We're kicking off our Cults Crimes and Conspiracy month with the disturbing case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. To the outside world, DeeDee Blancard was a dedicated, loving mother who took care of her gravely ill daughter, Gypsy Rose. Gypsy had been confined to a wheelchair since childhood and and had suffered from a range of serious illnesses, including leukemia and muscular dystrophy...Or so we thought. However, in June 2015, Dee Dee was found brutally murdered in the family's home. The investigation that followed revealed a shocking web of lies and deception that had been made by Dee Dee.

To cover the SEX in "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, Tess decided to tackle the vibrator- because what better way to get into the Holiday spirit? She starts off by debunking a huge myth about how the Vibrator was invented (that was actually finally validated as false in only 2018) and then goes throughout the early 1900s, to the feminist movement in the 70s, to today, to analyze how we talk about and dissect female pleasure and sexual liberation. Detours include: Sex and the City, childhood horny tendencies and of course, just a lot of sex talk. Created and produced by Claire Donald and Tess Bellomo.

In our second episode of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, we got the chance to interview Charlotte Cruz, who is the co-founder of Alice Mushrooms. Coming from a background in Food Studies, and her co-founder who was in Pharmaceuticals, we loved getting to chat with another female founder as to why she started this amazing company, focused on wellness for women...in the bite of a delicious piece of chocolate. Who doesn't love that? We picked her brain about the benefits of functional mushrooms, the rise in popularity of mushrooms in general from using them as medicine, to microdosing to tripping, and also learned about the struggle to legalize Psilocybin in this country.

You Rammies have been asking for months now so of course we had to deliver.

In this week's episode, we have guest and friend of the pod, Shannon Dee host to take on the rather disturbing subject of Mary Kay Letourneau, the elementary school teacher who fell in love, and ended up marrying, her 6th grade male student in the 90s...they first met when he was in 2nd grade and started their "affair" in 6th grade. This was a media frenzy and one of the first of its kind, because the public had such a difficult time believe a woman and teacher could be this predatory. While many themes in this episode are shocking, it is also very heartbreaking and may be triggering to some. We'd like to offer a SA and rape trigger for the entire episode.
