Side Stories: Heist Stories

This week, the boys dive deep into Heinrich Himmler’s deranged Ahnenerbe - the SS’s “research institute” dedicated to proving Aryan supremacy through archaeology, mythology, and pure pseudoscience. From Karl Wiligut, the self-proclaimed prophet of Nazi meth, to Hans Hörbiger’s absurd “World Ice Theory,” we take a look at how crackpot archaeology, stolen children, and state-sanctioned madness fueled the SS’s occult obsession - and set the stage for the unimaginable horrors to come.

The boys sit down with modern master of horror, author Joe Hill joins the show to talk about his new horror fantasy novel King Sorrow, his journey as a struggling young writer, how his earlier stories helped shape this latest descent into darkness, and what it’s like to see his nightmares adapted for the screen. From twisted family legacies to haunting childhood tales, this one proves horror runs deep in the blood!

The boys pick back up with the story of Heinrich Himmler, as the Nazis lock down Germany following the Reichstag Fire. Himmler helps build the Nazi police state, with Dachau becoming the prototype for the Nazi concentration camps.
