aflevering The Devils Highway artwork

The Devils Highway

In this episode of The Arkins Hearth Podcast, we travel down the infamous Devil's Highway, formerly U.S. Route 666, a lonely stretch of road cutting through the American Southwest. Blending documented history, real-world tragedies, unsolved mysteries, and decades of local legends, we explore how a dangerous highway became a breeding ground for stories of phantom vehicles, unexplained encounters, UFO sightings, and supernatural folklore. Is the fear surrounding the road rooted in something paranormal, or does isolation itself create the perfect conditions for legend? Join us as we separate fact from folklore and examine why the Devil's Highway still haunts the imagination long after its name disappeared from the map.

aflevering The Strong City Cult artwork

The Strong City Cult

In this episode of The Arkin’s Hearth, we explore the disturbing story of Strong City and the Lord Our Righteousness Church, a secluded religious group led by Wayne Bent, also known as Michael Travesser. What began as an apocalyptic breakaway movement from the Seventh-day Adventist Church evolved into a high-control cult centered around Bent’s claims of divine authority and messianic identity.

Part Five: Shadows in Albuquerque: Finale Part Two

In this finale episode of Shadows Over Albuquerque, host Michael Jason Chandler and the Arkins Hearth crew examine the ongoing federal case against Labar Tsethlikai, a Zuni Pueblo man accused of multiple violent crimes across New Mexico between 2022 and 2024. The episode explores the investigation, forensic evidence, witness testimony, and arrest that led to national attention on the case, while also discussing the broader impact of violence against Indigenous communities, Albuquerque’s crime trends, and the difficult question of whether the allegations fit the definition of a serial killer.

Part Three: Shadows in Albuquerque: The Sunport Murders

This episode of The Arkins Hearth explores the chilling case of Sean Lannon, whose crimes came to light after four bodies were discovered in a vehicle at Albuquerque’s Sunport in 2021. The hosts trace Lannon’s unraveling life, the brutal murders of people close to him, and the multi-state investigation that followed. After his arrest, Lannon confessed to multiple killings, though many details remain unclear. The episode reflects on the victims, the unanswered questions, and how an ordinary place became the center of something horrific. Art by: The Pixie REFERENCES Wikipedia contributors. (2026). Sean M.
