  • Keep politics out of entertainment

    Interesting content but not sure why political opinions are weaved into stories that are 50 years old.

  • sucks since Kenyon left

    This used to be basically the perfect podcast. Shout out to my Gateway Gal, Jessy Majors, for hooking up with these people for a pretty good five-year run. I love the blue humor, and the rapport these three had with each other was infectious.

    Definitely listen to the first 200 episodes or so, they are legit, and all of the live episodes are great as well.

    Kenyon got stupid and had to be done away with, but now the show sucks. Amanda doesn't even try to deliver any meaningful content. I'm stil... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep94 Gossip at the Corpse Cart
Q: Laurah, did you know that, have you thought, has this crossed your desk before?
Norton says she has worked primarily with forensic anthropologists and has encountered excavations of intact human remains, but the recovery of cremated remains from fire debris was new to her.
Ep92 Gossip at the Corpse Cart
Q: How do you see AI influencing human relationships, based on what you've written about in your audiobook?
AI can simulate connection, but it risks replacing real human bonds; guardrails and ethical considerations are essential to prevent erosion of authentic relationships and to ensure AI complements rather than substitutes human empathy.
Ep91 Gossip at the Corpse Cart
Q: How did Aaron become involved with Ghost Wax and Passages, and what does that work bring to the podcast's energy?
Aaron describes his background across acting, audio engineering, and production work on Ghost Wax and Passages, which adds a multi-layered technical and performative energy to the show, helping shape behind-the-scenes discussions and guest interactions.
Ep466 Natural History Crimes
Q: What makes a field blend different from other wine blends?
A field blend ferments all grape varieties together in one tank, rather than blending separate wines later, which makes the wine more terroir-expressive and reliant on the land's balance rather than controlled separation of varieties.
(Uncorked Exclusive) Spooky Lil Bitch: Veterinary Pathologist
Q: What other kinds of case situations do you run into just like day to day?
Cases vary significantly based on species and age, with many older animals being euthanized due to age-related health issues compared to younger animals that need to be assessed on a group basis.
