EP 51 Christmas Crossover with The Housewives of True Crime!

Hey Slaycation fans, we have a special treat for today's episode -- Gretchen & Tabitha from The Housewives of True Crime join 'More' Kim for a Holiday Slayover! Together, this newly formed throuple tackles the case of Dr. Ben Brown, a plastic surgeon, and the death of his wife Hillary Brown... from liposuction... performed by her husband! While it's more of a Staycation than a Slaycation, this bizarre case is filled with lots of twists and turns as well as plenty of character defects (ego, narcissism, hubris, vanity) for the ladies to dig into. Also, was it an accident, murder or just gross negligence? And whose idea was it for the already beautiful, 33-year old Hillary to undergo liposuction? Yep, there's a lot for these three housewives to talk about. Enjoy this special Holiday treat -- and don't worry, the boys will be back in town next week!

EP 50 And Then There Were Nun

Today's case takes us to Hallstatt, Austria, a beautiful touristy hamlet surrounded by mountains and lakes -- the perfect place to go hiking, swimming and Slaycating. In the summer of 2016, 72-year old Sister Eileen Christie, a beloved nun from Long Island, arrived for her annual pilgrimage full of energy and excitement. But when Sister Eileen didn't show up at the third hostel on her itinerary, and stopped all communication with her nephew back home, it was clear something was wrong. A major search was launched and a suspect emerged. But despite the best efforts of local law enforcement, including a private detective hired by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, Eileen's Order back in Long Island, the intrigue only deepened. Find out the details on one of our most baffling Slaycation mysteries. BONUS SLAY-VESTIGATION Before we even get into the case of Sister Eileen, Kim & Jerry bring to light a recent Slaycation Mystery that is active & on-going and in need of the Slaycation Nation's help!

Ep 47 Welcome to the Coast of Crime

Imagine this, you're a 12 year old girl living in Ireland, your parents have divorced and your Mother brings you to Spain on a "vacation," along with her new boyfriend, who you aren't particularly fond of. And then... BAM! You learn that this vacation is actually a staycation -- as in you're staying in Spain to start a new life due to Mom's boyfriend's business. Oh, and it's not just any part of Spain -- it's a touristy section nicknamed "The Coast of Crime." As crazy as this sounds, this actually happened to Amy Fitzpatrick in the mid-2000s. Like many unhappy teenagers, Amy starts spending more and more time away from home, but when she doesn't return from a friend's place on New Year's Day, 2008, it sets off an intense search, lots of questions and conflicting reports and a series of unfortunate tragedies that will leave you shocked and questioning everything you think you know about this case.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
