This week Adam (he/him) takes us to sunny California to experience everyone's biggest fear: being buried alive. But this has the added horror of 26 small students and their kindly bus driver being kidnapped and again I say, BURIED ALIVE! oof. I can't breathe just typing it.
Next, Bec (they/them) tells us the story of the Hollywood Con Queen, a con artist so good they swindled hundreds of people from all over the world. All the while pretending to be some of the biggest women in Hollywood.
