Shed Gators | Villisca Iowa Axe Murders

Episode 150 | "They didn't have birth control back in the 1900's. You do it, you have a baby."

This week, we’re celebrating a major milestone—150 episodes of REMelations! To mark the occasion and embrace the October spirit, we dive into a mix of dream interpretations, quirky catnaps, and a chilling cold case.

Brooke kicks off the episode by interpreting Jake’s unsettling dream of a rundown house and a spouse who ignores him. She unpacks the symbolism and emotional undertones, revealing what these dream elements might represent in Jake’s waking life.

In the catnap segment, we share a series of wild and bizarre dreams: finding a great deal on Prada boots, recurring dreams of feeding stray cats, binge-eating alligators, a strange visit to a superhero hospital, and a dream about a tasty and intelligent head soup.

To celebrate both our 150th episode and spooky season, Mindy explores Iowa’s most infamous cold case, the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders. In this deep dive, we examine the brutal, unsolved mystery that has haunted Iowa for over a century.

Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on our experience at the Iowa Podcast Awards, where we were thrilled to win Best Comedy Podcast. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re grateful to all of our listeners for supporting us through 150 episodes.
