Calling all cool teens! Stop snagging and necking and tune into our horniest episode ever! In episode 110 Em covers the Goatman(person?) of Maryland. It’s unclear whether he’s a genetic experiment gone wrong, a hairy old introvert, or simply an urban legend. What we do know, however, is that he’s 100% axe. But that’s not all! Em gives us a bonus story this week - the Pope Lick Monster! Or as we like to call him, the Pretty Little Monster. Meanwhile, Christine covers the story of Ira Einhorn, who considers himself Philadelphia’s very own planetary enzyme. However, we know him as a hypocritical, predatory murderer who did NOT invent Earth Day and also smells like a hoagie with onions. Moral of the story: contrary to popular belief, the world could use a little less hugging. And that’s why we drink! Please consider supporting the companies that support us!

Per usual, we have some wild and spooky journeys to take you on today: Em brings us the brutal creepiness that is the Beast of Gévaudan (a french story that throws Em back to their high-school french class days) and Christine tells the crazy story of Evelyn Dick and the 1946 Torso Murder (so buckle up).

Happy March, everyone! Did you know that knowledge is power and just because you're dead doesn’t mean your education has to stop?

If this plane goes down, don’t tell our mothers we were in group 8! We were home from tour long enough to record this week and are already back on the road to the Pacific Northwest and FREAKING CANADA! We also catch up on topics from Valentine's Day to hot sauce to voodoo, so buckle up. We do eventually tell some epic stories from our favorite live shows that didn't initially get recorded including Dear David and the murder of Viola Drath, aka the inspiration for the upcoming "The Worst Marriage in Georgetown"! We also introduce the newest member of the ATWWD family… a mummified lemon (named Lemon) Christine found under her bed in San Jose… and that’s why we drink! In Citrus and in Health!

Odds are we’re currently in an airport, on an airplane, or in an airport again. That’s why we’re coming at you live from Phoenix, AZ, this week! Em covers the Jerome Grand Hotel, which is full of bearded ghosts, headless ghosts, and best of all, cat ghosts. The hotel is also inexplicably proud of its ancient elevator, but we’d advise against using it. Next up, Christine picks one of Arizona’s many female murderers, Wendi Andriano, whose terminally ill husband just wasn’t dying fast enough for her liking.
