    Hold fast to dreams. For if dreams die, Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams. For when dreams go, Life is a barren field Frozen with snow." - Langston Hughes Dreams, and dreams within dreams. The mysteries of the subconscious. The stories of the inner mind. The insight of our deepest emotions, hopes, dares, and fears. And also that weird one where you have to give a speech in school and you're in your underwear. Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas discuss the machinations of the subconscious on today's Can You Repeat That?

  • E15. Hey Siri, call Mom
    Jul 21 2024

    Many (if not all) of us have been accused of things we didn't do, but I would hazard a guess that in most cases the police didn't get involved. Join Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas for a tale of kidnapping, intrigue, conspiracy, police that are REALLY bad at their jobs, and a criminal with....morals? Kind of? (...not really. They didn't have morals. It's just...weird. You'll see what I mean). On today's Can You Repeat That?, the story of Denise Haskins, the real-life 'Gone Girl'.

    Jul 14 2024

    Atlas told us that his father once came home, wide-eyed. He asked the question: '....Would you think an 1/8 of an inch would make a difference? It did.'. Sometimes, the smallest details and errors and cause horrendous accidents. In today's episode, for example, a small lightbulb malfunction led to once of the worst disasters in American aviation. Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas explore the ill-fated Flight 401, on today's episode of Can You Repeat That?

  • E13. Springfield MO, you know what to do..
    Jul 7 2024

    See if you can pick out which of these things is not like the others: 1) an 'ideal son' and talented musician. 2) A church deacon and respected pillar of the community. 3) A trusted and skilled pharmacist. 4) A psychopathic control-happy murderer responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Did you guess number 4? You're wrong. Because the person on today's episode was all of these things and sadly more. Join Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas as they discuss the stain upon humanity that is Robert Courtney.

    Humankind's love affair with bacon can be traced back to as early as 1500 BCE, if not even before. Earliest records show the Chinese were the first to began to salt and cure pork belly. Over the centuries, the process has been refined but remains much the same as all those years ago. You can't beat a classic. But one man decided to change it all. A brave, enterprising Canadian pig farmer turned deadly serial killer wanted to give the world something new: delicious pork...and human prostitute. Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas dive into the meatloaf mix from Hell on today's Can You Repeat That?

  • E11. The Crone of Catskills
    Jun 23 2024

    In the words of the wise Mike Wazowski, "Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me...". There are a number of things that just have the look of something that shouldn't be picked up. Like cacti, or angry badgers, or weird carved totems with nails driven into the eye sockets. You know, just things that your idiot friend picked up and now you have to deal with supernatural infestations. On today's episode, Leslee, Chantelle, and Atlas follow the tale of someone who didn't put that thing back where it came from, and what followed as a result.

    Jun 9 2024

    Half-life is the time required for a quantity of substance to reduce to half of its initial value. For example, the half-life of radium-226 is approximately 1,600 years, whereas the half-life of Atlas' patience for companies that kill their workers and then try to blame said workers is approximately 0.5 nanoseconds. How are these things connected? Find out today as Chantelle, Leslee, and Atlas discuss the largely (and sadly) forgotten Radium Girls.
