    The Scourge of Gallatin Street: Mary Jane “Bricktop” Jackson
    Mar 19 2024
    It’s Freaky Friday (Twisted Tuesday??) and Alana is taking over the mic. Buckle in for a wild ride through 1850s New Orleans where we meet all kinds of characters, most especially Mary Jane “Bricktop” Jackson. Mary was a sex worker who didn’t put up with any nonsense or disrespect. Those that dared found themselves on the wrong side of her blade. Despite her murderous actions, we’re willing to bet you might kinda like the gal, or at least, enjoy Alana’s love for her. Tea of the Day: Lady GrayTheme Music by Brad FrankSources:Asbury, Herbert.

    Highway of Tears: Part 3
    Mar 12 2024
    PART THREE. In Canada there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears. In this three-part series, we will be exploring this area and the devastating stories found alongside it.
