Side Stories: Maternal Instict

2011 was a year to remember: Osama Bin Laden got got, Game of Thrones premiered its first episode, and a young woman by the name of Casey Anthony was being tried for killing her own daughter in what appeared to be the most callous crime a mother could commit. We haven’t talked about her since our series on the case in Episode 307 of the Last Podcast on the Left, but today, we’re diving back into the strange and troubled world of Miss Casey Anthony and the trial that gripped the nation.

The boys close out the story of Anton LaVey with Sammy Davis Jr.’s unlikely turn as Satanic showbiz royalty, Michael Aquino’s nerdy revolt against the Church of Satan, and the Satanic Panic that transformed the Black Pope from America’s boogeyman into a washed-up warlock clinging to lawsuits, legends, and one final lie.

The boys return with this week’s biggest stories and true crime news as SmartSchoolboy9 crawls back into the light with a warning, daredevils around the world take things one step too far, and Henry goes head-to-head with Disclosure Day. Then, drag royalty descends upon Side Stories as the boys are joined by the one and only Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 for the release of her new single, "Revolution".

Marcus, Henry, and Ed return to the story of Anton LaVey as the Church of Satan enters the spotlight, crossing paths with Susan Atkins, Michael Aquino, and the heavily borrowed Satanic Bible. But as the rituals get bigger and the followers get weirder, LaVey finally makes it in Hollywood, where his influence reaches The Devil’s Rain and Mr. Show Business himself, Sammy Davis Jr.

Henry & Eddie present this week's biggest stories and weirdest news - new Michael Jackson rumors claim he rescued children from Epstein Island, UFO Scientists continue to go missing while hiking, Nick Reiner seeking inheritance funds to pay for defense attorney, the ballad of Looney John Franklin Toon, Meet the 37-Year-Old Woman who posed as 12-Year-Old Autistic Child To Con Family, Eddie vs. Summer House, Listener E-Mails, and MORE!
