Part 3 is where the conversation takes a sharp turn into the mechanics of power. We start with Josh asking the uncomfortable question: if PSA can decertify slabs selectively, what happens when they own Beckett too? From there, it spirals into the real stuff collectors argue about behind the scenes but rarely say out loud. This episode is part hobby debate, part reality check, and part rant. It also includes one of the most memorable analogies of the entire emergency stream: PSA upcharges as “insurance premiums” paid by someone else. Highlights in Part 3 include: The decertification question: what PSA can do, what they won't do, and why it matters The real concern: what happens to Beckett slabs if the brand is sunsetted Why job cuts at Beckett are basically guaranteed if Collectors is building toward an IPO Will submissions slow down, or does demand stay bulletproof no matter what happens A blunt take on phantom POPs, resubmissions, and why pop reports mislead collectors The PSA upcharge rant: who pays, who benefits, and why the buyer wins Whether standardization in grading would help collectors or expose the whole system Registry culture, resale pressure, and why many collectors chase holders over cards The future question: machine-driven grading, consistency, and what it could do to premiums The Black Label premium debate and why some buyers pay like the number is the card The punchline: grading isn't a scam, but it can still be a sham Part 3 is where the episode stops being about “PSA bought Beckett” and becomes a broader argument about what grading has turned the hobby into.

On February 2, 2008, 24-year-old real estate agent Lindsay Buziak went to show a house in a quiet Canadian neighborhood. She never made it out alive.What should have been a routine afternoon showing turned into one of the most chilling and carefully planned murders in modern true crime — involving fake buyers, prepaid phones, daylight witnesses, and a crime scene that left almost no answers behind.In this episode of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel is joined by Geisha and Azzilee to walk through the Lindsay Buziak case step by step — from the phone calls that set the trap, to the couple seen near the house, to the unanswered questions that still haunt investigators and the public more than a decade later.This isn't a story about panic or chaos. It's a story about planning, silence, and how someone can disappear without consequence.

This week on Comics and Chronic we discuss Dark Horse's Helen of Wyndhorn by Tom King & art by Bilquis Evely & colors by Matheus Lopes. “Following the tragic death of her late father C.K. Cole, the esteemed pulp writer and creator of the popular warrior character Othan, Helen Cole is called back to her Grandfather's enormous and Illustrious estate, Wyndhorn House. Scarred by Cole's untimely passing and lost in a new, strange world, Helen wreaks drunken havoc upon her arrival. However, her chaotic ways begin to soften as she discovers a lifetime of secrets hiding within the myriad rooms and hallways of the expansive manor. For outside its walls, within the woods, dwell the legendary adventures that once were locked away within her father's stories.” But first, Cody gets into his onesie to prepare for the cold.  Jake wants to see people struggle.  Are we planning to cover Batman No Man's Land for Bat-March 2026.  Little Women is a great comfort movie. Was the new Wicked a major step down? Cody confuses his Asian actresses; Jake doesn't fair much better.  Does the story being told from a character's POV who wasn't involved in the adventures take away from it? How does this compare to Supergirl: Woman of Tomrorow? Who would we cast in a live-action version of this comic? Does this book show how fairy tales come to be passed on from word of mouth?  Also RIP to Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Are Comics and Chronic going to start their own Black Label episodes?  Do we want to see a sequel to this book?  Is the art a perfect 6 but the story lacks?  Listen now to find out!Check out the Kickstarter pre-launch page for Superguy issue #2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrtonynacho/superguy-2-my-date-with-the-presidents-daughter?ref=creator_tab⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

Lately, gaming feels… different.In Episode 81 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel and Geisha sit down for an honest, no-rant conversation about burnout — not just from competitive or live-service games, but from modern gaming as a whole.We talk about why starting a game can feel harder than playing it, why even cozy games don't always hit the way they used to, how decision fatigue and constant engagement systems quietly drain excitement, and why so many players keep going back to older games for comfort.This episode isn't about saying games are bad now — it's about understanding why so many of us feel tired, overwhelmed, and disconnected from something we still love.If you've ever opened your library and thought, “Nothing sounds right,” this one's for you.

It's the opening segment of Sports Cards Live Episode 295 (streamed December 20, 2025). We kick things off with Jeremy and Joe Poirot, reacting to the newest twist in the PSA Beckett story: a U.S. congressman urging the FTC to investigate Collectors Holdings and its acquisitions. Then we bring in Chris Sewell to dig into what this could mean for grading competition, pricing, and the hobby's confidence in the “big three” becoming one portfolio. In this episode: The FTC pressure: what an antitrust investigation could actually change (or not) Why “monopoly” is the word everyone is thinking, even if the legal definition is messier The biggest unknown: what does Collectors do with Beckett long-term The BGS 9.5, Pristine 10, and Black Label issue living under the same umbrella as PSA PR vs reality: “broom closet” fears after what happened to SGC's momentum Grading trust fatigue and why the hobby feels more on edge right now Chris Sewell joins and we talk Hobby Spectrum results, Builders, and what the early directory is showing Keep up with Sports Cards Live: Catch the Saturday night live show on YouTube and join the chat, your questions are always in play Subscribe so you don't miss breaking hobby news, emergency streams, and guest-heavy episodes Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts If you're enjoying these five-part drops, leave a rating and a quick review, it helps more collectors find the show Learn more about your ad choices.

Jiunn, Seth, John and Aaron discuss their review experience with the Black Label Trading Co. Eletto Toro https://developingpalates.com/reviews/cigar-reviews/team-cigar-review-black-label-trading-co-eletto-toro/

진행자: 박준희, Chelsea ProctorHow a Shinsegae heiress became K-pop's most-watched rookie기사 요약: 대부분의 K팝 아이돌이 평범한 가정에서 오랜 연습생 생활 끝에 데뷔하는 것과 달리, 신세계 가문 출신인 애니는 ‘재벌가 아이돌'이라는 이색적인 이력으로 특별한 주목을 받고 있다.[1] Born into the Shinsegae family, which controls one of South Korea's largest retail empires, Annie is the granddaughter of Shinsegae Group chair Lee Myung-hee and the eldest daughter of company president Chung Yoo-kyung. Lee, the youngest daughter of the late Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul, is also the aunt of current Samsung chairman Lee Jae-yong.*retail: 소매*empire: 제국*eldest: 가장 나이가 많은*current: 현재의; 지금의[2] Annie, the first known chaebol heiress to enter the K-pop industry, drew widespread attention long before her official debut. News that she was training under The Black Label went viral in February 2024, putting her in the public eye months ahead of schedule.*heiress: (특히 상당한 재산의) 여자 상속인, 상속녀*widespread: 광범위한, 널리 퍼진*viral: (인터넷을 통한) 입소문의, (인터넷을 통해 바이러스처럼) 급속히 번지는*public eye: 대중의 시선, 관심이 집중되는 상태[3] She has been active as a performer for a little over a year, and appears to have made a strong entry — particularly in South Korea, where chaebol families have long been viewed with skepticism over their wealth, influence and tight control of corporate management.*active: 활동하는, 활동적인*performer: 공연하는 사람*skepticism: 회의론* wealth: 부, 재산[4] Unlike most K-pop rookies — who begin training in their childhood or early teens, come from modest backgrounds and spend years in rigorous training -- Annie's upbringing was different. She received an elite education -- as other chaebol kids do -- but her passion for K-pop was the same as ordinary would-be idols.*rookie: 신인*modest: 겸손한, 수수한*rigorous: 엄격한*upbringing: 양육, (가정) 교육, 성장 과정기사 원문: https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10628757[코리아헤럴드 팟캐스트 구독]아이튠즈(아이폰):https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2네이버 오디오 클립(아이폰, 안드로이드 겸용): https://audioclip.naver.com/channels/5404팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638

The Game Awards are more than just trophies... they're a snapshot of where gaming is headed.In Episode 80 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee break down The Game Awards by focusing on what actually mattered: the wins that felt right, the snubs that sparked debate, and the reveals that completely hijacked the conversation.We talk about why some awards still hold weight, why others always divide the community, and how certain games managed to stand out in a crowded show. We also dive into the game that stole the night, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and why its style, confidence, and originality immediately put it on everyone's radar.This isn't a category-by-category recap. It's a conversation about the moments, games, and decisions that shaped the show... and what they tell us about the future of gaming.

Iba tocando otra de nuestras sesiones dobles bimestrales y para hoy dos tebeos completamente distintos con la única característica común de que en los títulos de ambos tenemos la palabra «Night». Comenzamos con Night Fever, de Ed Brubaaker y los Phillips, nuestra muchachada noir particular, en una historia de hace un par de años sobre lo que sucede cuando un señor bastante anodino, frustrado y con una galopante crisis de la mediana edad, decide que está en el sitio y el momento indicado para ser otra cosa. Un poco más atrás, a 2017, nos vamos con Nightwing: El nuevo orden, justo un eslabón perdido entre Elseworlds y Black Label a cargo de Kyle Higgins y Trevor McCarthy con el bueno de Dick Grayson haciendo cosas tal vez no tan buenas en un mundo donde se abolen los superpoderes. Un clic al play y empezamos. La noche es caliente como el infierno. Todo se te pega. Una asquerosa habitación de un asqueroso barrio de una asquerosa ciudad. El aparato de aire acondicionado es un pedazo de chatarra que no podría enfriar ni una bebida aunque la metieras dentro. Parece el sitio perfecto para escuchar el podcast 397 de ELHDLT Selección musical: 🎶 Night Fever, de Bee Gees 🎶 N.W.O. , de Ministry 🎶 Night Fever, de Bossanatics y Ana Costa (Bee Gees cover)

Gabriel Hardman, Writer/Artist, Creator and Storyboard Artist, returns to the podcast to help us discuss the first issue of his new DC title, Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia. We learn about how these characters come together for a new era, how the Black Label format can enhance storytelling, and praise the stunning artwork. We also discuss the early days of Live TV, Bruno Premiani on Doom Patrol, listen to stories from Spider-Man 3, Logan and other movies and so much more. (1:44:23)

Jennifer Pan was the perfect daughter, until the night she staged a home invasion that left her mother dead and her father fighting for his life. What happened inside that quiet suburban home? And how did a lifetime of pressure, lies, and secrecy turn into one of the most shocking murder plots in Canadian history?In this episode, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee break down the Jennifer Pan case across 15 fully narrated segments, from her double life, to the staged crime scene, to the interrogation that unraveled everything.We explore:The “perfect daughter” mythThe lies Jennifer built her world onThe psychological pressure behind the crimeThe investigation that exposed her planThe verdict, aftermath, and long-term falloutThis is one of the most disturbing and complex family murder cases we've ever covered... a story where nothing is as it seems, and every answer leads to another impossible question.

Christmas Eve is supposed to be a night full of warmth, family, laughter, and memories… but on December 24th, 2008, one Covina home became the site of one of California's most heartbreaking holiday tragedies.In this episode, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee walk you through the story of the Ortega family... a close-knit, generous, beloved family celebrating Christmas like millions of people do every yea and the man who turned their celebration into devastation.We break down: • Who Bruce Pardo really was • How months of planning led to the attack • The chaos inside the home as the shooting and fire unfolded • The survivors who fought through flames and gunfire • The manhunt across Southern California • Bruce Pardo's final moments • A detailed look at the victims, their lives, and their legacy • How the Covina community came together to heal • What this tragedy teaches us about family, love, and the fragility of lifeThis is a heavy episode,  but it's an important one.And it's a reminder to appreciate the people you love, especially during the holidays.Listen to Co-op Chronicles on:

In this interview, comic-book veteran Gabriel Hardman takes us behind the scenes of his bold, new four-issue miniseries Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia — out now under DC Comics' Black Label. We break down why Bruce Wayne, Green Arrow, and The Question are teaming up now; what “Arcadia” represents; and how Hardman's decades-long dream project finally came together. What You'll LearnHow a teenage Hardman first pictured this trio working together — and why he waited until now to tell their story. The dystopian, climate-aware premise: “Arcadia,” a floating, climate-hardened city off Greenland's coast — and the darker truths lurking beneath its utopian veneer. What sets this series apart: a hard-boiled, character-driven thriller that updates the spirit of ‘80s–‘90s vigilante stories for modern times.Key themes: power, corruption, moral gray zones, and what justice really means when institutions — and heroes — are compromised.

For this Thanksgiving-week DC Spotlight covering the books of November 26, 2025, Jace and Rocky tackle one of the biggest slates of the year and find a lively mix of event chaos, holiday charm, grounded character work, and absolute-universe bombast, even as they debate whether the buzz around the Absolute line and DC KO is starting to overshadow the strong "regular" DC books. They unpack how Superman #32 quietly becomes one of the most essential KO tie-ins by finally revealing how the villains escaped the Phantom Zone and entered the tournament; how Flash #27 and Justice League Unlimited provide fun but mixed connective tissue to KO; and how Christopher Condon's Green Arrow #30 delivers another emotional gut-punch of Ollie, Roy, and Lian's family drama as the run nears its end. They also spotlight the gritty precision of Gabriel Hardman's new Black Label debut Arcadia with Batman, Green Arrow, and the Question, revisit the escalating mystery in Immortal Legend: Batman, cheer on the kaiju spectacle of Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, and take a surprisingly deep dive into the holiday anthology I Saw Ma Hunkel Kissing Santa Claus, praising the meta-hilarious Animal Man riff, the charming Supergirl/Brainiac 5 romance, and a Dr. Light/Atom story that may even seed future key elements. But the episode ultimately belongs to the Absolute Universe, with the guys debating what works in Absolute Wonder Woman #14 before completely losing their minds over Absolute Batman #14, a gloriously unhinged action-packed fight finale to the Abomination arc filled with skyscraper-dropping theatrics, venom-fueled warfare, Killer Croc callbacks, and a chilling Joker twist that redefines Bane's future. They celebrate Nick Dragotta's wildly ambitious layouts—now finally earning the industry recognition his East of West work always deserved—while reflecting on how the issue crystallizes what makes this version of Batman so different: a hero who fights not to win, but because fighting is the point. The episode wraps with their week-end rankings, teases of upcoming Fireside Chats, YouTube shout-outs, and a Thanksgiving sendoff that doubles as a rallying cry for the week's standout title: "Welcome to Gotham."

[Part 2 of 2]On February 24th, 2005, nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford vanished from her bedroom in Homosassa, Florida—taken through an unlocked door while her family slept. The girl who was afraid of the dark, who couldn't sleep without her stuffed purple dolphin, was about to become the center of one of the most heartbreaking cases in American true crime history.Jessica was a cheerful third-grader who loved singing, helping others, and spending time with her dachshund, Corky. She lived with her father Mark and grandparents Ruth and Archie in a small community where neighbors knew each other. The night she disappeared, she'd just returned from church, been tucked into bed by her grandmother, and fell asleep clutching her favorite toy. By morning, both Jessica and her dolphin were gone.This case matters because it exposed critical failures in sex offender monitoring and directly resulted in Jessica's Law—legislation that now protects children across the United States with mandatory minimum sentences and lifetime electronic monitoring for predators.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of child abduction, sexual assault, and murder. It includes graphic details about the victim's captivity and death.

One of Japan's most chilling unsolved cases wasn't a murder… it was a psychological war. This week, we dive into the unbelievable true story of The Monster With 21 Faces, a taunting villain group that kidnapped a CEO, poisoned candy, humiliated police, and held an entire country hostage without ever showing their faces.No brutality. No gore. Just pure fear, strategy, and a criminal mastermind that seemed to vanish into thin air.In this immersive cinematic breakdown, Blacklabel leads Geisha and Azzilee through every twist: the CEO kidnapping, the escape nobody saw coming, the poisoned Morinaga candy, the fox-eyed suspect, the mocking letters, and the heartbreaking fallout that still haunts Japan today.This is a case where the villain didn't need violence to be terrifying, just intelligence, audacity, and a chilling ability to disappear.

Apopka, Florida. October 30, 1990. When 10-year-old Christine McGowan's stepfather entered her bedroom to wake her for school—he found her lifeless body face down in bed, the sheets beneath her soaked in blood. The door to their home stood slightly ajar. His white construction truck—keys left in the ignition the night before—had vanished.Christine McGowan was a blonde-haired child who spent her afternoons watching her neighbor at The Lighthouse Mission halfway house craft decorative wooden boats. She stood in the autumn sun asking if she could watch him work, fascinated by his woodworking skill. She had no way of knowing that Elmer Leon Carroll—the seemingly harmless craftsman next door—was a twice-convicted child molester living under pastoral supervision. On the night of October 29, 1990, as an unseasonable cold front brought 40-degree temperatures and 45 mph winds to central Florida, Carroll's schizophrenic delusions reached a breaking point. Witnesses at Lockahart Tavern watched him drink beer after beer, wrapping his jacket around a chair and holding long conversations with it about demons, devils, and the coming apocalypse. Hours later, he entered the McGowan home through an unlocked door.This case exposes the catastrophic failures of Florida's 1990s halfway house system and sex offender monitoring. Carroll had served less than two years of a six-year sentence for child molestation, then served just over seven years for a second offense—both times released with minimal supervision directly into residential neighborhoods. The Lighthouse Mission placed a known predator with untreated severe mental illness next door to a family with a young daughter. The investigation moved swiftly—Carroll was apprehended within hours after stealing the family's truck—but the preventable nature of Christine's death haunted the community for years. Her case became a catalyst for examining how convicted sex offenders with documented psychiatric disorders were supervised after release.This episode contains detailed discussion of child sexual assault, graphic autopsy testimony, and descriptions of fatal violence against a child. This content may be disturbing. Listener discretion is strongly advised.Key Details:The Investigation: Wildlife officer Carl Young spotted Carroll walking on State Road 520 away from the stolen truck just hours after the murder. A box cutter, razor blade, and keys matching the stolen vehicle were found in his possession.Forensic Evidence: Medical examiner Dr. Thomas Hegert testified that Christine died from asphyxiation due to manual strangulation—a process taking 3-4 minutes during which she remained conscious for 1-2 minutes. The autopsy revealed severe sexual trauma and blunt force injury to her head.The Penalty Phase: The jury recommended death by unanimous 12-0 vote. Carroll was executed on May 29, 2013—nearly 23 years after Christine's murder. He refused to make a final statement and avoided eye contact with Christine's family members who watched him die.Resources: If you or someone you know has experienced childhood sexual abuse, the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline provides confidential 24/7 support at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or online at rainn.org.

Nguyen Dat was born on March 10th 1989. Little is known about him. What is known is that he had several debilitating physical health issues that caused him pain. So much pain that Nguyen depends on his parents. What little work he does is at a fish market. But Nguyen Dat holds a dark secret. The darkest possible secret that would find itself leaked to the internet.Our Sponsors:* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In January 2025, Nguyen Dat, a 35-year-old Vietnamese man living in Ha Dong, voluntarily sought his own execution—fulfilling a years-long sexual obsession with decapitation. Through extreme pornography forums and dating apps, Nguyen publicly advertised his desire to be beheaded, eventually connecting with an unnamed butcher who shared his fatal fetish.The killing occurred between January 25 and February 24, 2025, in a makeshift execution chamber. Graphic video footage—leaked to Vietnamese and Chinese Telegram groups—shows Nguyen's decapitation as he reached sexual climax. The butcher then dismembered his body with professional precision, documenting the process across 11 videos and 98 photographs. Evidence suggests the killer cannibalized Nguyen's remains, cooking parts of his body into Vietnamese dishes. When concerned citizens reported the leaked footage to authorities, they discovered Nguyen had been missing for five years.This case represents only the third confirmed consensual homicide motivated by mutual sexual gratification—and the first where execution footage was publicly leaked. Obscura examines this disturbing intersection of extreme fetishism, voluntary death, and the dark corners of online subcultures where such transactions occur.[BLACK LABEL CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains extremely graphic descriptions of violence, dismemberment, and cannibalism.]Explore more obscure true crime cases at mythsandmalice.com/show/obscura.

Comics writer and cartoonist Kyle Starks joins me to talk about his brand-new Image Comics series, Wrestle Heist — a wild blend of pro-wrestling spectacle and fast-paced crime caper energy. We get into how the idea came together, his trademark mix of humor and heartfelt chaos, and what makes this book stand apart from his previous creator-owned hits.Kyle also discusses his recent work writing Peacemaker for DC's Black Label, sharing how he brought his offbeat humor and emotional grit to one of DC's most unpredictable antiheroes. He teases his upcoming Vertigo series debuting next year, which pushes him into darker, more character-driven territory while still keeping his sharp dialogue and storytelling muscle.Plus, we dig into the next wave of creator-owned projects he's got cooking — from new collaborations to long-planned solo works that show just how versatile and fearless he's become as a writer.

DC Executive Editor Chris Conroy, who works on the Absolute, Black Label, and Vertigo lines at the publisher, joins the podcast to talk about the newly returned Vertigo Comics line. Conroy discusses his Vertigo background, how it changed his reading habits, what led to Vertigo's return, adding clarity to how things work, the evergreen side of DC, the team behind Vertigo, its strategy to creative teams, how they built the line, its aesthetic, balancing the future and the past, the gap between announcements, the line's size, what he wants the line to mean, and more.

From spotting and stalking to mastering the “90/10 rule” for high-probability shots, Dillon Ness shares hard-earned lessons on picking the right terrain, playing the wind, and staying patient with a 25-day season.

Three Key Takeaways Prioritize High-Probability Stalks: Dillon's success comes from choosing terrain and wind conditions that stack the odds, like sage hillsides with prevailing winds, over forcing low-percentage plays in flat, open country. Master the 90/10 Rule: Stalk 90% of the distance to a bull, then let it close the final 10% naturally, avoiding rushed shots or calls that spook big bulls in high-pressure areas. Use Calf Calls Strategically: A panicked calf call can draw in big bulls, especially in chaotic rut scenarios, but avoid over-calling to keep mature bulls unaware until the shot.

In the third installment of our dive into game call makers, today we are joined by the co-owner of Black Label Game Calls. Russell Andrews is also a National Champion caller in many levels including the 2025 NWTF Gobbling Champion and the 2025 World Gobbling Champion. He also shares his testimony of how God has helped him through a trying time in his life.    Russell Andrews, Co-Owner and Operator of Black Label Game Calls, has been a consistent disrupter in the wild game call industry since July of 2022 when he and his partner, Jesse Martin, took their passion and transformed it into a product. When Russell's father was senselessly killed in May 2024 (article featured in “The Call” NWTF magazine), Russell's entire approach to cultivating his business shifted from being sales-focused to using turkey calling to spread the Gospel. Russell turned to his turkey calling family through all of the grief and anger, and poured his efforts into preparing for turkey calling contests, winning the Gobbling division of both the 2025 NWTF Grand National Calling Contest and the 2025 World Turkey Calling Contest. Russell's mission is very simple now — carry out the Great Commission using the platform that Black Label Game Calls has built.     www.blacklabelgamecalls.com www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

In December 1984, a man walked into a karate dojo in Dumfries, Virginia. Minutes later, he was dragged out the back door, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. Decades later, the grainy footage of his brutal beating would reemerge on YouTube, igniting a firestorm of outrage, speculation—and questions that remain unanswered to this day.In this Black Label episode of Obscura, Justin Drown unpacks the haunting story behind what came to be known as the "Kung Fu Guy Incident." At the center is Bobby Joe Blythe—a self-styled sensei with a history of violent stunts and a doctrine that turned martial arts into a license for cruelty. What happened inside that dojo wasn't a demonstration. It was an orchestrated attack on a mentally ill man, all filmed, narrated, and later uploaded by the very man who allowed it to happen.This is not a tale of ancient discipline or honor. It's the story of power abused, a life discarded, and a justice system left paralyzed by the absence of a name. No arrest. No trial. No confirmed identity for the victim—only the echo of his last words and the sound of boots on concrete.Listener discretion is strongly advised. The audio in this episode is graphic. The subject matter is disturbing. But the story must be told.Join me on Black Label at https://www.patreon.com/c/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Head to https://homeaglow.com/OBSCURA to get your first 3 hours of cleaning for only $19.

Anchorage wakes to the knock that ends the hunt: October 27, 1983, troopers arrive at Hansen's bakery, and an interrogation room papered with maps and faces waits for him. Search warrants turn his life inside out—an aerial map etched with 24 Xs, hidden firearms, and jewelry that speaks for the dead. Ballistics tell the rest: shell casings match the Ruger Mini-14, and those Xs resolve into graves in the wild. From a 12-hour confession to a grim helicopter tour that yields new remains—including the victim dubbed “Horseshoe Harriet”—Obscura threads meticulous police work with the voices too long ignored. The gavel falls—461 years plus life—and the cold Alaskan air still carries the names of the missing.Join Black Label on Patreon to unlock our entire back catalog ad-free, plus every Black Label premium episode: https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Anchorage's pipeline boom promised prosperity, but under the neon and snow, someone was hunting. In this episode, we revisit the disappearances of young women—Megan Emerick, Mary Phil, Roxanne Eastland, and more—whose lives were too easily dismissed as the city looked the other way. Through survivor testimony, including Cindy Paulson's harrowing escape, we chart the failures that let a predator thrive and the dogged investigators who refused to let the case go cold. Forensic breakthroughs and psychological profiling peel back the mask of Robert Hansen, the “Butcher Baker,” revealing calculation where others saw banality. Obscura's trademark approach—unflinching, empathetic, and meticulously sourced—honors the victims while mapping the long, frozen road to justice.Join Black Label on Patreon to unlock our entire back catalog ad-free, plus every Black Label premium episode: https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Anchorage during the oil boom promised quick money and fresh starts—but the wilderness kept its own secrets. In this episode, we trace the disappearances of young women drawn north by opportunity, and the investigators who fought isolation, scarce resources, and a chilling pattern surfacing in the tundra. At the center stands Robert Hansen, the seemingly ordinary baker whose long shadow fell over a city in rapid transformation. Through survivor voices, case files, and methodical police work, we reconstruct how the truth closed in—without losing sight of the lives behind the headlines. Dark, patient, and unflinching, this is Obscura at its most atmospheric.Join Black Label on Patreon to unlock our entire back catalog ad-free, plus every Black Label premium episode: https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://www.avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Not long after 9 PM on that Sunday night, in the sleepy new-build development of Dragon Rise, the back door security light of Jennifer and Stephen Chapple's home flicked on. Their two boys aged 5 and 6 years old had been put to bed hours before and were sleeping soundly upstairs.36-year-old Stephen was a well-loved IT teacher at West Somerset College. It was a secondary school in Minehead in Somerset, 23 miles away from his home in Dragon Rise. His wife 33-year-old Jennifer worked as a Customer Service Advisor at the coffee shop of the popular Otter Garden Centre in Norton Fitzwarren. At that time on a Sunday night, they were probably thinking about preparing for bed themselves. They had no idea what was about to explode into their home.Join our Black Label at https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcast to unlock the full ad-free catalog of Obscura Episodes AND Black Label premium episodes.Our Sponsors:* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Listener, the story I am about to tell you is about greed, power and control exerted in the coldest way imaginable. On a normal day in July 2015 in Escambia County, Florida, three members of the same family got up in the morning and set about their daily routine. They didn't know the brutality that was going to be rained on them, snatching away their lives before the day was done.Join me on Black Label at https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Since the late 90s Khan Tusion has held the crown as the boogie man of the adult industry. He showed up in 1999 and immediately made a stamp as being particularly cruel. It was the dot com boom and adult websites were created in the thousands. Khan specialized in pushing limits and avoiding consent. Women showed up to shoots only to leave crying and traumatized. Khan Tusion would punch, kick, slap, and strangle.Join Black Label at https://www.patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcastOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Chime: https://chime.com/OBSCURA* Check out Mood and use my code OBSCURA for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/obscura-a-true-crime-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
