  • Some magic lost

    I love this show. Don’t get me wrong. But things have changed a lot since the golden era of the original trio. The show has streamlined so much. Many of the things like pop culture flash and the fun back and forths are gone. It’s become a straightforward relaying of facts. That’s not what I loved about this show before.

  • I miss the old podcast

    I loved this podcast when it was the original trio, didn’t miss any episodes, it flowed nicely. now unfortunately I find myself just checking who their talking about & debating whether to attempt to listen to it or not. I miss when they used to talk about songs or movies that came out during the same year said event happened came out. To me personally now it’s an overload of in between loud banter that ruins it for me. I don’t mind some at times but it seems like it’s where I find myself debatin... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Really Killed Kurt Cobain? New Murder Theory Unplugged (Episode 137 ft. Chris Todd)
Q: What leads you to believe this was a murder and not a suicide?
The evidence suggests staging, lack of fingerprints on the gun, and the presence of multiple people around at the time of death all point towards foul play rather than suicide.
Who Really Killed Kurt Cobain? New Murder Theory Unplugged (Episode 137 ft. Chris Todd)
Q: What was Kurt's state of mind before his death?
Kurt seemed to be entertaining others at the rehab center, which contradicts the notion of him being deeply depressed; he had a sarcastic sense of humor.
The Secrets Behind the Spills: The Deaths of ABC's Wipeout and More (Episode 133 ft. Peet Montzingo, Jacque Martinez and Ben Kissel)
Q: Would you ever do it again?
Yeah, but only if I was still in my 20s. I don't think I could physically do it now.
The Secrets Behind the Spills: The Deaths of ABC's Wipeout and More (Episode 133 ft. Peet Montzingo, Jacque Martinez and Ben Kissel)
Q: So when you see it on TV, how hard are these punching things?
They're pretty hard. They come out, they're on springs.
The Secrets Behind the Spills: The Deaths of ABC's Wipeout and More (Episode 133 ft. Peet Montzingo, Jacque Martinez and Ben Kissel)
Q: Alejandro, would you ever do it knowing what you do?
That was a hard no. No one has a teeth.
