Bowie super fan Peter Abrams breaks down the many Personas of David Bowie and how each one shaped Bowie’s career, music, and legacy! He and Chris go all the way back to the origins of Major Tom and Space Oddity, the creation of Ziggy Stardust and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and the evolution into Aladdin Sane (yes, that lightning bolt!). They talk The Man Who Sold The World, Hunky Dory, Diamond Dogs and Halloween Jack, the soul era of Young Americans, and the Thin White Duke from Station To Station. They get into the Berlin trilogy (Low, Heroes, Lodger), the return of Major Tom in Scary Monsters, and Bowie’s massive global takeover with Let’s Dance. Peter also dives into Bowie’s later reinventions including Tin Machine, the experimental ‘90s (Outside, Earthling), and the overlooked albums that fans need to revisit. And they close with Bowie’s final chapter – Blackstar, the Lazarus musical, and the mysterious “Blind Prophet” Persona that left fans analyzing his work long after he was gone. Plus, they break down Bowie’s acting roles like The Man Who Fell To Earth and Labyrinth, the influence of John Lennon, the struggles with fame and addiction, and how Bowie constantly reinvented himself without ever repeating the same move twice.  Follow Peter Abrams on 📸 Instagram: @theoutsiderarts Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!

It’s Friday the 13th… so what better day to dig into the real story behind the most infamous date on the calendar? Chris Jericho welcomes geologist, forensic investigator, and history researcher Scott Wolter to break down the origins of Friday the 13th, the truth about the number 13, and why it became one of the most feared superstitions in the world. Scott explains how the legend connects to the downfall of the Knights Templar in 1307, why the number 13 may actually be a powerful and positive number tied to the Fibonacci sequence and the sacred feminine, and how centuries of myth-making turned it into a symbol of bad luck. He also discusses his controversial research into the Kensington Runestone, hidden history connected to the Templars, the discovery of the Talpiot tomb in Jerusalem, and why Friday the 13th still sparks fear, fascination, and superstition more than 700 years later.

Rob, Dave and Jesse from Hometown Ghost Stories join Chris Jericho LIVE inside the real Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts to break down the infamous 1892 Lizzie Borden axe murders, one of the most brutal and debated true crime cases in American history. Andrew Borden and Abby Borden were hacked to death with a hatchet inside this house. Lizzie Borden was arrested, put on trial, and acquitted after just 90 minutes of jury deliberation! They dissect the full timeline of the Lizzie Borden case including the mysterious 90-minute gap between killings, Lizzie’s conflicting alibis, the alleged prussic acid poisoning attempt, the burned dress controversy, the hatchet found in the basement, and the shocking autopsy details performed inside the home. They break down the prosecution’s four key pieces of evidence, the questionable police work, the media frenzy that turned this into one of America’s first national true crime sensations, and why the jury came back with a not guilty verdict so quickly. They also examine alternate suspects including Uncle John Morse, inheritance motives, the staged robbery theory, and whether Lizzie’s sister Emma or maid Bridget Sullivan knew more than they admitted. Plus, because this was filmed inside one of the most haunted houses in America, they explore the paranormal side of the Lizzie Borden House including reported full-body apparitions of Abby Borden, shadow sightings of Andrew Borden, EVPs believed to be Lizzie herself, and the infamous basement corner linked to scratches and dark activity. Is this one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in true crime history? Or did history get it wrong? Watch and decide.
