Ep: 93 The Lovesick Case of Carl Tanzler

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2000061/fan_mail/new] Being Dead Serious podcast  Episode 93: The Lovesick case of Carl Tanzler  Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's bedtime story.  Prepare to dive headfirst into the bizarre, unsettling, and frankly, slightly unhinged world of Dr. Count Carl Von Cosel.... AKA: just ...Carl Tanzler.  This episode we'll unravel the unbelievable tale of a lovesick (to put it mildly) radiologist who, after his Cuban dream girl Elena Hoyos succumbed to tuberculosis, decided that "goodbye" was just a suggestion.  We're talking grave robbing, corpse preservation attempts that would make even a seasoned taxidermist raise an eyebrow, and a seven-year "roommate" situation that redefines "unconventional." Join us as we'll explore the questionable science, the even more questionable ethics, and the truly WTF moments that pepper this Floridian gothic horror story.  Was it love? Obsession? A severe misunderstanding of personal boundaries? We'll dissect it all with a healthy dose of dark humor mixed with the occasional nervous and always inappropriate laughter. Stay Strange

Ep: 92 The Brothers Grimm

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2000061/fan_mail/new] Being Dead Serious podcast  Episode 92: The Brothers Grimm is now available. Get ready for a wild ride with the Brothers Grimm!  This week, we're diving headfirst into their twisted tales.  We'll explore the bizarre world of "The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage," where breakfast plans go hilariously wrong.  Then, we'll meet the quirky couple in "Frederick and Catherine," and see how their cleverness (or lack thereof) gets them into trouble. "Faithful John" will have you questioning the meaning of loyalty, while "Thumbling" proves that size doesn't matter (much).  And brace yourselves with the ever-so-messed-up "The Juniper Tree," a story so dark, it makes the rest of the Grimms' collection look like a Disney movie.  It's a podcast episode packed with laughs, gasps and maybe a few nightmares that will leave you saying , "WTF....these are children's stories?!"  Stay Strange

Ep: 91 The Strange and Insane Victorian Era: Deadly Homes

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2000061/fan_mail/new] Being Dead Serious podcast  Episode 91: The Strange and Insane Victorian era: Deadly Homes Is now available. Tonight we are again covering our favorite crazy time period.... the Victorian era! But this time its all about their hilariously but horrific dangers that were lurking in their 19th-century homes!  Thank you flammable gas lighting (explosions: a feature!), arsenic-laced cleaning products (cleanliness to die for!), and Crinoline dresses (walking fire hazards!) We don't know how we survived without you! We'll also gasp at the vibrant yet deadly arsenic wallpaper, the "festive" tradition of candles on Christmas trees (what could go wrong?!), and the truly bizarre practice of using Lysol for feminine hygiene (no.... seriously...totally a thing...). Join us for a dark but always funny tour of Victorian domestic disasters that will make you appreciate your (relatively) safe modern home! Stay Strange

Ep: 90 The Gruesome Tale of Fox Hollow Farm

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2000061/fan_mail/new] Being Dead Serious podcast  Episode 90: The Gruesome Tale of Fox Hollow Farm Is now available.  Tonight we're diving deep into the Fox Hollow Farm murders, a  massive murderer case that you've never heard of but completely shocked the state of Indiana and the nation.  We'll examine the evidence, the timeline, and the psychological profile of the alleged killer, Herb Baumeister.  But beyond the standard true crime fare, we'll also be exploring a truly unique aspect of this case: the surprisingly frequent and detailed accounts from acquaintances and former associates regarding Baumeister's alleged and rather enthusiastic habit of… irrigating his surroundings....  Join us as we try to figure out if this peculiar behavior offered any clues to his dark psyche. Why does anyone really need 10 bathrooms?! Did Herb have a lucky victim OR was he a secret lover? We'll speculate wildly and probably make some uncomfortable jokes about the damp realities of this case. Stay Strange
