Welcome to Season 4, Episode 11.

We’re back in murder land.

We’re digging into one of the most heartbreaking and controversial chapters in true crime history: The Atlanta Child Murders.

We’re looking at the victims the world almost forgot and the man the system was desperate to pin it on - Wayne Williams. Was he a prolific predator, or a convenient scapegoat for a city on the brink of a race war? We’re peeling back the layers of a botched investigation, the FBI’s involvement, and why these cases are still being talked about decades later.

The poison for this episode is the Strawberry Lemon Drop.

• 2 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¾ oz Simple syrup
• 2-3 Large, ripe strawberries
• Splash of Cointreau or Triple Sec
• Sugar for the rim

Muddle two or three fresh strawberries in a shaker until pulverized, then add premium vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a splash of Cointreau with plenty of ice. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure it’s ice-cold, then double-strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a sugar (salt or both)-rimmed martini glass.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 10, Part 2.

We’re back in it.

In the final chapter of our dive into Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail Vol 2., we move out of the smoky backrooms of the 20th-century mob and into the high-tech, high-def world of the modern technocracy. Volume 2, Part 2 is about the digital harvest.

We’re picking up right where the "stray cats" met - Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This isn't just a story about a "creep" and his girlfriend; it’s a breakdown of the infrastructure that made them untouchable. We’re talking about the transition from physical polaroids in a safe to "algorithms in the cloud."

The poison for this episode is the Amaretto Sour.

• 2 oz amaretto (like Disaronno)
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz simple syrup (optional, depending on how sweet you like it)
• 1 egg white (optional)
• Ice
• Cherry or orange slice if you’re feeling fancy

Add amaretto, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) into a shaker without ice. Shake it hard - this is a“dry shake” to get that foam right. Add ice, then shake again until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 10.

We’re back in it.

In this episode, we continue the conversation started in Volume 1, this time diving into “One Nation Under Blackmail: Volume 2” by Whitney Webb.

If Volume 1 taught us anything, it’s this: the system was designed this way. Volume 2 drops us directly into the rise of Jeffrey Epstein. Not just the headline version of Epstein or the crimes we already know. But the infrastructure around him. Epstein didn’t come out of nowhere.

This episode focuses on the machinery: who built him, backed him and what purpose he actually served.

The poison for this episode is the Amaretto Sour.

• 2 oz amaretto (like Disaronno)
• 1 oz fresh lemon juice
• ½ oz simple syrup (optional, depending on how sweet you like it)
• 1 egg white (optional)
• Ice
• Cherry or orange slice if you’re feeling fancy

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 9!

In this episode, we descend into the suburbs of 1970s Houston to examine the case of Dean Corll, a man the world remembers as “The Candy Man,” but whose neighborhood knew as "The Pied Piper".

Behind the friendly persona was one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. Corll groomed and manipulated teenage boys, ultimately recruiting two of them - David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley Jr. - to help lure victims to his apartment. Corll orchestrated what was, at the time, the deadliest serial murder case in American history.

His story is a haunting look at how easily a predator can blend into the fabric of a neighborhood and how a system’s indifference toward "runaway" children can provide a monster with a three-year head start.

This is a case study in grooming, systemic failure, and the ultimate betrayal of innocence. This episode discusses sexual abuse, coercion, and violence against minors. Listener discretion advised.

The poison for this episode is Salted Caramel Old Fashioned.

If you want to drink with me, you’ll need bourbon, salted caramel syrup, and black walnut bitters.

Salted Caramel Old Fashioned:

• 2 oz Bourbon
• ½ oz Salted Caramel Syrup
• 2 dashes Black Walnut Bitters
• Pinch of sea salt

In a mixing glass, stir the bourbon, syrup, and bitters with ice until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Garnish with a thin slice of green apple or a piece of hard caramel candy.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 8 - PART 2!

In Part 2, we move from smoky back rooms to boardrooms with better lighting.

If Part 1 built the foundation - Prohibition money, mob logistics, compromised officials - Part 2 shows what happens when the underworld goes corporate. The old guard dies off, but the infrastructure evolves.

Drawing exclusively from Whitney Webb’s One Nation Under Blackmail (Vol. 1), this episode explores how blackmail, intelligence operations, private banking networks, political fixers, and “respectable” institutions converged in the 1970s–1990s to form something far more durable than a crime ring: a system.

We discuss the evolution of the “favor bank”, how leverage replaced cash as the ultimate currency and how power adapts when exposed. When one front man falls, another steps in. When a bank collapses, the assets migrate. And when chaos looks random, it isn’t.

The thesis remains the same: blackmail isn’t the scandal. It’s the infrastructure.

The poison for this episode is the Hemingway Daiquiri.

Hemingway Daiquiri:

• 2 ounces light rum
• 1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur
• 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
• 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 ounce simple syrup
• Lime wheel, for garnish

Add the rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and grapefruit juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with lime.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 8 - PART 1!

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on One Nation Under Blackmail Vol 1. by Whitney Webb - a meticulously sourced deep dive that reframes power, corruption, and control in America as a long-running business model, not a conspiracy theory.

We'll talk about how intelligence agencies, organized crime, financial institutions, and political elites converged to create a system where corruption isn’t a bug - it’s a feature. Blackmail becomes leverage. Leverage becomes policy. And accountability eventually dies.

This episode is about power consolidation and what happens when the same actors keep showing up in every scandal because they designed the board.

The poison for this episode is the Hemingway Daiquiri.

Hemingway Daiquiri:

• 2 ounces light rum
• 1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur
• 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
• 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 ounce simple syrup
• Lime wheel, for garnish

Add the rum, maraschino liqueur, lime juice and grapefruit juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with lime.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 7!

In this episode, we examine the case of Jane Toppan, a woman often reduced to the label of “killer nurse,” but whose crimes reveal something far more disturbing. Toppan didn’t simply murder her patients - she manipulated them.

Charged with twelve murders and confessing to at least thirty-one, she exploited a system that trusted caregivers implicitly and rarely questioned deaths labeled as “natural.” Her case forces an uncomfortable conversation about access, authority, and how easily harm can hide behind a smile and a uniform.

This is a case study in pathology, power, and what happens when caregiving becomes compulsion.

The poison for this episode is the Black Velvet.

If you want to drink with me, you’ll need champagne and Guinness stout.

Black Velvet:

• ½ champagne
• ½ Guinness stout

Slowly pour the champagne into a chilled flute, then gently top with Guinness by pouring it over the back of a spoon to create the layered effect. No garnish. Let it sit as it is.

Enjoy!

In this Sober Take, we examine the federal sentencing memorandum in Pamela Anne Hemphill, a January 6 case that shows how courts evaluate individual conduct inside a mass event.

*CORRECTION:KEPT CALLING HER PATRICIA IN THE EPISODE*

Hemphill pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a restricted Capitol building, a misdemeanor offense. On its face, the charge appears minor. But the government’s sentencing memorandum argues that her conduct, credibility, and history place the case on the more serious end of the misdemeanor spectrum.

The government ultimately recommended 60 days of incarceration, followed by probation, community service, and restitution, emphasizing deterrence, accountability, and respect for the rule of law.

This episode does not relitigate January 6.

It explains why context matters using the government’s own filing as the guide.
