Introducing: CONSPIRACY THEORIES, CULTS, AND CRIMES

Besties, Boozers and Shakers! Welcome to our live studio sitcom aka Episode 449, where this week the pod is taken over by our friends and newest ParaPods recruits, Morgan and Taylar from Creeps and Crimes! To celebrate C&C joining the network, we've got a double two-parter extravaganza for everyone. First Morgan covers part one of the Smurl Family Haunting, the inspiration for the newest Conjuring movie. Then Taylar dives into part one of the Dartmouth Murders aka a tragic case involving the murders of Susanne and Half Zantop, professors leading the loveliest of cozy, accomplished lives. And is this the full circle fangirl moment of our podcasting dreams? …and that’s why we creep! P.S. Catch Em and Christine covering part two of both stories on Creeps and Crimes, releasing on their feed this Thursday!!
