338 - Three Mile Island Nuclear Disaster

From 1977 to 1980, Joseph Paul Franklin went on a multi-state murder and mayhem spree, bombing a synagogue, shooting at people exiting another, and shooting interracial couples, lone black men, women who had previously dated black men, and a white porn magazine owner for publishing nude photos of an interracial couple. All in a delusional attempt to ignite a race war.  Find out how an abused and confused little boy named James Clayton Vaughn, Jr. transformed into a full grown monster, Joseph Paul Franklin. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G__kfGHdqi8Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

Ervil LeBaron was raised by a cult leader... would have several brothers who were cult leaders...and would father several more cult leaders. And out of all of them, he was the worst. The Mormon Manson loved to call for blood atonement -  ordering the execution of between  20 and 30 people, many of them rival cult leaders. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ss5QOux5xtwMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

Have you ever heard of disturbing serial killer Richard Byrd? He raped and strangled eight young women to death in Las Vegas between 1991 and 2001, but almost no one has heard of him, because he was arrested... the day after 9/11. And he took a plea bargain and never went to trial. Hear his wild story today... and never think about hair brushes the same way again.Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2ndQSjHBWPsMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

On July 2nd, 2021, 22 year-old Gabby Petito and her fiancé, 23 year old Brian Laundrie, left the quaint hamlet of Blue Point, Long Island to embark upon on a cross-country adventure in a white, modified, 2012 Ford Transit Connect van. Less than two months later, what appeared to be the trip of a lifetime based on social media posts, ended in both of their deaths.  Hope you enjoy this Short Suck!

Very informative episode today! I learned so much and hope you do too. We explore the history of human psychedelic usage, and also dive into the origin, properties, dangers, and benefits of the most popular psychedelics today: LSD, MDMA, Magic Mushrooms, DMT, and Peyote.  I loved psychedelics before this episode, and love them even more after learning what I share this week. Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jxcKBIgK0ucMerch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

Did you ever think that overeating, specifically, could send your soul to Hell? Or that not losing enough weight, fast enough, could jeopardize your salvation? These are just some of the many terrible (and bizarre) messages that very skinny self-proclaimed "prophetess" Gwen Shamblin Lara preached before she died in a plane crash in 2021.   Sadly, the cultish church she built, lives on. And this week, we explore (and mock) its weirdly weight-centric teachings.Watch the Suck on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3dKEiruxB4Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?

Jim Miller. Killin' Jim. Right before stepping off a wooden crate with a noose around his neck, in front of the members of the lynch mob that wanted him dead, Miller claimed to have killed 51 men. I believe him. This guy put the wild... in the wild west.  Hope you enjoy this Short Suck!
