Welcome to the final installment of True Story Media Presents! This week Andrea is talking to Wendy and Beth, the creators behind Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color. The three of them chat about how they first met and what drove Wendy and Beth to dive into true crime podcasting. They reflect on the shared thread of how cultural and societal ideals shape policy and how that engages with true crime. Wendy and Beth share what they hope listeners take away from their podcast. They also touch on the case of Antoinette Frank—a New Orleans police officer turned murderer. *** Listen to Fruitloops: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fruitloops-serial-killers-of-color/id1400426755 Listen to Antoinette Frank: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e80-antoinette-frank/id1400426755 Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.  Click here to view our sponsors.

Forget the chainsaw and the slasher mask. The true story of Ed Gein, a lonely man in Plainfield, Wisconsin, is more unsettling than any fictional horror. This true crime commentary from Hidden Killers explores the psychological profile of the man behind the infamous "Psycho" and "Leatherface" inspirations. We delve into the grotesque discoveries police made at his isolated farmhouse, focusing on the quiet, obsessive nature of his crimes and the chilling reality of his grave robbing. This isn't about gore; it's a deep dive into the psychological horror and the twisted mindset that led to the desecration of the dead. We'll discuss his profound mother fixation and analyze why this case remains so disturbing to this day. This is the real-life horror story of an individual who didn't commit a massive body count but instead became a legend of American terror through his morbid obsessions. Tune in for a respectful, detailed breakdown of one of history's most compelling and misunderstood criminal cases.

In April of 2009 four Somali pirates boarded the Maersk Alabama, a US/Danish cargo ship off the coast of Africa, a notorious piracy hotspot. The crew aboard the Alabama did everything they could to keep the pirates from gaining control of the ship, however the pirates still held multiple crew members hostage, including Captain Richard Phillips. After chief engineer, Mike Perry, managed to capture one of the pirates, the crew attempted to negotiate an exchange of hostages. However the failed attempt led to Captain Phillips being held on a lifeboat with the pirates, who demanded a $2 million ransom for his release. The captain's capture resulted in a standoff between the pirates and the US Navy, including Navy SEAL Team Six.

In this powerful episode, Riley dives deep into one of the most extraordinary moves of God in modern history—the Hebrides Revival (1949–1952). What began in a small cottage with two elderly sisters, Peggy and Christine Smith, turned into a sweeping outpouring of the Holy Spirit that transformed entire villages across the Isle of Lewis. Churches once empty were filled overnight. People fell under conviction in fields, barns, and even aboard ships at sea. This is not just history—it's a holy invitation for our generation. If God could shake a remote island off Scotland's coast, He can shake our homes, our cities, and our hearts today.

On the morning of May 17th, 2014, a detective wrote furiously as she sat next to the hospital bed of a mortally-injured 77-year-old woman. The woman had been in a coma for the last ten days, and the detective had been desperately working to figure out who had tried to kill her. Now that the woman had woken up, the detective was finally getting the chance she'd been waiting for – to ask her victim directly. But the woman was afraid. She told the detective she had a lot to say, but she couldn't say it here, at the hospital – because she was still in danger.

Bill Maher welcomes Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) for a no-rules conversation packed with wild tour stories, culture shocks, and rock-and-roll revelations. From growing up in a Doncaster guitar shop (while convinced Rod Stewart was his granddad) to near-arrests in Japan, tour bus rules, midnight truck stops, and crew parties that never end, Yungblood holds nothing back. They dive into pirate vs. cowboy style, why rock's not dead (it just got a wardrobe change), and Yungblud''s powerful farewell with Ozzy Osbourne just weeks before his passing. Along the way: a schoolteacher crush, Taylor Swift fandom, Japan's infamous vending machines, and the big reveal of Bill's stripper name.

A bedroom shouldn't feel unsafe. But for one listener, the converted attic of her childhood home became the stage for a true story that reads like a gothic nightmare.  We bring you three encounters — a pale boy in a red shirt standing at the foot of the bed, an invisible weight settling down beside a teenager in the dark, and a midnight visitation that arrived exactly at 2 AM before a beloved nanny passed on. These incidents are told with raw detail and an eerie calm that makes you question what's a dream and what's real. Then the tale turns to animals: ghost cats that return with the weight of memory, and an unforgettable encounter in an English village where a grieving woman kneels over a 19th-century grave — and an Irish wolfhound sits behind her, then vanishes. Local legend whispers of a loyal dog that protected women and died a brutal death; now, some say, it patrols the old cemetery still. Is this residual energy, a protective spirit, or a malevolent attachment? This is real haunting territory: haunted house vibes, pet ghosts, prophetic visitations, and spine-tingling moments that feel like they should be caught on camera but exist only in whispered memory. #TrueStory #RealHaunting #HauntedHouse #GhostBoy #GhostDog #Paranormal #CemeteryGhost #PetGhost #GhostEncounter #SpiritualAttachment #GhostStories #HauntedEngland Love real ghost stories?

Joel and Lynn Rosenberg blend deeply personal reflections with major breaking news from the heart of the Middle East. As they honor the life and faith legacy of Joel’s mother, they also dive into the details of a historic 20-point peace plan brokered by President Trump—one that promises a potential end to the Gaza war if Hamas agrees before a looming deadline. The Rosenbergs unpack what’s in the plan, who’s on board, and what this could mean for the future of Israel, Gaza, and the broader region. Along the way, they offer a biblical perspective on peace, forgiveness, and hope in the midst of conflict, inviting listeners to pray for lasting change and to consider the impact of the gospel in times of loss and uncertainty.

In the third installment of True Story Media Presents, Andrea sits down with Javier Leiva—host and creator of PRETEND. The two talk about how they first connected, their new partnership under True Story Media, and the overlapping themes in their work. They dig into the emotional toll of telling true crime stories, and Javier shares his path from local news and documentary filmmaking into the world of true crime podcasting, and how his show has become a space to unravel deception, trauma, and control. Javier also introduces listeners to one of his latest series: The Internet Saves the Bachelor. It follows former Bachelor star Clayton Echard as he's pulled into a web of deception by Laura Owens—including a fabricated pregnancy that spiraled into chaos. *** Listen to PRETEND: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pretend/id1245307962 Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.  Click here to view our sponsors.

During puberty, a network of specific glands and hormones work together like an orchestra, eventually leading to a sexually mature reproductive system along with certain smelly and awkward side effects. Listen to how endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard tells the fascinating story of how hormones work throughout puberty, making a complex system so much more understandable.

Late on a June evening in 2000, a detective with the Easton PA Police Department sat in his car on a darkened neighborhood street, surveilling a house nearby and waiting patiently. After what seemed like an eternity, someone emerged from the house, carrying a couple of bulky trash bags in their hands. The detective tensed up– but he didn't move. It wasn't the person that he was waiting for. The detective kept watching as the person placed their trash bags on the curb for pickup in the morning, and then walked back inside the house. And that was when the detective flung open his car door. As quickly as he could, he darted across the street and grabbed the bags. He then ran back to his car and stuffed the bags in his trunk. As he drove away – he knew he was about to solve his murder case.

Bill Maher sits down with Seth Green for a fast, funny conversation that zig-zags from Hollywood war stories to pop-culture philosophy – including a wild night on the town with Macaulay Culkin, Andy Dick, and Marilyn Manson that went spectacularly sideways. They trade notes on weed, hemp, and the myth-versus-merit of CBD, then dive into the child-actor reality – Gary Coleman's hard truths, “fame without money,” and how Seth managed to avoid the pitfalls. From MTV Awards and Punk'd pranks to the anniversaries of Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day's Dookie and American Idiot, they rewind to MTV Cribs, recount an undercover poker prank, and even debate the most important question of all: are comic books literature?

I absolutely judge books by their covers, and as one of the top covers I've seen all year, Sowing Hope doesn't disappoint. Listen in to learn how Heather Wood weaves parts of history many don't know much about into amazing stories! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. I love that Heather writes about skilled Irish artisans before the potato famine.  She also shared about how she wrote to show how slavery was getting worse, how she deals with an actual martyr, and about the Underground Railroad. Sowing Hope by Heather Wood Encounter the True Story of Abolitionist Editor Elijah Lovejoy Patrick Gallagher has done all he can—and it hasn't been enough. Now in his mid-thirties, he battles discouragement over his inability to make a difference in eradicating slavery. Longing to regain the hope and passion that once fueled his calling, Patrick sets out from his home in Maryland to meet his hero, Elijah Lovejoy, an anti-slavery editor in Missouri. Anna Markland actively serves her community and those traveling on the Underground Railroad. But her efforts feel small when she is constantly beset by headaches that leave her prostrate for days on end. When the enigmatic Mr. Gallagher enters her life, she discovers their hearts beat with the same dreams. Yet Anna knows that if she allowed him to pursue her, her weakness would hinder him from reaching his potential as an abolitionist leader. In the free states along his path, Patrick discovers that the Black and abolitionist communities are anything but free. Violent mobs, hateful rhetoric, and spineless politicians create a tinderbox of danger. What will he sacrifice for the cause he's devoted his life to—and will God finally use him to make the difference he longs to see in society? Don't miss the first interview with Heather HERE.

From the chilling 1874 case that coined 'don't take candy from strangers' to Patty Hearst's transformation from heiress to bank robber, journey through true tales of kidnapping where victims outsmarted their captors, others never escaped, and some didn't want to. These are the abduction stories you've never heard—told by the survivors themselves and featuring cases of Stockholm Syndrome that challenge everything we think we know about survival.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: “Don't take candy from strangers” - that warning stemmed from a real kidnapping in 1874, made even more history-making by being the first kidnapping in U.S. history to demand money for the child's safe return. (The First U.S. Kidnapping For Ransom) *** I'll share true kidnapping stories told by the victims – stories you've never heard, because none of them made the evening news. (True Stories of Abduction) *** In some kidnapping cases, the victim outsmarts their abductor. We'll look at a few quick-thinking abductees whose out-of-the-box thinking and determination to survive helped them to escape their captors. (They Outsmarted Their Kidnappers) *** In some cases of kidnapping, the victims have an opportunity to escape – but don't. They even try to help those who abducted them in the first place. In many cases this indicates the victim is suffering from a terrifying type of brainwashing we've come to know as Stockholm Syndrome – and we'll look at a few famous cases of it. (True Cases of Stockholm Syndrome) *** A beautiful California co-ed was kidnapped in 1974 - and two months later, she burst into a bank with a machine gun. We'll look at how Stockholm Syndrome changed 19-year-old wealthy heiress Patty Hearst into a cold-blooded bank robber.

Killing Game: The True Story of Rodney Alcala the Game Show KillerIt was in September 1978 when Rodney Alcala was selected on the 'Dating Game' as the winner, by the pretty bachelorette. Every viewer agreed that he was the perfect choice, but behind his handsome face, the successful photographer Alcala, was in the middle of a killing sexual rampage. Alcala has been compared to the likes of Ted Bundy, with as many as 215 murders to his name! He would torture his victims, by strangling them just until they lost consciousness, then he would rape them, and when they come too, he would repeat this process several times before finally killing them.https://amzn.to/46VlkiIBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

One evening in the summer of 1998, homicide detective Danny Payne sat in a dark room in a Tennessee suburb police station. He was focused on a TV screen where some surveillance footage played. The recording was bad quality, all blurry and pixelated. But it was still clear what the camera was pointed at – which was a nighttime scene of a McDonald's. On the screen, the shape of a person moved toward the restaurant door and disappeared inside. The video was too low quality to make out any identifying details... but the person wasn't what Payne was watching. He was focused, instead, on a car parked at the far end of the McDonald's lot. Payne had watched this video probably 30 times, but he'd never noticed the car before. Now that he saw it, though, he realized that nothing in this case, was what he had thought it was.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” and most recently, “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass.” FOLLOW CLUB RANDOM https://www.clubrandom.com https://www.facebook.com/Club-Random-101776489118185 https://twitter.com/clubrandom_ https://www.instagram.com/clubrandompodcast https://www.tiktok.com/@clubrandompodcast FOLLOW BILL MAHER https://www.billmaher.com https://twitter.com/billmaher https://www.instagram.com/billmaher Learn more about your ad choices.
