You Ain't a'Woofin - History, Mystery, Crime, and Astrology
Long-time friends Amy Jo and Valerie put the woo in true crime through a historical and astrological take on living in interesting times! Odd numbered episodes feature The Timeline Twist where Valerie walks us through what life was like in our chosen year (1980 or before) followed by a true story from that year, told by Amy Jo. Even numbered episodes, Valerie shares her story (same year) and Amy Jo will deliver The Zodiac Back, reflecting on significant astrological transits at the time. So grab a beverage, relax, and hang with us as we reunite to have a laugh and tell some tales!
Episodes
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the tragic tale of three “blushing brides” found dead in their bathtub shortly after marriage. The investigator, spurred on by family members, witnesses, neighboring police, and the newspapers, uncovered puzzling details that led him to call on an OG forensic pathology legend who inspired an experiment that nearly resulted in a fourth death. Next, in the 1915 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo t...
On today’s episode, Valerie presents World War I in a nutshell (no big deal), the birth of the classic jumping snake prank, the most racist American movie ever made, a new kind of “gleaming glass” baking dish, and the popular dog treat that you never knew was invented by an MIT trained organic chemist in the 1915 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo shares the captivating story of Swedish activist Joe Hill, gifted song wr...

Next, Amy Jo shares what the outer planets were up to in 1834 - Pluto in Aries, Neptune (not discovere...
On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features a number of awful major events from 1834, a smattering of inventions, the burning of the Palace of Westminster in art, a discriminatory popular ballad (Boo!), a surprising medicinal condiment, and a strongly worded letter by none other than Davy Crockett.

On today’s episode, Valerie presents the story of a cousin-marrying, plantation owning, tobacco producing, aristocratic family in Colonial Virginia. What started off as a love triangle ended in shocking allegations, salacious rumors, hotshot attorneys, and a great scandal that became the 1700s “Trial of the Century”. Next, in the 1793 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo presents the astrological influence on the city of Washingto...
On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features a smattering of 1793 major events, the awful (unintended?) ramifications of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, Dominique Jean Larrey’s “Flying Ambulances”, the short-lived and totally unflattering Belly Pad Craze, and a butter-heavy “Pan-Cake” recipe from the Knight Family Cookbook. Next, Amy Jo covers the panic, and devastation of the yell...
On today’s episode, Valerie shares the story of the mysterious unsolved murder of a young man who checked into a Kansas City hotel early in 1935, and the bizarre details of his stay, his murder, the crime scene, and the disturbing investigation that followed. The letters and phone calls received in the aftermath of the crime only served to deepen the mystery. Next, in the 1935 Zodiac Back, Any Jo dives into the astrology of t...
On today’s episode, Valerie covers a triple violation of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, feeling the need for speed, new releases like Monopoly, Nylons, and the Wonderbra, top 1935 films, music, and amazing art depicting everyday themes of celebration and struggle, and a Great Gatsby style party during the tough times of the Great Depression in the 1935 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo shares a story about an anti-fascist plot to ...
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the quintessential 1800s story of seven bandits who attempted the first train robbery in the West. The heist went like clockwork aboard the Central Pacific Overland Express Train, Engine No. 1, but things fell apart quickly afterward thanks to a lone crack investigator and the less than stellar fortitude of a few of the would-be criminals. Next, in the Zodiac Back, Amy Jo covers the present d...
On today’s episode, Valerie presents a bit of history, including some firsts for African Americans in the USA, balloon mail, “Bourbon’s First Bottler”, an early solution to tinned food, the “Early Bustle Era” (can you say TRIM?), and a massive beer and BBQ party in Syracuse, NY, in the 1870 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo covers the excessively familiar story of a jilted lover turned murderess, but ...

On today’s episode, Valerie shares the sorrowful tale of Mary Ashford, who met a mysterious fate in the early morning hours after a local community dance. Her case led to the repeal of a long forgotten medieval law after the accused threw down the gauntlet (literally). As if that weren’t enough, Mary’s death is tied to an unsolved case 157 years later, with many eerie similarities (Time=Flat Circle). Next, in the ...
On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features some 1817 history (and warcake), The Cook’s Oracle cookbook including 11 ketchups and a Wow-Wow sauce, a cheat sheet for nervous dancers, a crazy strong liqueur, and the invention of the first strider bike known as the Laufmaschine (among other names). Next, Amy Jo shares the fascinating tale of a mysterious woman who walked out of the water into an English vil...
On today’s episode, Valerie shares an amusing story from the summer of 1907, when the small town of Clinton, Massachusetts was visited by not one, but two circuses. We discuss the almost back-to-back incidents including ladies jumping herds of elephants, gambling and sharp practices, a near riot, and a violent thunderstorm - all of which caused an evening of panic and confusion, and more than a little trouble for Clintonians....
