Murder, My DudeEpisode 112 - Brooklyn Thrill Killers, My DudeNOTE: This episode has a companion episode of our sister show, Podantic, designed to be listened to in tandem. You can find that episode here: https://anchor.fm/podantic/episodes/Episode-12---EC-Comics-e1570hi
The Brooklyn Thrill Killers is one of the many salacious names given to a group of four teenage boys in the aforementioned New York City borough who found themselves at the center of a crime spree that left at least one person dead and started a firestorm that changed the comic book industry as we know it. This week, we explore their story.
2021-08-081h 48PodanticEpisode 12 - EC ComicsOnce more, we’re doing a little something different!
Believe it or not, we’re going to try being a bit more structured and focused. As such, this week’s episode will be a look at one specific story: the tale of EC Comics.
Once an industry juggernaut primarily responsible for a boom in horror comics - including EC’s beloved Tales From The Crypt - a 1950s crackdown on comics because of their supposed links to juvenile delinquency led to the company’s fall from grace.
We cover their story this week!

We’re still going to explore the origins of some words and phrases, but this week we turn back the clock to explore the year 1992!
It’s not all Dream Team and Crystal Pepsi, though, as Jackson and B.P. recount the events that shaped the year for them - and before you go getting any ideas, Pizza Hut, we think the statute of limitations is up.

If you’ve ever read a book in the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew series, or seen one of the myriad television adaptations of either, you may be surprised to know that the authors behind those two series, Franklin W. Dixon, and Carolyn Keene, respectively, weren’t real people.
We also look into other famous ghostwriters, the sordid history of William Shakespeare, and much more!
...2021-04-111h 13PodanticEpisode 3 - From Exposé to ExpozThis week, Jackson and BP start by exploring the history of the super-successful 80’s freestyle group Exposé. The real story behind the band - more specifically, the original trio that had been swept under the rug for decades - has only recently emerged.
Along the way, more assorted topics are explored: the origin of pickling, French accent markers, and more!
And our quote game, temporarily named Who Said That?, returns!

Burke vs the last name of this week’s main attraction: William Heirens (Heir-ens? Hair-ens? Hi-rens?)
However you pronounce it, Heirens was accused of being Chicago’s infamous Lipstick Killer, suspected of murdering two women and a six-year old girl in the mid-1940s. While Heirens confessed to the crime, he quickly recanted and many believe him to be innocent. This week, we take a closer look at the crimes and the accused criminal.
