Dennis Rader, the self-proclaimed "BTK" killer—short for "Bind, Torture, Kill"—terrified Wichita and Park City, Kansas, for nearly two decades. But behind the mask of a monstrous mastermind was a man whose crimes were riddled with laughable mistakes, sloppy execution, and a bizarre craving for attention. In this episode, we dismantle the myth of BTK as a criminal genius and reveal the truth: Dennis Rader wasn't brilliant—he was a bungler. Tune in as we unravel the twisted, error-filled path of one of America's most incompetent, yet still deadly, serial killers.

Since this episode is dropping just before Mother's Day in the US, it seemed like the perfect time to talk about Echidna, the Mother of All Monsters. Or… at least an awful lot of the Greek ones.

All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

These hundred days have brought horrors unimaginable even during the first nightmare years of Nitwit Nero. Now, he says he "runs the world." He's insane. Stone-cold, no-doubt-about-it criminally insane. The monsters of ICE are kidnapping infants and pregnant mothers, children with cancer. Could we please just skip the middle part and put them in spiffy, black Hugo Boss uniforms? I'd like to think maybe even MAGATS might take notice then. Who am I kidding?

What work can genre do today? And can the genre system become more than a method of reductive containment and market segmentation—can it be a generative source of imaginative chaos? Few are as qualified to address these questions as Lauren Beukes, whose simultaneous embrace of genres from science fiction to crime to horror and refusal to abide within their borders—what she calls her “Big Fuck You Energy”—has rendered her, by her own account, “basically un-shelve-able.” Beukes is joined by crime fiction scholar (and novelist) Andrew Pepper of Queen's University Belfast for a conversation that dances across her oeuvre's many genres. They delve into how Beukes first encountered genre through the allegories that writers used to navigate the apartheid state of South Africa; how Beukes' experiences of femicidal violence and police apathy inspired her work in genre-bent crime (“At least in novels I get to have justice,” she tells us); the inflection of dystopia from different global perspectives; and the role of speculative fiction in helping clarify political enemies in an age of obfuscation. Pepper and Beukes also think about genre in more practical terms, from the logistics of keeping track of plotlines when crafting time travel or multiverse novels to what it means to be a “high concept” author in a market designed for distracted audiences. Mentioned in this Episode Lauren Beukes, Moxyland, Zoo City, The Shining Girls (and AppleTV adaptation), Broken Monsters, Bridge Margaret Atwood and speculative fiction China Miéville and the New Weird Kazuo Ishiguro Lauren Berlant Ivy Pochoda, These Women Danya Kukafka, Notes on an Execution Hannibal Lecter Crooked and Obscene Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho Charles Dickens, Great Expectations Rick and Morty Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Everything Everywhere All At Once E.L.

Description: On this episode of the Nonsense Podcast, we put our Chicago roots to the test with a brutal “One's Got to Go” featuring the city's most iconic sandwiches: Jim Shoe, Gyro, Breaded Steak, and the Italian Beef. Henvincible dares to say the Italian Beef isn't all that, while FNBob thinks some sandwiches are just doing too much. Then, reality hits as we talk about truly feeling our 30s—aches, pains, and struggling to find time for fun. We also break down our new short-form series, Shot of Nonsense, where we argue ridiculous topics in three minutes or less (after taking a shot, of course). FNBob hypes up his jam-packed week of concerts with Kelly, dragging Henvincible along for the ride. Finally, FNBob delivers a fiery rant on Dragon Ball Super and God of War, claiming they've ruined Broly and Kratos by making them too soft. He misses the days when they were just unstoppable forces of destruction! Highlights:
In this episode we sit down to talk to Surekha Davies to discuss her new book 'Humans: A Monstrous History'.

Monsters are central to how we think about the human condition. Join award-winning historian of science in Humans: A Monstrous History (University of California Press, 2025) by Dr. Surekha Davies as she reveals how people have defined the human in relation to everything from apes to zombies, and how they invented race, gender, and nations along the way. With rich, evocative storytelling that braids together ancient gods and generative AI, Frankenstein's monster and E.T., Humans: A Monstrous History shows how monster-making is about control: it defines who gets to count as normal. In an age when corporations increasingly see people as obstacles to profits, this book traces the long, volatile history of monster-making and charts a better path for the future. The result is a profound, effervescent, empowering retelling of the history of the world for anyone who wants to reverse rising inequality and polarization. This is not a history of monsters, but a history through monsters. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This week Dr. Surekha Davies joins in to talk about a different way of seeing human history--through monsters. According to her, Monsters are central to how we think about the human condition. So our conversation reveals how people have defined the human in relation to everything from apes to zombies, and how they invented race, gender, and nations along the way. And to do so, we are talking about one of the very best Pixar films ever made: Monsters, Inc. This episode is so good that it's scary.About our guest:Dr. Surekha Davies is a British author, speaker, and historian of science, art, and ideas.

She has written essays and reviews about the histories of biology, anthropology, and monsters in the Times Literary Supplement, Nature, Science, and Aeon.

Guest: Dr. Surekha Davies is a historian of science, art, and ideas and the author of Humans: A Monstrous History. The post Humans: A Monstrous History appeared first on KPFA.
Elbridge Gerry, a founding father and governor of Massachusetts, rearranged the electoral districts of a map in order to give his Democratic Republican party an electoral advantage on 11th February 1812 Despite Gerry's other, more noble, contributions to American politics, this act of “gerrymandering” has brought him unintended infamy - though the history of this dubious practice predates him, with political operatives in 18th-century England creating "rotten boroughs" to secure seats in parliament. In this episode, The Retrospectors reveal how the outrageous ‘tradition' continues today, involving techniques like "cracking" and "packing" to split or concentrate voter bases; uncover the dirty joke Gerry once made about the U.S. military; and explain how a dinner party full of newspapermen created a confusing origin story for the first ‘gerrymander' cartoon… Further Reading: • ‘Elbridge Gerry and the Monstrous Gerrymander' (Library of Congress, 2017): https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2017/02/elbridge-gerry-and-the-monstrous-gerrymander/ • ‘Elbridge Gerry, namesake of gerrymandering, was a Founding Father' (The Washington Post, 2021): https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/11/09/elbridge-gerry-gerrymandering-founding-father/ • ‘Gerrymandering: Elbridge Gerry gets the blame for election fixing' (BBC News, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g84qurCBgKM This episode first premiered in 2024, for members of

Please cut thru all the DEI noise out there, here's the truth. Trump is blaming black people, brown people, women, transgenders, and people with disabilities for the deaths of those 67 souls. That's disgusting and monstrous. If that doesn't disgust you, nothing will. And btw, Trump said it because he knows he can get away with saying it. Hosted on Acast.

In an age when corporations increasingly see people as obstacles to profits, Surekha Davies's book Humans: A Monstrous History traces the long, volatile history of monster-making to chart a better path for the future. The result is a profound, effervescent, empowering retelling of the history of the world for anyone who wants to reverse rising inequality and polarization.

They say urban legends aren't real and are only cautionary tales to keep unruly children at bay, but there are elements underlying these stories that are far more terrifying than any monster or ghoul. The biggest horror? We, as Black people, have learned to fear ourselves. In 2022, Jay sat down with Dr. Kinitra Brooks to guide this conversation. Beyond being a horror scholar, she is a horror fan. She's authored two books: Searching for Sycorax: Black Women's Hauntings of Contemporary Horror and Sycorax's Daughters, and is working on her next work about Conjure Women. She is also the Audrey and John Leslie Endowed Chair in Literary Studies in the Department of English at Michigan State University. __________________________ Black History Year (BHY) is produced by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.
