why? In this lively episode we first touch on a few customs followed in other countries before delving into the history behind 4 of America's most common New Year's traditions. What ban imposed by the city of New York actually led to the very first ball drop on January 31, 1907? How did the advent of electricity help the tradition of kissing at midnight gain in popularity? How did “Auld Lang Syne,” a song (and poem) dating back to the 1700s in Scotland, become so popular in the U.S.? And why do so many of us make… and abandon… New Year's resolutions every year?  Resolve to say hello to 2025 with your Scandal Water friends as they explore these fun New Year's traditions!  Or find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.  MID-ROLL AD: Send your shout-outs to ScandalWaterPodcast@gmail.com and you could hear your voice in one of our upcoming episodes!    How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe!

Son of a Nutcracker! That's what you'll be saying if you miss this celebration of the beloved  2003 Christmas classic “Elf” starring Will Ferrell.  With the media attention surrounding the return of “Elf: The Musical” to Broadway– and fan favorite Sean Astin in the role of Santa– what better time to revisit the film that first introduced us to the lovable Buddy the Elf? What classic holiday movie did the makers of “Elf” model after so closely, at one point the legal team almost halted their production? Why were some of the studio execs leery of casting Will Ferrell as Buddy, and what other actors were considered? How did director Jon Favreau create nearly all the special effects without the use of CGI? And why has there never been a sequel? Only a cotton-headed ninny muggins would miss this episode in which we discuss all this and more!  Or find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.  Thank you to Keith for his top-of-the-show shoutout & for his commercial participation!  MID-ROLL AD: Join us every Tuesday for new episodes of Scandal Water!!  Music Used: We Wish You a Merry Christmas, purchased at www.freepd.com.    How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe!

It's America's largest home, its grounds were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and it's now the setting of a Hallmark movie! We're talking about Biltmore Estate–“the closest thing Americans have to a royal fairytale castle,” as the Travel Channel puts it. How did this privately owned estate evolve from a bachelor's country home to one of America's most visited houses–and wineries? What near miss did George and Edith Vanderbilt have with the Titanic? What role did Biltmore play in supporting the community during the Great Depression, WW2, and the current Hurricane Helene recovery efforts? And how does the movie “A Biltmore Christmas” manage to pay homage to both the history of this national landmark and also some of our most beloved Christmas classics?

U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard may not care, but we certainly do! Last week in Part 1 we shared the story behind the making of the 1993 blockbuster “The Fugitive,” an action-packed thriller featuring powerhouse actors Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. A box office hit and critical success when it was released 41 years ago, the film is still highly regarded today, with many ranking the lead actors' performances among their very best.  But what, exactly, is it about this movie that makes it SO good?  That's what Ashley and Candy discuss as they break down one of Ashley's favorite films, “The Fugitive.”  Join the fun as they weigh in on everything from the cast, to the special effects, to the last-minute script changes, and so much more.  Don't let this episode escape you!  Thank you to Kirk for his top-of-the-episode shout out!   MID-ROLL AD: The hunt is on!

Accused of brutally murdering his wife, Dr. Richard Kimble, played by megastar Harrison Ford, is relentlessly pursued by the shrewd and witty U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, played by Tommy Lee Jones.  This is the simple but engaging premise behind the 1993 blockbuster “The Fugitive.”  But what's the story behind the making of this smash hit? That's the question we track down in this episode– the first of a two-part feature on everyone's favorite ‘wrongfully-accused' film, “The Fugitive.” On what true crime case was the original TV series “The Fugitive” allegedly based? How did the movie's plot evolve as it moved through the various screenwriters who worked on it? What impact did Harrison Ford have on the film, and why was he initially reluctant to bring in Tommy Lee Jones? And just how much of the dialogue actually was improvised?  These are just a few of the topics we discuss in this fun behind-the-scenes episode that is anything but hinky!  The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  You can support Scandal Water Podcast by rating, reviewing, and subscribing to the show.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. In last week's episode you heard the tragic story behind the infamous Murder Mansion in Bowling Green, Kentucky.   We walked you through the shocking double-murder case that started with a confession from college student Harry Edward Kilgore, then took the first of many unexpected turns when an alleged accomplice–George Daggitt, a music professor from that same college– was named.  This week we have the privilege to speak with Wes Swietek, author of the book “The Cemetery Road Murders: The Shocking True Tale of Kentucky's Murder Mansion.”  What happened to Harry Kilgore and George Daggitt after the final trial? What was the true story behind the alleged extortion scheme? Did the jury make the right decision regarding George Daggitt's guilt? And what really happened that fateful night in June of 1948 when Charles and Martha Martin were brutally murdered in their own home? We discuss all this and so much more in this lively interview with author Wes Swietek. So be sure to travel to Cemetery Road with us for this glimpse inside the notorious Murder Mansion.   The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  You can support Scandal Water Podcast by rating, reviewing, and subscribing to the show.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised.  Wednesday, June 30, 1948, Dr. Charles Martin and his wife Martha Martin were discovered in the bedroom of their palatial home in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The murder scene was so grisly, the police at first mistakenly believed the elderly couple had been attacked with an ax.  Within days the investigators had a full confession from college student Harry Edward Kilgore, and it seemed a matter of case closed… But they couldn't have been more wrong.  This was just the beginning of the tragic double-murder case detailed in the book “The Cemetery Road Murders: The Shocking True Tale of Kentucky's Murder Mansion” by Wes Swietek.   In this week's episode we walk you through the twists and turns of this true crime case that would end up involving an insanity hearing, a possible love triangle, an extortion scheme, an alleged accomplice, and even more shocking developments.  You won't want to miss this episode! Not only will you be drawn into the intriguing story behind the infamous Murder Mansion, but you'll also be ready for our fascinating interview with author Wes Swietek that drops next Tuesday.   Special thanks to Ann DAngelo for her top-of-the-episode shout out!

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. In March of 1987, an experienced coroner began a routine autopsy on 44-year-old John Powell, who'd spent months in Drake Memorial Hospital after being critically injured in a motorcycle accident. But when the coroner detected a subtle smell similar to that of burnt almonds, he suddenly realized Mr. Powell had not died of injuries related to the accident… he'd been murdered with cyanide. This discovery was only the first step in a chain of events that ultimately led to the capture of Donald Harvey, a serial killer who operated in three different hospitals in Kentucky and Ohio between 1970-1987. Dubbed the Angel of Death, Harvey was ultimately convicted of killing 37 people, although his actual murder count is believed to be higher. In this episode we discuss the events that transpired– and the people who risked their jobs–in order to end the Angel of Death's horrific murder spree.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. It's widely considered to be the longest and most infamous family feud in American history, providing the inspiration for everything from a popular game show to a Bugs Bunny cartoon and a Pigeon Forge dinner show.  But how much of what we believe to be true about the legendary Hatfield and McCoy family feud is actually myth– or even false impressions created by the media?   That's just one of the many questions we explore in this fascinating episode.  Was it really the notorious hog incident that started the family feud? Were Johnse Hatfield and Roseanna McCoy truly the star-crossed lovers they've been made out to be, and if so, what happened with their romance? What exactly transpired during the brutal New Year's Day Massacre? And just how accurate is the 2012 miniseries starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton? Join us as we discuss all this and so much more!

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. On her very first day of summer vacation, June 1st of 1983, a bright 12-year-old girl with freckles and curly red hair said goodbye to a friend and rode off on her bike alone to travel the short remaining distance to her home. She never made it. To this day, the disappearance of Ann Gotlib, whose bike was found leaning against a pillar outside the Bashford Manor Shopping Center, remains Louisville's oldest missing person's case. And yet, police consider the case closed. This month we return to a focus on local true crime stories with the theme “In Our Own Backyard… Again.” And in this episode we walk through the perplexing case of Ann Gotlib's kidnapping– a tragedy that not only touched an entire community, but also led to some of the important child protection services we have today.

Mamma Mia! It's been 50 years since ABBA, clad in silver platform boots and bright outfits garnished with shiny sequins, won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, effectively catapulting the group toward international superstardom. But at its core, ABBA was about two musically gifted couples who decided to combine their talents. So how did it affect this beloved rock band when several years later, as they were reveling in their success and ‘money, money, money,'  first one couple, and then the second, decided to split?  That's one of the key questions we explore in this nostalgic and lively episode dedicated to one of the most enduring and beloved bands in music history, ABBA. And what better time to pay tribute to the group that created hits like “Fernando” and “Dancing Queen,” sparked a Broadway musical and two films, and in recent years became the subject of a virtual concert experience than on the occasion of this 50th anniversary? No need to take a chance on this episode–it's sure to entertain!

The horse-drawn covered wagon pulls to a stop at the top of a hill. Pa and Ma smile from the wagon seat as they watch their three young girls, clad in petticoats and prairie dresses, scamper down the wildflower-covered slope, little Carrie taking a tumble on the way. If like millions of others you grew up watching “Little House on the Prairie,” chances are you not only visualized the scene being described, but even heard the stirring strains of the theme song playing in your mind. But what you may not realize is that this year– hold onto your bonnet– the beloved TV classic turns 50! In this special Varietea episode we celebrate the 50th anniversary of “Little House on the Prairie” by discussing everything from the show's origins and cast, to fun behind-the-scenes stories and even a few of the controversies that have come to light in more recent years.  So join us for a nostalgic return to Walnut Grove to visit with Half-Pint and the rest of the Ingalls family, along with mean old Nellie Oleson and all the other townspeople you've missed so dearly.  Thank you to Angel for her top-of-the-episode-shout-out!  MID-ROLL AD: Send your shout outs to ScandalWaterPodcast@gmail.com Music “Magic in the Garden” purchased at www.freepd.com The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  You can support Scandal Water Podcast by rating, reviewing, and subscribing to the show.

Elizabeth Taylor is remembered for her legendary screen performances, dedicated activism related to the AIDS cause, and keen business sense. But her accomplishments were sometimes overshadowed by the romantic entanglements of her personal life… relationships that earned her the title 'homewrecker' and at one point prompted the Pope to advocate Elizabeth's children be taken away from her. Our September theme is Breaking Up is Hard to Do, at our listeners' request, and who better to highlight than Hollywood screen star Elizabeth Taylor, who made even breaking up look easy.  Join us as we trace Liz's 8 marriages, including the scandalous affair with Richard Burton that the Pope denounced as “erotic vagrancy,” one relationship that ended due to abuse and another due to death, and the wedding that took place at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch to a man 20 years younger.

On Tuesday, July 24, 1984, a friend discovered 68 year-old Delores Lynch, deceased, on the driveway outside her home. Upon arrival, the police– including Oldham County detective Lynn Nobles–  were surprised to also discover Delores's 39-year-old daughter Janie inside. Both women had died from gunshot wounds that appeared to be from a professional hit.  Before it was all said and done, 7 more would be dead and two families nearly destroyed.  This bizarre and tragic murder case, as detailed by Jerry Bledsoe in his best-selling true crime book “Bitter Blood” and a subsequent 1994 made for TV miniseries, was the subject of a Scandal Water episode last September.  And in today's very special Varietea episode we are proud to share our follow-up interview with the aforementioned detective, Lynn Nobles, who not only worked the Lynch murder investigation from the very beginning, but was also present during that fateful police chase in North Carolina, even sustaining an injury from Fritz Klenner's gunfire.  You won't want to miss this interview during which Lynn walks us through the case from his own first-hand perspective, sharing new insights and clarifying a few points that were missed in the book.  Listen to the interview through your favorite podcast app or *watch* it on the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.   This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence.

“Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” Chances are this summer you can find him– along with many other characters from the famed works of Shakespeare– in the idyllic setting of Central Park in old Louisville, where Candy and Ashley recently enjoyed the renowned Kentucky Shakespeare's Free Festival in Central Park.  In this fun episode we first take a brief look at the Bard himself, William Shakespeare. And while Will is widely believed to be the most famous and most celebrated playwright of all time, you just might be surprised at some of the interesting new details that come to light.  Then with the help of Matt Wallace, Kentucky Shakespeare's Producing Artistic Director, and actors Gregory, Justin, and Mollie, we take you behind the scenes of the Shakespeare Festival. You won't want to miss hearing fascinating insights and first-hand stories directly from the performers themselves.   Finally, we share highlights from Ashley and Candy's field trip to see “Comedy of Errors,” including audience reactions from Kara, Dave, Sally, Fin, Wally, and Sylvia.  To go or not to go… there is no question! Head on over to Kentucky Shakespeare's Free Festival in Central Park, right after you give this episode a listen.

On your mark, get set, BAKE! If that phrase sounds familiar–and you avoid soggy bottoms like the plague– there's a good chance you're already a fan of “The Great British Baking Show.” But what is it that sets this particular show– called “The Great British Bake-Off” in the UK– apart from the American ones produced on the other side of the pond? That's just one of the many questions we explore in this scrumptious episode!  What caused the original hosts, Mel and Sue, and original judge Mary Berry to leave the show? What rigorous audition process do would-be contestants have to undergo in order to be selected? What interesting behind-the-scenes stories have former contestants shared? And what prize does the winning baker receive?

Her first acting job was with Dame Judi Dench; Cillian Murphy has called her a phenomenal actress; and she's married to the actor behind everyone's favorite prankster on “The Office.” The woman in question is none other than Emily Blunt, one of the most popular and versatile actresses in Hollywood today. But how did Emily's issue with stuttering as a child actually lead her toward a career in acting? What role did Emily play in helping an acclaimed actor move from co-star to brother-in-law? What was it like to have her husband direct her in the “A Quiet Place” movies?  And how is it that Emily's resume now not only lists actress and singer, but also executive producer of a Western?

He has over 80 million books in print, he claims Stephen King as a close friend and Dan Brown as a frat brother, and if you've been on Netflix in the past 6 years, you've no doubt seen trailers for one of his suspenseful and very successful television series. The man in question is best-selling author and television producer Harlan Coben… who also happens to be the focus of this listener-suggested episode!  How did Harlan move from basketball player to travel agent to best-selling author? Why does the novelist prefer to write about disappearance rather than murder, and how does Harlan come up with the premise behind thrillers like “Fool Me Once”? In real life, is Harlan anything like the famous Myron Bolitar character he created?  And why exactly ARE there so many Harlan Coben original series on Netflix?  Don't let us keep you in suspense… join us for this intriguing episode on the man who has taken Netflix by storm, Harlan Coben.  The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  *A big thank you to Rebekah for the listener suggestion and to Dawn for her listener shout out!  MID-ROLL AD: Thank you to Jill for her ongoing support through BuyMeaCoffee!

Teenagers with attitude, cool dinozords that combined to transform into a powerful robotic Megazord, and alien villains in spandex. What was there NOT to love about the “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?”  Go, go! with us back to Angel Grove in the year of 1993 when the original Power Rangers were first recruited by Zordon to take on the evil Rita Repulsa. In this fun episode we'll explore how the phenomenon of the Power Rangers first began.  How was the show created as a mash-up of an American cast performing a new storyline combined with battle footage from a popular Japanese show? What challenges did the actors have to face in the audition process? Why has there been such a big turnover with the Power Rangers cast over the years? And is there any truth to the rumored Power Ranger Curse? These are just a few of the questions we discuss in this Morphinominal episode!

Say the name Jim Henson, and many people immediately picture a wise and lovable green frog sitting on a log, singing about rainbows. But the genius of Jim Henson extends even further than his creation of a whole new form of puppetry, the Muppets, and countless individual characters– like Kermit and Miss Piggy– that are beloved by young and old alike. And that's what we explore in this fun episode. What circumstances led Jim to create the Muppets, and who was his often uncredited partner in the work? Back in the late 60s, how did the Muppets become involved with a ground-breaking new children's show called “Sesame Street?” What role, if any, did Jim play in bringing Yoda to life? And why do some of the “The Muppet Show” episodes now start with a warning message? We discuss all this and so much more! This episode is for the lovers, dreamers, and any person who has ever smiled at the wit and wisdom of a Muppets character. Please join us. MID-ROLL AD: In our June minisode, Ashley and Candy share a few highlights from their own summer trips… ones that extend from the heights of a castle to the bottom of a canyon! We love sipping the tea with you every week and hope you enjoy this brief, personal glimpse into our private lives.

It's an animated TV show, targeted to preschool children, that centers around a puppy named Bluey, her younger sister Bingo, and her parents, Bandit and Chilli. Each episode runs approximately 7 minutes. Sounds like a simple concept, right? And yet the show “Bluey,” which first aired in Australia in 2018, is now not only a smash hit, it is a true global phenomenon. But what is about “Bluey” that has made it so wildly popular –and not just with children, but also their parents?  In this fun episode, we explore that question by digging into the origins of “Bluey,” some of the key features that set it apart from other children's shows, the genius behind the casting choices, and so much more! We even ask the parents of a toddler– all three avid “Bluey” fans– to weigh in with a few of their thoughts.  So save yourself an “Oh, biscuits!” moment and be sure to join us as we visit everyone's favorite Blue Heeler, “Bluey.”  The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.  *A big thank you to Morgan and Michael for their audio clip, and to Katie & Zoey for their shout-out and episode introduction.  You can support Scandal Water Podcast by rating, reviewing, and subscribing to the show.
