From #Hannibal’s “sophisticated” personality to @ZacEfron “charming” as Ted Bundy, we spend some time trying to get to the bottom of the more persistent #SerialKiller fictional personas. It’s a fun time, we promise! @ZOmygahd @adrib_mc @loveandsnuggles #TrueCrime #podcasts
🔊LISTEN NOW! @theobsessionpod #005 "...serial killers?" We (along with special guest, @ZOmygahd) try to unpack our cultural obsession with #SerialKillers both real and fictional. #TrueCrimePodcast #TrueCrime #Podcasts Find us on iTunes and Spotify! open.spotify.com/episode/3sH…

Watching @ReignBotYT's video on Bruno Borges and we may have a #TrueCrime/Obsession/Alien/Dominican Friar crossover event on our hands? Should we Get Weird about it in a special minisode? #TheObessionPod
Why do all the cool ones get burned at the stake 😩. In this clip from #TheObsessionPod Ep #001 @loveandsnuggles gives us a little bit of a history lesson on people’s belief in #aliens. Listen to the full ep on iTunes and Spotify! #podcast #podcaster #PodernFamily #podcasts
Is believing in #aliens enough to be considered a heretic? Asking for a friend. #podcasts #podcasting

Does anyone else have comfort movies they watch on repeat? 😅 In this clip from #TheObsessionPod Ep #001 @adrib_mc and @loveandsnuggles talk about the fact that #IndependenceDay is a great movie (but good enough to watch over 80 times? 🤔) #Podcasters #Podcasts #PodernFamily

#Vampires won! We don’t know why we even thought it would be close 😩. To be fair, we think elves also have a super sweet deal going on.

Did you know that one of our hosts (@loveandsnuggles) got an early copy of the upcoming #PoeDameron YA novel?? #StarWars is about adventure, family, and the choices we make. Check out our review of this complex and thoughtful book! (via @BasicStuffMag) basicstuffmagazine.com/poe-d…

Another bigger site scrubbed our review (with credit to @BasicStuffMag at least!), but you may have seen a quote we had in here floating around along with some clickbait headlines. 😩 #AlwaysSomething

Our latest ep tackles the subject of #SerialKillers. Why are we so obsessed? And why is there the persistent "intelligent and sophisticated" stereotype? We're joined by special guest, writer @ZOmygahd. #TrueCrime #Podcasts #Podcasting #PodernFamily basicstuffmagazine.com/podca…

Replying to @theobsessionpod
While recording this #podcast episode @adrib_mc was dressed like a pirate and @loveandsnuggles had a sword. We think it is important for you to know this.

What do you think our next “obsession” topic should be? Vampires? Werewolves? High School movies? Elves? 🤔 #podcasts #podcasting

When were “the good old days,” was Jesus a zombie, and is post-apocalyptic fiction a form of pastoral literature? Check out this clip from episode #004 as @adrib_mc and @loveandsnuggles try to future out the obsession with the end of the world. #Podcasts #podcast

Our Let’s Get Weird episodes let us get wildly, wonky, and weird about what’s on our minds. Unedited, unpolished, and definitely a little unprepared. NOTE: This episode was recorded end of May.
