Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don't ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.  Apparently, Reagan was *obsessed* with jelly beans. I guess he started eating them as a way to quit smoking. He swapped cigarettes for jelly beans. Inspired.  But once he was hooked, he never looked back. There were jelly beans on Air Force One. Jelly beans in the Oval Office. Jelly beans sent to space with astronauts, I am not joking.  At this point I stumbled onto a quote about his wife, Nancy Reagan, and let me just say...America may have called her the First Lady, but Hollywood had a slightly different title for her. If you know, you know. So today, I've got quite a story for you. Blow jobs, secret weapon deals, astrology, and a very intense power couple.  This man ignored a literal pandemic, while letting his wife schedule national security briefings based on his horoscope. So join me for the Dark History of Ronald Reagan. Let's get into it. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  The other day I was craving a big fat bowl of Honey Smacks cereal with whole milk. When I was a kid, that was luxury to me. But I hadn't had them in forever so I didn't even know if they were still around.  You know me - I googled “HONEY SMACKS… DISCONTINUED??” Good news, they're around. Bad news… I found out about Kellogg's, the company that makes them, has been in some hot water lately.  We all know inflation sucks and it's affecting *everything*, especially food prices. Tons of families across America are struggling to put food on the table.  So the media asked a Kelloggs CEO for his reaction on that. And his response? He essentially said, [SARCASTIC] “MAYBE THEY SHOULD EAT CEREAL FOR DINNER.”  Awkward. But this did get me thinking - why *do* we eat cereal for breakfast? Well I looked into it, and I stumbled into the world of John Harvey Kellogg, the man behind Kelloggs. And my mind was blown.  Because behind that sweet little box of Honey Smacks is a freaky origin story. We're talkin' culty health retreats, yogurt enemas, and a crusade against masturbation.  So buckle up if you dare, for the Dark History of …Kelloggs.  I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.

At 9:04 a.m., Halifax was torn apart in an instant. One moment it was a thriving wartime city, the next, it was fire, thunder, and ruin. A fireball as hot as the surface of the sun ignited the harbour. Shockwaves ripped through homes and streets. A wall of water followed, drowning what the flames had spared. In this second part of our two-part series, we return to the stories of Francis Mackey, Vincent Coleman, and Kaye Chapman as we explore the devastation that unfolded in the hours and days after the blast. Entire neighbourhoods vanished. Families were torn apart. The city would never be the same. The scars of the Halifax Explosion were not only etched into people, buildings, and the landscape. Something less tangible was also left behind. For over a century, ghost stories have circulated through the city, many tied directly to that morning. At St. Paul's, a shattered window still carries the outline of a figure who looked toward the harbour at the fatal moment. At the Five Fishermen Restaurant, once a morgue overwhelmed with the dead, staff still hear voices and see a bearded man vanish into thin air. These hauntings are part of Halifax's inheritance. The spirits of December 6, 1917 linger, a spectral imprint of a tragedy that reshaped the city forever. Step into the ruins, hear stories of survival, and of those that still linger.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Listen… I know it's not *officially* Fall yet, okay? But we all know Fall means Halloween, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I wanted to get started celebrating a little early this year.  I did a soft launch on my decorations. Put out a few pumpkins and spider webs. The crows in my backyard approved.

I found out the last Conjuring movie was coming out and I was so excited.  This one is all about Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists behind all the other Conjuring movies.

Today, we are proud to present an episode by one of our fabulous Umbrella Podcast Collective members-Rob of Dark History. You've heard us talk about the Portland Shanghai Tunnels before, now go even deeper. Check it out! In this gripping episode of The Dark History Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most chilling and overlooked forms of human trafficking in history: shanghaiing. From the mid-1800s to the early 20th century, thousands of men were abducted from port cities like Portland, San Francisco, and Liverpool—drugged, beaten, or tricked into signing forged contracts, only to wake up trapped aboard ships bound for Asia. This wasn’t just the work of shady criminals in back alleys. It was a full-blown industry. Crimps, saloon keepers, hotel owners, and even police officers played their part, all for a quick payout. Some victims were lured by the promise of work or a warm bed. Others were dropped through trapdoors into underground tunnels and chained in holding cells until a ship was ready. Few escaped. Most were never seen again. You’ll hear the real names behind the crimes, like the notorious “Bunko” Kelly, who once claimed to have sold a ship a crew of corpses. We'll uncover how this brutal system thrived in plain sight for decades, and how changing laws, technology, and public outrage eventually brought it down. This isn’t the maritime adventure story you’ve been told. It’s about organised trafficking, greed, and the silent suffering of thousands who were stolen from familiar streets and forced into a life at sea. The legacy of shanghaiing lives on in the sealed trapdoors and forgotten tunnels beneath modern cities. If you're fascinated by the dark undercurrents of history—the parts that rarely make it into textbooks—this episode is a must-listen.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I always wanted to date Robbie Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Anyone else? [CRICKETS] So whenever I drive by a Sinclair gas station, you know, the one with the dinosaur logo? I always think of him. His spiky hair. That letterman jacket.  I don't care that he was a foam puppet. I was eight and I knew what I wanted. And what I wanted… was Robbie.  I was so distracted by my thoughts of Robbie that I never realized Sinclair Oil had a dark secret. And the whole time it was hiding in plain sight.  Back in the 1920s, oil was the new gold. Because out of nowhere, all of a sudden, everything was running on it. Literally. Cars and airplanes were taking over. And if World War 1 taught us anything, it was that we needed an emergency stash of oil for the military… Just in case.  It was like a gold rush… but with oil. And when there's money on the table, somebody's gonna get greedy. This is how a *huge*  government scandal happened. I'm talking corruption, shady deals, and millions of dollars stuffed into a black briefcase.  Today we're diving into one of the dirtiest scandals in U.S. history.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I don't know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I'm looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don't mind, I love buying baby stuff. It's so little and cute.  But lately, I've noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby's butt aren't cold.  There's toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby's mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of?? The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better?  Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them.  And with new baby products popping up every day, I'm wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past?  I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you're a parent or not.

Devil's Den Killer-Teacher's Dark History With Students Will SHOCK You! Before he was accused of a brutal double murder at Devil's Den, James Andrew McGann was a teacher—and his alleged behavior in the classroom has left many former students and parents deeply disturbed. In this episode, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski is joined by former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to unpack what we now know about McGann's troubling track record in schools across multiple states. Why did McGann bounce from district to district? Why were serious concerns about his interactions with students never formally reported to law enforcement? As Coffindaffer points out, what we're seeing isn't just a failure of one individual, but a disturbing example of “passing the trash”—a loophole in school policy that lets potentially dangerous educators resign quietly rather than face consequences. Now, that silence may have cost lives. This conversation isn't just about what went wrong with McGann—it's about a system that enabled him. We break down how mandatory reporting failed, why schools often prioritize liability over transparency, and what this case tells us about the broader crisis in educational oversight. If you've ever wondered how someone like McGann can end up teaching children right before allegedly committing murder—this episode will leave you rattled.

In this episode, Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski is joined by former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to unpack what we now know about McGann's troubling track record in schools across multiple states. Why did McGann bounce from district to district? Why were serious concerns about his interactions with students never formally reported to law enforcement? As Coffindaffer points out, what we're seeing isn't just a failure of one individual, but a disturbing example of “passing the trash”—a loophole in school policy that lets potentially dangerous educators resign quietly rather than face consequences. Now, that silence may have cost lives. This conversation isn't just about what went wrong with McGann—it's about a system that enabled him. We break down how mandatory reporting failed, why schools often prioritize liability over transparency, and what this case tells us about the broader crisis in educational oversight. If you've ever wondered how someone like McGann can end up teaching children right before allegedly committing murder—this episode will leave you rattled.

1912 - Carmel, Maine. When 14-year-old Naomi Etta Mitchell vanished on her walk to the general store, the tiny town of Carmel, ME mobilized overnight. Neighbors scoured the woods, lanterns in hand, until their worst fear was confirmed—Naomi's body had been found. Suspicion fell almost immediately on J. Sherman Gray, the man witnesses had seen trailing her that night. But before authorities could close in, Sherman disappeared. Now, with each passing day, frustration in Carmel was boiling over. If the law didn't catch Sherman soon, the townspeople were prepared to deliver their own brand of justice, no matter the outcome.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  One of my friends is having a baby, so we've been talking about baby stuff a lot. And of course… my stupid phone is listening. So now my TikTok feed is filled with all these freaking baby videos.  Usually I just scroll past it, but the other day… one of them caught my eye. It was a viral video all about how this girl got pregnant because she took Mucinex. You know, the medicine for chest congestion? I know… so random. I thought this was a fake video but as I did more research, turns out *thousands* of people have tried this, and tons of them swear by it. But here's the thing: this is nothing new.

People have been drinking strange potions, and performing controversial rituals, and even worshipping a metal penis for *centuries*. When it comes to making babies, people will try anything.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! The other day I woke up starving — like, hangry. So I wandered into the kitchen and stood there, just… staring. Eggs? Too much work. Pancakes? Ehhh Toast? Meh. I mean why is choosing breakfast this complicated? It's supposed to be “the most important meal of the day,” right? At least that's what we've all been told. But who decided that? Who made the rules on what we should eat first thing in the morning? So I started digging — and what I found is, breakfast has never been just about food. It's been a battlefield. A PR stunt. A marketing goldmine. And sometimes… even a political weapon. From early doctors who thought bland breakfasts could stop “sinful urges”… to the government pushing a food pyramid on America… to movements that fought for kids to actually have access to breakfast …it's messy. Like spilled coffee on your white shirt messy.  So let's dive into it.

Some say it was a curse, an omen of misfortune that slithered into this world on a storm-wracked night. Others claim it was the child of a mother who, in her desperation or her rage, called upon the Devil himself.

In the 1950s, more than 20,000 people—over one percent of the adult population of Ireland—were locked away in mental asylums. This was the highest rate in the world, with more people confined in asylums than in all other institutions, including prisons, combined.Yet, despite these staggering numbers, the story of Ireland's asylums remains largely unspoken. In this episode, historian Fin Dwyer is joined by Prof Brendan Kelly to uncover the history behind these institutions. They explore the origins of Ireland's asylums, the harsh realities faced by those inside, and the complex reasons why communities didn't oppose these bleak institutions but often welcomed their opening. Through powerful stories and revealing statistics, this episode shines a light on a dark chapter of Irish history that we still struggle to confront.Get an ad-free version of the show at Patreon.com/irishpodcastGet Brendan's book 'Inside Grangegorman' https://shop.ria.ie/products/asylum-inside-grangegormanSound by Kate Dunlea.

And you ended up *LOVING* the Caesar episode… So it made me wonder what other, *older* dictators were out there who I assumed were boring but actually had these scandalous lives.  And that's when I found out about a certain emperor we're gonna talk about today.

Been there, done that. But … no. No one has ever matched this guy's freak.  Some of the dictators we've talked about are actually failed artists. And then they take revenge on the world by taking it over.  But this guy… it's almost like he didn't care about being in power at all. All he wanted to do was sing. And dance.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  For some reason, female nudity feels *way* more common than male nudity. In pop culture at least, we're way more used to seeing women being naked and sexualized.  Think how many times you see titties on tv. And then think about how everyone loses their minds when there's a penis on HBO or White Lotus. It's rare!  Back in the 1950s, it was only men who had bachelor parties. Bachelorette parties? Not a thing. In those days, women would have bridal showers. And men got to have their wild night out.  But by the 70s, feminism was going strong. Women were feeling a little more liberated. They wanted equality, and that meant that we wanted bachelorette parties, baby. Like, we want exactly what the guys are having.  And this story is really about a few guys being in the right place at the right time. Because they started something over in Los Angeles that overlapped with the rise of porn, *and* female empowerment. Because what do you need for the perfect bachelorette party?

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  Do you guys remember earthquake drills? I grew up in California… So earthquake drills were just part of my life growing up. It seemed like we did earthquake drills nonstop. And despite that, I can never seem to remember what to do during an earthquake. Like, do I go to a doorway? Do I hide under a desk?  Do I stop, drop, and roll? Oh right, that's for fires. Some earthquakes are so big they have literally changed the size and rotation of the earth. The whole thing terrifies me because I learned that sometimes, an earthquake is just the *beginning* of a disaster.  Earthquakes can trigger *other* events - like tsunamis, fires, and even… human sacrifice. And once upon a time, an earthquake almost caused a nuclear disaster. So let's get into it.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

The Bible as a Cross Cultural Experience

Is the label "biblical" helping or hurting how we approach faith, church, and cultural challenges? In this thought-provoking episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim explore the pitfalls of using "biblical" as a rigid brand, how it impacts theology, and its effects on navigating issues like justice, community, and interpretation of Scripture. They discuss the importance of reading the Bible in community, embracing humility, and fostering critical thinking to form faithful and wise communities. Drawing on listener feedback, they tackle how Scripture has been used both to liberate and to harm and ask what it means to embody a cruciform way of living. The conversation dives into the role of the church in society, the balance between individual and communal faith practices, and the dangers of reducing the Bible to oversimplified categories. With humor, deep insight, and a commitment to justice and Jesus' teachings, this episode invites you to rethink how we engage with Scripture and one another. #bible #selfimprovement #foundationforintentionalcommunity #biblestudy #importanceofchristiancommunity #bible #solascriptura #livingbythebook #eisegesisvs.exegesis #biblestudy Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Week Recap 02:51 Modeling for a Glamping Resort 06:05 Podcast Updates and Listener Feedback 09:07 Discussion on Bible Accessibility and Interpretation 11:57 The Role of Community in Bible Reading 18:09 Intent Behind Bible Study 21:05 Unity and Diversity in the Bible 26:00 The Purpose of the Bible in Community 30:09 Critique of Biblical Branding 34:02 Closing Thoughts on Wisdom and Learning 35:25 The Limitations of Biblical Prepackaging 38:51 The Harm of Misusing Biblical Concepts 44:52 Understanding the Bible as a Cross-Cultural Experience 51:59 The Three Elements of Biblical Interpretation 59:52 The Importance of Context in Biblical Texts 01:06:01 The Dark History of Biblical Misinterpretation 01:09:55 Navigating Modern Misinformation and Biblical Understanding As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  Do you guys remember that movie “Where the Heart Is?” It's all about this girl who secretly moves into the store without anyone noticing, then she gives birth in the mattress department… and again, no one notices… It stars Natalie Portman, it's great.  When I was a kid and I saw this movie, it was 100% believable to me. I mean when I think of Walmart, I think of this ridiculously *HUGE* store with everything you could possibly need.  I'm talking late night tampon runs, trashbags, nail polish removers, hot Cheetos and cream cheese… if you know you know. I honestly don't even remember a time in my life when Walmart didn't exist.  Millions of Americans depend on their low prices just to get by in this economy. Walmart is a savior to some people.  Others believe it's the reason millions of Americans are in debt. I know… plot twist. Whatever you believe… Walmart is the biggest company in the world and *everyone* has an opinion on it.  So of course I had to get the tea for us. Welcome to the Dark History of WALMART!

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! As a country, America has always had a complicated relationship with dairy. One month we hate it, the next month, some weird cottage cheese recipe goes viral, and we're all over it again. But here's something I thought was a little strange. You never hear about dairy farmers or the dairy industry going bankrupt. It made me wonder why. Turns out… the dairy industry is in bed with the government.  Why? Because the government desperately needs them not to fail. And that's just the tip of the string cheese. We've been brainwashed into thinking we *need* dairy from the time we were kids. And there's a wild reason for that.   It involves Marie Antoinette, cheese caves, and… Dominoes? Guys… this is a wild one. And I'm not going to lie… you might think twice before ordering your next Taco Bell burrito.  Welcome to the Dark History of Big Dairy!  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! You know, after living in Los Angeles for a few years, I've learned a lot. Like, for example, if you tell people you live in LA, the first thing they ask about is celebrities.  Who have I seen? What were they like? Am I friends with Kris Jenner? It's always the same question. LA is huge and a lot of people don't realize it has a *crazy* history. Hollywood and celebrity culture is just one small part of it.  We've covered some LA history here on Dark History a couple of times. We did an episode on the Chicano Movement, and we even did one the Zoot Suit Riots.  During my research for those episodes, I came across an event I had never heard of… the Chinese Massacre of 1871. You might think by the name, this massacre happened in China.  But turns out, it happened right here in Los Angeles. It was essentially a mass murder killing spree, targeting Chinese American communities.  I wanted to do this episode because it's one of those stories where I thought to myself: why aren't they teaching this in school? Why has it gotten brushed under the rug and lost to history? Well, today we're going to find out.  Welcome to the Dark History of the Chinese Massacre of 1871.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! The other day I was watching Monster In Law - remember that movie? It starred J Lo, her character falls in love with this dream guy, they get engaged, and everything is perfect until… she meets her mother-in-law.  The mother in law is played by Jane Fonda by the way, she's so good in it. And the whole movie is essentially about how this mother in law makes her future daughter in law's life hell, so she can break up the marriage.  I caught this movie on TV, around mother's day. Which made me laugh, because when most of us think of mother's day, we think of flowers, chocolate, cards that say I love you. But for so many people, that's not the case.  Sometimes moms can be the worst. Which got me thinking… who *are* the worst mothers in history?
