The Dark and Cringy Podcast

A High School Story

With Roe vs. Wade being struck down, and the threat of losing rights under an ultra-conservative Supreme Court, I've been thinking about an experience from high school.  I want to share the story of 'Rachel', one of my classmates who was a lesbian in a Catholic high school, and how it affected my life.

Brutal Canadian Cult: The Anthill Kids

Is it possible that the most intensely brutal and deadly cult leader in history was... Canadian?  In this episode, I'm proud to introduce my new permanent co-host, Chelle Merwin.  We discuss the life and death of Roch Theriault, the gruesome leader of the Anthill Kids.  Theriault fancied himself a motivational speak, messiah, holy being and even an amateur surgeon.  The levels of abuse to his follows is unprecedented.  This may be the cringiest episode ever!

John Norman Collins: The Ypsilanti Ripper

Episode 2 brings us a special treat, a special guest host, my mom.  Join us as we two proud Michiganders talk about John Norman Collins, on of the most brutal killers in Michigan history.  There are many twists and turns in this case, and its always fun to shock your mother!  Please join us as we discuss John Norman Collins' rampage during 1967-1969, in a time before DNA evidence and criminal databases, and the unusual and cringy way that he got caught.
