Season 10- Murder City, is here.
In this season, we'll be taking a trip back in time, to the years of prohibition and telling the story of a city where the streets ran red with blood, accompanied by the clink of liquor bottles, jazz music and rattli... more
The nineteenth century marked a great change in American history – it was the age of the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, and a time when science and reason were supposed to erase the myths and fears of the past. And yet, the Devil still managed... more
America’s first settlers were afraid of a lot of things and when they were afraid of something they reflexively connected it to the Devil – whether it was places like forests and woods or people, like the Native Americans who had predated their arriv... more
The Puritans and the early colonists found more monsters in America than just witches. The Devil had birthed a variety of what were often called “monstrous births” and they became signs and omens for the believers in an angry god. Spectral, shape-shi... more

If 10 stars were available, that’s what I would rate it. Troy is the definition of well researched and separates legend from lore. In the post narration discussion, Cody asks the questions we all are wondering and some I wouldn’t even think to ask. This duo is super engaged with their listeners and that speaks volumes to the kind of community they have built. Been listening since season 3 and won’t be stoping anytime soon.
I have been waiting for this subject !! I have commented on many posts hoping Troy would do it.
Thank you thank you and I can’t wait to listen
A distinguishing characteristic of Taylor’s work is his determination to uncover what he refers to as the “True Story” behind legends, myths and accounts of the supernatural. He seems to relish pulling back the curtain and exposing the Wizard, and many reviewers commend his Myth Buster style of separating fact from fiction. I however, am less persuaded by this method. In certain respects, it diminishes the experience for those who simply wish to enjoy the thrill such stories provide.

I truly used to love this podcast. It was my favorite podcast to fall asleep to. I need a good story to be engrossed in so that my ADHD brain can stop thinking about other things when I am falling asleep. The themes and storytelling are truly engaging. However the episode length before the recent change was perfect. Now I can’t listen to this podcast for the main reason that I loved it. I loved that it was a longer show because it lasted long enough for me to get into the story and fall asleep a... more
I have listened to this podcast for years! My favorite ones are the very old ones and I start them over and binge listen to these once or twice a year! Please don’t delete the old ones we love them thanks for this pod cast Cody and Troy !!!
