😱 Scary news... but only for a week!

We’re taking a short break from releasing episodes, but don’t worry — we’ll be back next week with our Halloween special: Everything Is Demons. 👻

In this one, we’re diving into the fear, superstition, and control that came from being told the world was full of demons — and how that shaped the way we saw everything from movies to music to holidays.
So stay tuned, and maybe keep a light on… this one gets a little eerie. 🖤

now for next week's episode. So next week, Ashley and
I are going to do a Halloween scary stuff from

worldwide offshoots like the church that I grew up in,
Crusade Church. We'll look at some of their literature and

videos about what they thought about Halloween. Just spoiler our
alert very against it. It was very scary. It was
a portal to demons. Speaking of demons, we will also

you might know from the Bible or some other sort
of extra biblical texts and things, but from Crusade demons

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
