AND WE’RE BACK! I'll Tell You What... It's been a REALLY long time since we posted an episode! We are so sorry that our lives have been kinda crazy lately & we haven't been able to post in a while. With that in mind we would like you let you all know that posting will probably stay a bit inconsistent for the time being, both Aislinn & Miranda have full-time jobs & lots of other obligations on the side. The podcast is a priority to us, but we be tired folks. We are super excited to get back to it! In this episode, Aislinn talks about the Titanic and the details around its demise. Did the Unsinkable Ship actually hit that iceberg accidentally? Or could it have been insurance fraud gone horribly wrong? Join us as we take a deep dive into one of history’s most tragic events.

WE MADE IT! Well... Kinda. We originally wanted to end our Second Season after 100 episodes, but as it hit the holiday season we thought it be best to take a short break now, and come back fresh faced in the new year. Thank you to all of our listeners who deal with our sometimes less than strict posting schedule. Just know we really appreciate you, and we are trying to become more consistent but with full-time jobs, family, and other responsibilities hanging over our heads sometimes it makes it hard to post on time. Without further ado, in this episode we will be discussing the infamous unsolved Murder of The Black Dahlia. Crime in the 1940's was rampant, especially because we didn't have a way to test DNA evidence at the time, so there are more than a few murders from the era that were never solved. The Black Dahlia - or the Murder of Elizabeth Short - was no exception to this. The gruesome details of her case have peaked many a true crime junkie's attention. That is why for our Season 2 Finale we are discussing her case today. Enjoy! Become a Patron: I'll Tell You What...

In this episode, Aislinn talks about not only the crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, but those in power that enabled him.  Going through the timeline of the police investigation into victims' claims, some disturbing revelations about those meant to carry out the law unfold.  Did US District Attorney Alex Acosta enter into a conspiracy to give Epstein the deal of a lifetime?   Even with such a powerful man's help, however, those fighting for the survivors would not rest.  When Acosta's plea deal got overturned and Epstein was forced to stand trial once more, however, the disgusting man was found dead in his jail cell before it even began.  Was this his way of escaping punishment for his heinous acts?  Or did one of his former friends want to keep him quiet? There's a lot to unpack here, and the best way to do it is by sharing the truths of those who matter most in the case: the survivors.

Thomas Ince had a heavy hand in how the movie industry was shaped back in the early 1910s.  Despite the notoriety he garnered during his life, however, it is perhaps his death that he is most widely known for.  Officially the records state that he died of heart failure, but is that all there is to the case?  What of the rumors that he was shot onboard the yacht of his close friend, media mogul William Hearst?  Why did so many people keep quiet about that night? Did he truly catch a stray bullet meant for Charlie Chaplin?  Over a century later, and we're still wondering what truly happened to Thomas Ince. Sources: Thomas H.
