  Shadows of Jim Crow: The Atlanta Ripper and the Women the City Forgot

  Jun 14, 202544 minS1

  <b>Atlanta, 1911.</b> Black women like Rosa Trice are turning up dead, again and again, and the city barely flinches. No headlines. No suspects. No justice. Just silence.<br /><br />But this episode? We’re dragging that silence into the daylight.<br /><br />Because when the history books forget… we remember.<br /><br />Throw in some zombies, a house that suspiciously vanished, and the kind of systemic racism that still hits way too close to home. And yeah, it gets real.<br /><br />Not your grandma’s ghost story.<br />

In Episode 13, we crack open 13 infamous beliefs — the Devil’s Dirty Dozen — and trace the fears, rituals, and side-eye superstition that kept our ancestors alive (and kinda paranoid).<br /><br /><br />From haunted mirrors to Hoodoo mojo bags, this episode explores the rituals we still cling to when life feels unhinged.<br /><br />Are they silly? Sacred? Or both?<br /><br />You may not believe in superstitions....but you still knock on wood, do

  Mar 26, 202540 minS1

  Nothing Really Matters… Except This Song

  Feb 12, 202523 minS1

  <b>What is Bohemian Rhapsody even about?</b> Regret? Fate? Random murder? My kid hit me with that question in the car, and I had to face the truth—I had no idea.<br /><br />So in this episode of Bygone Echoes, we’re exploring one of my favorite topics—music! We’ll rewind to 1975: a time of global chaos, disco rebellion, funk power, and rock bands getting extra (looking at you, Led Zeppelin). And at the center of it all? The weird, chaotic genius of Queen’s most legendary song. Record labels told Queen a six-minute rock opera was career sui...
