Ep 245: The Texas Killing Fields - Part 2

Ep 247: Contaminated - The Goiânia Accident

Let's talk about a real accidental nuclear accident - it's economic collapse, tied to poor security, that leads to deaths. In Brazil, while the economy collapsed in the 1980s, people tended to find scrap metal in buildings, including those that used to be hospitals, and those hospitals, in this case, had very dangerous radioactive materials left behind.   Those get stolen, and a crisis is afoot!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod [https://www.patreon.com/c/DoomedtoFailPod] We would love to hear from you!

Ep 246: Wings of Doom! - The Mothman & The Silver Bridge

Buckle up for an engineering disaster! In 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed, killing 46 people in the freezing Ohio River. Were there warning signs? The bridge itself passed inspections, but it was a tiny crack that was its doom... BUT people around the area had spent the past year reporting strange sightings! A man-shaped thing with glowing red eyes and wings, UFOs, Men in Black (and not the fun ones)! Was it all a warning??   Listen in to discuss how you should never go on a bridge, the logistics of sleeping with a man with bat wings, and more!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod [https://www.patreon.com/c/DoomedtoFailPod] We would love to hear from you!

Ep 244: Arsenic Obsession - The Valentine Meat-Juice Incident

Today let's talk about the 'murder' of James Maybrick - a businessman in Liverpool in the 1880s who loved to medicate with poisions. A good, what-doesn't-kill-me-makes-me-stronger kind of guy.   James's young American wife, Florence, will be accused and tried of murder. It's a story of unmet expectations, Victorian medicine, and a very strong case for prison reform, even well over 100 years later.   Florence's book is avaialble via the public domain - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/55773   Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod [https://www.patreon.com/c/DoomedtoFailPod] We would love to hear from you!

Ep 243: The Stars at Night are Big and Bright - The Texas Killing Fields

True Crime Tuesday (it's Monday) - let's explore the Texas Killing Fields - an expanse of land near Galveston (which is near the ocean) that has been used for decades to drop bodies. Mostly young women who were vulnerable, the stories are tragic. The murderers are terrifying in their ability to evade police (like getting out on bail and just disappearing to Panama).   This is part 1!  Join our Founders Club on Patreon to get ad-free episodes for life!  patreon.com/DoomedtoFailPod [https://www.patreon.com/c/DoomedtoFailPod] We would love to hear from you!
