The bizarre case of The Pizza Bomber

The bizarre case of The Pizza Bomber

Cheryl and Nikki Druce are kicking things off with an insane bomb plot full of twists and turns… the wacky but totally true story of The Pizza Bomber. It’s a warm afternoon in August, 2003. A phone call is made to Mama Mia’s Pizza in Eerie, Pennsylvania. The resident delivery guy, Brian Wells, heads off to deliver the two large sausage and pepperoni pizzas… never to return. But how did a pizza delivery turn into one of the wildest and most bizarre bomb plots in modern day history? Cheryl and Nikki are about to find out. Expect tales of the most sinister scavenger hunt since Saw, a man who happily stores a dead body but draws the line at an ice grinder, and LOTS of talk about pizza…

The Spooky Sleepover: Can you manifest a ghost?

Cheryl’s mid-air and producer Alex is away, but Nikki is joined by a very special guest (and I think our spookiest one yet), Jed Shepherd — an actual horror movie maker. Jed’s film 'Host' is scientifically proven as the scariest horror film EVER. Together we’re deep diving into our rabbit holes of the week: can we manifest ghosts? Jed takes us back to the playground ghost hunts he used to run in primary school and it turns out… he started to get haunted by his own ghost and if you lived in south London, maybe you were too? Plus, we uncover if some prop bodies may actually be real life HUMAN CORPSES?! And we discover the origins of the Sourtoe Cocktail — the drink garnished with a human toe. Would you be brave enough to take a sip? Find out What Nikki and Jed think!Find Jed here: https://www.instagram.com/jedshepherdGot a theory? Been lost in a rabbit hole? We want to hear from YOU!
