The Games of Ice Innsbruck 1964 → Albertville 1992 The Winter Olympics are marketed as triumph — humanity's most elegant rebellion against cold, gravity, and fear. But long before the medals… before the fireworks… before the world even begins clapping — winter is already collecting its price. In Episode One of this two-part Devil Within series, we descend into the hidden history of Olympic tragedy — starting with Innsbruck, 1964, where two athletes died before the Opening Ceremony even began, and moving forward to Albertville, 1992, where modernity itself became the killer: a collision not with a mountain… but with the machinery designed to tame it. This episode isn't about gore. It isn't even about blame. It's about the human condition — what happens when ambition meets physics, when spectacle meets reality, and when a celebration quietly becomes a grave. Because the devil within isn't always evil.Sometimes… it's certainty. In this episode: • Why winter sports are the purest form of “beautiful danger” • Innsbruck 1964: the Games begin in tragedy before they begin in ceremony • How grief gets packaged, polished, and pushed aside so the machine can keep moving • Albertville 1992: the terrifying moment the Olympics becomes a system — and systems fail • The quiet truth Olympic branding never says out loud: winter is not scenery Listener warning: This episode contains discussions of accidental death during Olympic training and preparation.

April's Shadow : “The Balcony in Memphis” In Episode One of this two-part Ides of April event series, we step into Memphis, 1968—not as a footnote in civil rights history, but as a pressure cooker where the fight for equality evolves into something even more threatening to power: economic justice. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to Memphis to support the sanitation workers' strike, sparked by the horrific deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker, and fueled by a single, uncompromising demand—human dignity—carried through the streets on signs that read: I AM A MAN. As King's mission expands from civil rights leader into a broader advocate for labor and class justice, the atmosphere darkens and the stakes intensify. Memphis becomes a mirror reflecting America's deepest fear: that justice may require redistribution—not just of rights, but of power. The episode moves into the prophetic gravity of King's final night. At Mason Temple, he delivers the iconic “Mountaintop” speech—part sermon, part warning—before returning to the Lorraine Motel. The next day, a moment of ordinary life becomes a national rupture: 6:01 PM on the balcony outside Room 306. And in the hour after his death, America ignites—grief spilling into unrest and reckoning—while the machinery of investigation begins turning, hunting for a suspect as the country struggles to make meaning out of the impossible. In this episode     •    Why Memphis became the inevitable battleground in 1968     •    The sanitation strike, labor, and the radical power of I AM A MAN     •    King's evolution into a leader focused on class justice     •    The “Mountaintop” speech and the calm before catastrophe     •    The assassination, the aftermath, and the beginning of the manhunt

According to court filings and testimony presented so far, investigators allege Banfield was involved in a scheme that centered around a secret relationship with the couple's live-in nanny — a woman who, prosecutors claim, became an alleged accomplice in the crime.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF The Murder of Agent Camarena: The Cartel That Woke the Giant This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn takes listeners inside one of the most brutal and consequential crimes of the modern drug war — the kidnapping, torture, and murder of dedicated DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena Salazar, carried out at the behest of the Guadalajara Cartel in the mid-1980s. Camarena wasn't just another name on a case file. He was a husband, a father, and an agent who believed that justice mattered — even when the forces he was up against had infinite money, political influence, and a willingness to destroy anyone who stood in their way. But what cartel leaders didn't anticipate… was what would happen next. Because Camarena's murder didn't end with silence. It triggered something rare: a full-force response from the United States government — an investigation so vast and relentless it became one of the DEA's largest murder hunts in history, stretching across borders and years. What followed was not just law enforcement — it was pursuit. A slow, grinding campaign of pressure, intelligence, and endurance designed to make sure the people responsible could never fully disappear into the world they'd built. For this episode, Carolyn interviews a retired DEA agent who had a front row seat for more than 30 years of the so-called “war on drugs” — offering firsthand insight into how cartel power really functions, what justice looks like when it takes decades, and what it costs the men and women who spend their lives trying to hold the line.

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER — Week of January 19th, 2026 Winter dread. Strange lights. Real monsters. And the fog rolling back in. Welcome back to The Devil's Ledger — the weekly dispatch from the edge of the week… where the stories don't end so much as they linger. And in the heart of winter, when everything goes quiet, the quiet starts to feel like it's thinking. This week's episode takes us from haunted Massachusetts stonework to middle America's strangest alleged UFO encounter — plus a brutal true crime deep dive, a new show format from Josh Wolf, and a return to one of horror's most iconic nightmares. THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK The Hoosac Tunnel “Wailing Wind” Deaths (1850s–1860s) In the Berkshires, the Hoosac Tunnel was supposed to be progress — but winter construction turned it into a nightmare. During a brutal stretch, dozens of workers died underground. Survivors later described hearing screams carried on the wind, and even stranger: lantern lights moving deep within sealed shafts where no one could possibly be. A mass grave with train tracks… still echoing its debt. ON THE DEVIL WITHIN The Flatwoods Monster We're back in middle America for one of the most infamous alleged UFO encounters in U.S. folklore. In 1952, a fiery streak crosses the sky over Braxton County, West Virginia. A group climbs a hill searching for a crash… and claims to encounter something towering, hissing, metallic, and absolutely not human. But as the story spreads, the real question becomes the Devil Within question: what happens when fear and perception collide in the dark — and certainty becomes legend? ON THE IDES OF APRIL The Ides of April has the week off — but returns next week with a brand-new two-part series. ON CRIMINAL MISCHIEF This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn covers the kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena Salazar, carried out at the behest of the Guadalajara Cartel in the mid-1980s. What cartel leaders didn't expect was a years-long response that became one of the DEA's largest murder investigations ever — a relentless hunt stretching across borders and decades. Carolyn interviews a retired DEA agent who witnessed the “war on drugs” up close for more than 30 years. ON FINDING ME WITH JOSH WOLF Josh introduces a new format: Theme Weeks. Every Monday a theme is announced — and every episode that week focuses on it. This week's theme is HEALTH, and Josh kicks it off with the first installment of a terrifying (and often darkly funny) health journey he and his wife endured after battling an almost invisible enemy: mold — in their home and their bodies. The lesson that lands hardest: the mirror is NOT your doctor. THIS WEEK IN HORROR The fog rolls back in with Return to Silent Hill — the third installment in the franchise. James receives a mysterious letter that leads him back to Silent Hill, hoping to find the woman he loves… only to discover the town reshaped by something malevolent, filled with terrifying figures that force him to question reality itself. ✅ FOLLOW / RATE / EXPLORE (CTAs)

THE DEVIL WITHIN — The Wrong Road (Part Two) Months after the Mercury Montego was discovered abandoned in the snow, searchers find something deeper in the forest: A U.S. Forest Service trailer. Inside is everything that could have saved them—bunks, blankets, matches, propane… and enough food to keep multiple men alive for weeks. And in the back room—wrapped carefully in sheets—are the remains of Ted Weiher. He didn't die quickly. He likely survived for weeks. The horror of this story isn't supernatural. It isn't even mysterious. It's unbearably human. Part Two examines the theories, the folklore, and why people need this to be a conspiracy—because the truth is harder to accept: that confusion, fear, and rigid obedience to “rules” can trap a person even when salvation is right in front of them. This is not a whodunit. It's a warning.

They should have been home within hours. Instead, they drive into the Sierra Nevada foothills… and the road begins to climb. In Part One, we follow the Yuba County Five—Gary Mathias, Bill Sterling, Ted Weiher, Jack Huett, and Jack Madruga—as the night quietly turns hostile. A familiar drive becomes unfamiliar territory. A dependable car becomes a stranded shelter. And the most unsettling part isn't what happened to them… …it's what they did next. The Mercury Montego wasn't wrecked. It wasn't empty. It could have kept them alive. But they abandoned it—walking uphill into the darkness, away from help, into a forest that swallowed logic and sound. This isn't the story of a killer hiding in the trees. It's a story about panic, cold, and how winter can turn the human mind against itself. Part Two is coming next—deep in the forest, where the real questions begin.

After decades of suspicion, denials, and unanswered questions, Cottingham has now admitted to an additional murder—a development that reignites public scrutiny and raises fresh questions about how many victims may still remain unaccounted for. Carolyn breaks down what this new admission means, why it matters, and what investigators and advocates have been pushing for all along: accountability, documentation, and the truth—no matter how late it comes. To deepen the conversation, Carolyn sits down with serial killer historian and author Peter Vronsky (author of The Golden Age of Serial Killers), one of the voices who has helped keep pressure on law enforcement and institutions to continue revisiting Cottingham's case. Together, they explore the cultural, institutional, and investigative forces that allowed serial predators like Cottingham to operate—and why these cases so often remain unresolved for decades.

For the next six weeks, the world slows down, the nights stretch longer, and the quiet gets louder. Stay alert, stay calm… and stay inside. This week, on The Devil Within, we launch a two-part series on one of the most haunting disappearances in American true crime: The Yuba County Five. Five young men leave a basketball game in 1978 and take the wrong road into the mountains. Their car is found abandoned — functional, not wrecked, and capable of sheltering them — but they left it behind and walked uphill into the snow. No killer. No chase. Just winter, fear, and the terrible power of confusion. On The Ides of April, we conclude The Quiet Death of an Empire with Part Two of the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and examine the enduring controversy that Anastasia may have survived the bloodbath. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn delivers an update on the so-called Torso Killer case from New York and New Jersey in the 1970s — including a new jailhouse confession and an exclusive interview with Dr. Peter Vronsky, the author and expert who literally wrote the book on the Golden Age of serial killers. The boys from Taboo Treasures are still on winter break, but they'll be back soon.

⭐️ EPISODE 2 SHOW NOTES The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins, Part Two: What We Brought Into the Dark Daylight was supposed to explain everything. Instead, the sheriff found shattered glass, bullet-scarred walls, shaken witnesses — and almost no evidence that anything had ever been there. As investigators, skeptics, neighbors, and UFO hunters descended on the Sutton farm, a new explanation crept into the story: meteor trails… unusual bird behavior… and the unsettling truth about how fear spreads through a room like wildfire. In Part Two, we walk the property again — slowly, carefully — and ask the question no one really wants to face: What if the attack came not from the sky… …but from inside the human mind? Because if the monsters weren't real — then something far more disturbing was. Stay through the closing thought. This one lingers.

The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins, Part One: The Things at the Window On a sweltering Kentucky night in 1955, a family on a rural farm claimed they were surrounded by small, shining “beings” that moved through the yard, climbed onto the roof, and pressed their faces against the windows. They fired round after round into the dark. And nothing — and no one — fell. This isn't really a story about “goblins.” It's about fear, perception, and the split second when reality stops behaving the way we expect it to. In Part One, we step inside that farmhouse and live the night as they did: the lights in the sky, the barking dogs, the guns, and the single moment that turned unease into terror — the face at the window. Because sometimes, the real monster isn't outside the house. It's what the human mind creates when darkness refuses to explain itself. Listen to the end — the cliffhanger will pull you straight into Part Two. And remember: The dark doesn't have to be empty… for it to be terrifying.

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne's heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what's left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome's enemies circle closer, and John's greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.
