All Episodes

October 23, 2022 • 17 mins

What if a whole area, in this case, an entire coastline, is a cursed and ghostly realm? Whatipu and the beaches along New Zealand’s West coast have had countless reports of strange incidents over the years. The Gibbons Homestead at Whatipu Lodge is said to be the home of a daytime apparition, The Pink Lady. The caves that used to host dances and parties are still echoing the sounds of laughter and conversation, decades later… Join Angus King as he explores the rich and varied stories – history and legend – of Whatipu.

If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
