In this disturbing episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unearths the horrifying story of Robert Pickton, the Canadian pig farmer who turned his Port Coquitlam property into a slaughterhouse for the forgotten. From the 1980s to early 2000s, women—many Indigenous, poor, and sex workers from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside—vanished without a trace. Behind the façade of “Piggy’s Palace,” Pickton lured victims with drugs, money, and parties, then butchered them in the same barns where he raised livestock. For years, law enforcement ignored cries from families, activists, and survivors—allowing Pickton to claim the lives of at least 49 women, possibly more. This 28-minute true crime descent explores his twisted upbringing, the systemic failures that let him operate for decades, and the nightmarish discovery that shook Canada to its core. What happens when a country refuses to count the lost—until it's too late?

Boysober

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.
