In episode 35 of the Dancing Toaster we dive into the case of: The Enfield Poltergeist.
It remains one of the most infamous paranormal cases in modern history. In the late 1970s, the Hodgson family of North London found themselves at the center of a storm of strange disturbances—knocks that followed from room to room, furniture sliding on its own, toys flying like shrapnel, and the chilling voice of “Bill Wilkins” speaking through eleven-year-old Janet. Investigators, neighbors, journalists, and even police officers witnessed events they could not explain, while skeptics pointed to trickery and stress within the family. Was it a haunting, a hoax, or something darker masquerading as the dead? The case became so iconic that decades later it was dramatized in The Conjuring 2, cementing its place in pop culture and introducing the haunting of Green Street to a new generation. But behind the Hollywood spectacle lies a much more complicated, and perhaps more sinister, reality. In this episode of The Dancing Toaster, we dive deep into the chaos of Enfield, peeling back the layers of deception, grief, and spiritual danger that made it a story still debated to this day.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
