  • Inbetween 23.5 - Olga Hepnarová Pt.2
    2024/05/10

    First of all, our sincerest apologies for the delay. If you follow our instagram (nudge nudge wink wink), you might have seen that Lina’s laptop decided to die on us and it took a few days to get everything up and running again. But here it is, finally: part two of the Olga Hepnarová case where we discuss the actual crime, trial and sentencing.

    Story starts at 10:56.


    INFO ON BREAK: We mentioned in the last episode that we are going on a two-week break, but we realized it will be much longer before we can record again so we should be back with a new episode on Monday, June 3. Check out our instagram @murderonsilkroad to stay up to date and who knows, we might even post some travel photos?

  • 21 - Shaolong and the Huaxing Cult
    2024/04/02

    Today's episode is one day late, not because Lina procrastinated with editing but because it was April Fool's day yesterday (very convenient indeed)! Strap in for our very first cult story on the podcast about Shaolong, the young dragon of Taiwan, and his cult of 40 years. Brace yourself for some questionable musical numbers and the more sinister sides of this doomsday cult. TW: sexual assault and suicide.
