  • #595 - More Than A Family Feud - Quincy, Illinois
    May 15 2025

    This week, in Quincy, Illinois, when a "perfect couple" begin divorce proceedings, things are anything but perfect. They go back & forth with accusations & demands. This continues, until one of them is found, brutally murdered, in their own home. Could an off the cuff remark, on the gameshow "Family Feud" be a key to the whole thing, or is there more of a mystery? As the evidence piles up, with incriminating internet searches, the real killer comes in to focus!


    Along the way, we find out that you can't escape Bret Michaels, no matter where you go, that when Steve Harvey asks you a question, keep your mouth shut, and that not everyone keeps stacks of plastic grocery store bags in their house!!

  • #594 - Family Murder Spree - Chugiak, Alaska
    May 9 2025

    This week, in Chugiak, Alaska, a senseless murder is quickly solved, when one of the participants goes to police, and spills all the details. The problem is, this only leads to more murder, when the killers seek revenge on the one who squealed. An elaborate plan is hatched, among a family of criminals, leading to a huge explosion, and the wrong people being killed. Luckily, someone in the conspiracy had a conscience, and unravels the whole thing!!


    Along the way, we find out that in Alaska, you are just as likely to be eaten by a bear, as you are to be killed in any other way, that families who kill together, don't necessarily stay together, and that pregnant ladies named "Peggy" probably shouldn't participate in murders!!

I started listening to this podcast a few years ago, and it is one of the few that I still listen to and download weekly. The stories are true, the hosts are funny and smart, and each episode stands completely alone. As someone who has lived in a few small towns, I like that all the stories are from small towns. The episodes that featured towns in my state were always really interesting.

Love the hosts! Love the stories! I listen and re-listen to every episode. Embarrassingly, I can go verbatim with some of them. Warning: Possibly addictive. You will not regret it, give them a listen.

The episode where your grandma steals the body of christ almost made me crash my car from laughing. I'm sure my Nonna would have done the same thing if she knew where the church kept the bread
