episode 127: The Dark History of Pigeons: Rats With Wings or Unknown Heroes?


Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Never in history has there been a more unappreciated animal than the pigeon. Most people think they are just disease infected rats with wings. Right? But actually, pigeons were our companions for centuries. All they wanted to do was help us send our silly little messages and stop wars, and what did they get in return? A whole lot of injustice, that's for sure.

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History...

episode 126: Dark History: Wait... WHO'S paying for the Olympics?


Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Now, before the Olympics were a thing, it was really just a bunch of Greek competitions about testing physical limits. They had no fancy ass equipment or Nike sponsorships. But since then, a lot of people have been abused, and  cities have been destroyed...

episode 125: Dark History: Thousands of Women Died in These Secret Asylums


Hi friends, happy almost St. Patty’s Day!

I’ll be honest with you… it’s hard to shock me anymore. So when I tell you that this story that I found *SHOOK ME* to my core… you know it’s for real. While I was looking into lesser-known Irish history, I kept reading about these things called the Magdalene Laundries. And while something like “laundry” seems innocent enough, this story is anything but that...

episode 124: Dark History: Was this demonic 90s toy SPYING on us!?


Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Remember Beanie Baby Mania? It was INSANE. Everyone thought these things would be worth thousands. And then outta nowhere, Furby showed up and completely changed the game, terrorizing kids and adults alike with those creepy little eyes and phrases. If you’re a 90s kid like me, chances are you had one of these iconic toys...

episode 123: The Dark History of Hedy Lamarr: You can Thank this Hollywood Bombshell for Wifi


Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Did you know the person who paved the way for the invention of Wifii was one of the most controversial actresses in Hollywood? I know. Random! Today’s episode is about the one, the only, Hedy Lamarr. It turns out, we owe Hedy A LOT. Without her advancements in film and technology, the world would be a VERY different place… She came (onscreen), she saw (war), she conquered (Hollywood)...

episode 122: The Dark History of Childbirth: We’ve been giving birth ALL WRONG


Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Despite what some people may say, birth is not a problem that needs solving–it's a natural journey that we just need guidance to help us get through (And of course, doctors, midwives, doulas…you get it). As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how scary and borderline traumatizing childbirth can be. But not only that… how downright dangerous it is! So on that note, let’s get to it: the Dark History of Childbirth...

episode 121: The Dark History of Valentine's Day: Hate Mail, Orgies, and Animal Sacrifice??


Hi friends, happy Valentine's Day!

Maybe it’s all the social pressure, but personally, Valentine’s Day is not my favorite holiday. And I know I’m not alone in that. Sometimes it feels like Valentine’s Day is just one big scam. Like, why is there only *ONE DAY* to show people we love them? Where did all this pressure come from?! Well turns out, Valentine’s Day has a super surprising backstory…

episode 120: PROOF that the FBI targeted, tracked, and unalived Americans! | The Dark History of COINTELPRO


Hi friends, happy Thursday

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. It’s no secret that the FBI has had a bad reputation for spying, sleuthing, and watchlists. But where did it all begin? At some point, the FBI went from just keeping an eye on people to actively trying to ELIMINATE them. They had their sights set on an up-and-coming inspirational leader from within a growing American movement, and they would do whatever it took to take them down...

episode 119: The Petty Creep who led the FBI | The Dark History of J. Edgar Hoover


Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. There’s always all this talk about who REALLY has the power in America. So I did a little digging, and discovered a not-so-great guy named J. Edgar Hoover–made famous for his 48-year racist reign over the FBI. And just as we thought, the guys pulling the strings ARE, in fact, also confiscating our nudes! Go figure. Between all the spying, lying, and legal murder of a beloved civil rights leader, J...

episode 118: Nude, rude, and screwed: The Dark History of Nail Salons


Hi friends, happy Thursday!

Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Did you ever consider that the baddest b*tch you know wouldn’t be anywhere without…the fall of Saigon? Turns out, this major historical moment has a LOT to do with the nail salons we spend so much time in today. But just how did these salons get their start? And at what cost do these salons keep us feeling cute? After this episode, I have a whole new level of respect for nail salons...
