Freaky Friday: Episode 89

The most wonderful time of the year can also be the scariest. From centuries old winter tales to the most adapted holiday novella of all time, the holiday season has always had its fair share of frights. But why does gathering around the yule log incite within us a yearning to tingle our spines as well? This week’s episode is The Ghosts of Christmas. Click here for this week's show notes.

With their promises of finding true love coming due, the Master Christ and his wife were forced to come up with a plan. They channeled God and got a new message for followers that included the identities of their Twin Flames. But the names on the list didn’t match up with the feelings followers held in their hearts. After high profile members ducked out and the leaders demanded more loyalty, major publications took note. But the attention wasn’t quite flattering and revealed some of the group’s darker actions.

Instead of Freaky Friday this week, we're bringing you A Conversation with The Hero Maker Podcast.  Hosted by Jennifer Morrison, Vermont’s Commissioner of Public Safety, and Andrea Shreeman, a Writer/Director/Executive Producer in Los Angeles, their show centers around the 1988 murders of their college friends Rachael Raver and Warren Fulton III. Rachael and Warren's killer was Alfredo Prieto, a serial rapist and murderer who was convicted of just one murder before DNA evidence linked him to 8 others across the country.  Through conversations with those involved in the case as well as outside experts, Jen and Andrea hope to distill wisdom from law enforcement, public safety, and criminal justice professionals for their audience.  We talk with them about their journey from college classmates to starting the show, the impact of true crime media on policy change, how sudden violent acts change so many of those involved, the healing power of sharing stories, and so much more. Organizations mentioned in the interview: - Center for Council: https://www.centerforcouncil.org/ - No More Violence: https://www.nomoreviolence.net/home - The Poynter Institute for Media Studies: https://www.poynter.org/ For more on The Hero Maker Podcast, visit https://theheromakerpodcast.com/ Watch the full video interview: https://youtube.com/sinisterhoodpodcast Click here to sign up for our Patreon and receive hundreds of hours of bonus content.
