270: Moonshadow Ranch Preview

Most people go to the Black Rock Desert to party under neon skies. Nathan Morley went there to dig up a murder. Long before Burning Man, this same stretch of Nevada wasteland was home to something darker - a drifter named Ronald John Gress, known only by his nickname: Bristlewolf. He built a life in the middle of nowhere a hole in the ground, a shovel, and silence. And when the peace broke, three people ended up dead. Their bodies lay in the desert for ten days before anyone found them. For seven years, Nathan chased this story. He walked the same cracked earth, lived inside his dugout, pored over six thousand court files, police reports, and forgotten letters. He interviewed forty-two people, survivors, witnesses, lawmen, even the families of the dead. What he uncovered isn’t legend. It’s real. Bristlewolf isn’t fiction. It’s a true story about pride, madness, and the way the desert remembers what men try to bury.

In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we dig into the dark history buried beneath Dodger Stadium — Chavez Ravine. Before the cheers and bright lights, it was a thriving Mexican-American community. Then came the promises of progress, eminent domain, and bulldozers. What followed was betrayal, broken families, and one of Los Angeles’ most haunting sins: a story where the American Dream was stolen in the name of it.

Rachael takes us back in time to the 1850s in southern Colorado as The Coal Queen of Colorado, TRINIDAD is taking off. 

This week we are giving a sneak peak exclusive preview of a fictional radio broadcast from a shipping container radio tower on a ranch in a parallel dimension known as Moonshadow Ranch. This series is an original audio anthology featuring short stories, paranormal vignettes and independent artists performing a number of magic tricks that can be captured with microphones. It's background noise. It's prime time audio vision. There are a lot of Easter eggs. Give it a spin, we think you'll like it.

In one of the wildest afternoons in Major League Baseball history, the summer heat of 1984 boiled over into pure chaos.

By the seventh inning stretch 17 players and managers had been ejected and multiple fans had been arrested. In this episode Seven Deadly Sinners steps up to the plate for one of MLB’s wildest, weirdest, and most sinful showdowns.

Rachael travels to Creede, Colorado a cowboy town in the mountains founded in 1892 and comes across a creepy real life encounter tale of a cryptid sighting from a local that happened just south in New Mexico.

There is a cowboy we know, who would prefer to be called a "horseman" that long ago had a criminal past.... his stories are like Hollywood screenplays and most of them you wouldn't believe.... but this one, the tale of a hired hit, where the criminal listened to his conscious and against his better judgement be-friended the target.... this is a story we've been waiting a long time to gain his trust enough to let it be told on the podcast.
