      <description><![CDATA[<p>True Crime Tuesday (it's Monday) - let's explore the Texas Killing Fields - an expanse of land near Galveston (which is near the ocean) that has been used for decades to drop bodies. Mostly young women who were vulnerable, the stories are tragic. The murderers are terrifying in their ability to evade police (like getting out on bail and just disappearing to Panama).</p>

      <title>Ep 242: Don&apos;t Stop Believin&apos; - glee</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I feel like glee is one of the most 'you had to be there' shows on TV? It's FULL of 2010s pop songs, remixes, and awkwardly improbable teenager shenanigans. Today we'll talk about the premise of the show (really, just kids forced to be in a glee club) and some of the early deaths of three of glee's main characters. In 2013 Cory Monteith died of a drug overdose, in 2018 Mark Salling died by suic*de after horrible things came to light, and in 2020, Naya Rivera drowned while boating with her son.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's a lot. </p>

      <title>Ep 241: A Ship of Dreams (and Gold) - The SS Central America</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Picture it - it's 1857, and you are on a ship filled with gold from San Francisco to the East Coast of the USA! There are so many things that could go wrong crossing Panama, heading up the Caribbean, pirates, probably?  Then the boat DOES sink along with a crap-ton of gold. Fast forward to the 1980s when Tommy Gregory Thompson (treasure hunter, thief, crazy man) starts to find the gold! </p>

      <title>Ep 228: Pull a comb through your coal black hair - Zoot Suit Riots</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey Pachuco! It's 1943, and we're in Downtown Los Angeles! LA's population has just grown exponentially - partly with people from Mexico brought into the US specifically to address the labor shortage after all the Japanese Americans were taken into internment camps (not good!) - and partly because the US needs every young man to join the war and there are tens of thousands of 18-20 year old servicemen from a deeply segeragated American South in town.</p><p> </p><p>Tensions are high! The fashion among young Mexican men is the Zoot Suit - oversized jackets, big pants, and lots of flair. It makes them easy targets for racially targeted vigilante groups of servicemen to let off some steam. No white men were arrested; about 600 Mexican (and a handful of other non-white people) were arrested. Surprisingly, nobody died! </p>

      <itunes:summary>Today, let&apos;s talk about Operation Meetinghouse - the overnight firebombing of Tokyo on March 9-10, 1945. USAAF General Curtis LeMay orchestrated hundreds of B-29 Superfortress bombers to bring thousands of pounds of incendiary bombs to Tokyo. He knew that he was targeting civilians, but believed this campaign of &quot;terror bombing&quot; would push Japan to surrender. It didn&apos;t. You know it didn&apos;t. 

The firebombing of Tokyo killed over 100,000 people, more people than the Atomic Bombs in their respective cities. Families burned to death in piles, people boiled to death in cisterns and rivers. 

It&apos;s a harrowing, awful story. Taylor cries. War is stupid. </itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Let's talk about the true story behind the movie 'The Terminal' it's not nearly as romantic IRL! Mehran Karimi Nasseri was trying to get to the UK from Iran when some paperwork needed to be filled out in France... and he just, didn't do it. For 18 years. If you're like anyone else in the world, you hate being at the airport overnight - so this is actually a tragedy of mental illness and less of a bureaucratic nightmare.</p><p> </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, we dig into the 80s culture of celebrity charity work! From Live Aid to 'We Are the World', we started a trend where massive movements were spearheaded by celebrities. USA for Africa, the organization responsible for We Are the World & Hands Across America, stands for 'United Support of Artists for Africa' (we wouldn't have guessed that, because it makes no sense).</p><p>What IS Hands Across America, you ask? It's exactly what you sound like, a human chain of people holding hands, for 15 mins, for $10 a person. It did end up raising money to fight hunger in America - it did not cover the entire country. Taylor argues that people in the pictures are standing WAY too close together - you need to be outstretched hand to outstretched hand, and they could have doubled their mileage. </p>

      <title>Ep 202: Ok Place, Totally Wrong Time - Not so Lucky Dragon #5</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Let's talk about the unlucky crew of the Tuna Fishing ship Lucky Dragon #5. Thousands of miles from Japan, the crew was laying lines when the US tested its Castle Bravo nuclear bomb in Bikini Atoll.

      <itunes:subtitle>Join us for the sad tale of Air New Zealand&apos;s flight 901 that crashed in Antarctica in 1979. But first we need a little bit of context and we revisit several Doomed to Fail Episodes:

The Franklin Expedition Ep 58
Volcanoes - between 38 and 71
Antarctica - Ep 158
Mt. Everest - Ep 95

Then we get to the story of the trip, which sounds amazing until it isn&apos;t. </itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the incredible story of the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II!

      <title>Ep 190: Suicidal pilots: Germanwings Flight 9525</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>At this point, maybe if we talk about plane crashes enough, the irony would be TOO intense if we actually died in one! Let's go back 10 years to March 2015, when Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz was absolutely not in the right headspace to fly a plane. We dig into the mental health of pilots, why some of them don't get help, and why those who do are stigmatized. Andreas, for example, was on a new medication, coupled with his history of depression, he took over the cockpit and crashed Germanwings flight 9525 on purpose. It's awful. </p>

      <title>Ep 184: Rejection turned to Destruction - Hitler, Pol Pot, &amp; Stalin</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We've all heard how Adolf Hitler was rejected from art school... today we'll dive into the details, how being a poor non-student in Vienna led him to the back rooms of rebellion - and eventually to the horrors of WWII. Did you know that Pol Pot of Cambodia was similarly rejected by the Paris elite while in college? Also, Stalin was rejected by the Church and kicked out of the seminary. Would history have been the same if these guys had found a more productive outlet in their 20s???</p>

      <itunes:summary>We mentioned Leni in Episode 117 when we discussed the Berlin Olympics in 1936. She is the director who created the &apos;Olympia&apos; film, breaking barriers as a woman and adding invaluable skills to the craft of filmmaking. 

Leni also denied and denied and denied that she was a part of the Nazi Propaganda Machine --- and she got to live to 101!! Today, we&apos;ll talk about how there is literally no way she didn&apos;t know (if you can go over Goebbels&apos;s head right to Hitler, you don&apos;t NOT know what is going on). 

Plus, her over half a century of denial of her responsibility in how her vision of the N*zis helped create a mass alibi for the German people post-war. 

Leni would say &quot;Of what am I guilty??&quot;

When she died (in 2003!!!), Irene Runge, head of Berlin&apos;s Jewish Cultural Center said 
&quot;You have to take responsibility for your past. She didn&apos;t. That is what people will remember about her.&quot;</itunes:summary>

It&apos;s fully the Renaissance now, but don&apos;t tell that to Anabaptist Jan Matthis; he&apos;s planning for the End Times. We&apos;re going to have a city under siege, a Preacher who (surprise, surprise) wants to be a King and marry everyone, and a lot of good old-fashioned torture. 

We recommend the 1993 made-for-German-TV movie with Christoph Waltz - per usual he&apos;s evil AND adorable.

There are two Jans and three Bernards in this story!

Farz will walk us through some examples, from fun things like Taylor having a Prince William poster to very scary things like someone sitting on the Queen's bed while she slept.

There's the plague; there's the 100 Years War, and there's serfdom. An interesting thing that happened after the Black Death killed 50% of the population was that workers were worth more - there were 50% fewer serfs, so they started to be asked to be paid more! That obviously wasn't going to fly with the Lords; you see if they paid their serfs more, then THEY would make less money, they the Lords, you see what I mean? They couldn't possibly.</p><p> </p><p>This will lead to A LOT of heads on sticks, and a storming of London in 1381!</p><p> </p><p>Join us! </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ew. You've heard this story but not the details! Stella was in New Mexico on Feb 27, 1992 when she stopped for a coffee at McDonald's. She then spilled the coffee in her lap -- and OMG the injuries are horrific. She sued McDonald's (as she should have because, again, OMG)</p><p> </p><p>Then we spent the 90s making fun of her because, of course, coffee is hot. We were terribly terribly wrong. This coffee wasn't hot, the McDonald's coffee of the 90s was lava-level dangerous. Google at your own risk. </p>

It&apos;s wildly complicated; we&apos;re glad we don&apos;t work in accounting for a state or large city. 

One thing that stood out is that 800 or so of the firefighters in LA right now are currently incarcerated. We go back to the 13th Amendment, which says that essentially, slavery &amp; indentured servitude can be used as punishment for a crime. This is still the case in California, where just this November, people voted &apos;No&apos; on Prop 6 that would have removed &apos;Slavery&apos; from California. 

Back in LA, and the 800 incarcerated people fighting wildfires. They are paid, although very, very little, and they are part of the California Conservation Camp program. It&apos;s a tough job, and we are so grateful that they are doing it. It&apos;s again back to the budget; where does CA&apos;s 130k per prisoner every year go? How can the system support these firefighters to become actual firefighters after they are released? So many other resources are needed to move forward.

      <title>Ep 141 - Look for The Helpers: Thalidomide Babies</title>

      <title>Ep 133 - Revenge: The PayPal Mafia - Part 3</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In our final PayPal episode, we talk about the delicious ways you can enact revenge on people if you are a billionaire. Whether it's totally shutting down a media company (even if that media company is gross and VERY early 2000s) or short-selling Tesla stock whilst you are looking Musk in the face and asking him to donate to charity. If you are rich, revenge can be piping hot. </p>

After getting through The Great Flood of 1913 and the second worst circus train crash of all time, the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus train was slammed into at 4 am in Hammond, Indiana.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Listen, Farz knew that Taylor was going to yell about this, and she did. Life is hard and if you have the means and opportunity to help people you totally should, it's just really hard to see the 'help' on terms that are wildly unfair. Mother Teresa's legacy involves NOT giving pain medication to sick people, keeping millions of dollars in bank accounts around the world, and truly believing that the more you suffer, the closer you are to God. Which we argue, isn't really helping then is it?</p><p>Again, you can be religious, that's great if it works for you. Just please don't hurt people in the name of your religion. </p>

      <itunes:summary>Ciao ragazzi! Did you ever wonder HOW we got all the ancient texts after all these years? We didn&apos;t think too hard about it until this week when Taylor tells the story of Poggio Bracciolini, the 15th Century Italian Humanist who discovered many ancient texts hiding away in monasteries being copied over and over by monks. Poggio worked for 7 popes as a notary and scribe but would travel around Europe finding gems! Listen to learn more about his discoveries! </itunes:summary>

      <title>Ep 121 - The Olympics Part 4: Richard Jewell &amp; the Atlanta 1996 Bombing</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In our final episode on The Olympics, Taylor tells the story of Olympic Hero Richard Jewell. Jewell was a "law-enforcement" type of guy who, despite being fired from law enforcement, would take any opportunity to tell you that he had 'scanned the perimeter' and 'knew how to diffuse a bomb.'

      <title>Ep 118 - The Olympics Pt 3: Massacre in Munich 1972</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ok. This is horrible. This week we talk the Olympics from 1950 - 1980. Some fun stuff happens, some records are broken. Mark Spitz wins 7 gold medals in swimming, with a mustache! We really feel like that might have slowed him down.</p><p>But, the big horrible story is the Massacre at Connollystraße 31 on September 5, 1972.

      <title>Ep 104 - Big Trouble in Little Skidmore, Missouri</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today we revisit the small town from Episode 19 - Skidmore, Missouri. Why does Skidmore have a disproportionately high number of violent crimes? We know that town bully Ken McElroy was killed by a mob and no one was ever charged. We also know that a young man, Branson Kayne Perry, walked out his front door and never came back in 2001 - AND we know his cousin poor Bobbie Jo Stinnett was murdered by an exceptionally horrible Lisa Marie Montgomery. For a very small town very bad things happen in Skidmore. </p>

      <title>Ep 99 - Dying in the Deep: The Blue Hole</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Farz just wants everyone to have a panic attack - today, he talks about one of the places on Earth where people keep diving and dying. We travel to Egypt at the edge of the Red Sea to The Blue Hole - where divers challenge themselves to swim under an underwater arch - unfortunately, it's a lot harder than it sounds, and some don't make it back. He tells the doomed story of Yuri Lipski who brought a camera with him and we can watch as he gets lost under the sea. It's very scary. </p>

We travel to Egypt at the edge of the Red Sea to The Blue Hole - where divers challenge themselves to swim under an underwater arch - unfortunately, it&apos;s a lot harder than it sounds, and some don&apos;t make it back. He tells the doomed story of Yuri Lipski who brought a camera with him and we can watch as he gets lost under the sea. It&apos;s very scary. </itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, we are closing out Women's History Month with the story of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta died of cervical cancer in 1951 - but her cells have lived on. They divide and duplicate at such a rate that if you could gather all the HeLa cells in one spot they could weigh 50 tons. They have been used in creating vaccines, researching cancer, and mapping the human genome.

      <title>Ep 96 - Doomed to Sink: The Olympic Class Ships of The White Star Line</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Even though Farz DID watch Titanic this weekend, he focuses this week on the two other totally doomed ships that were built simultaneously. White Star's Olympic and Britannic - part of the "Olympic Class' of ships, these monsters were supposed to revolutionize travel and make White Star a ton of money. They did neither. A war full of U-boats, rising prices, cutting corners, and things being in the way of a giant ship led to disaster again and again. </p>

      <title>Ep 93 - Disaster at Shift&apos;s End: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is THE Women's History Month story that Taylor has been wanting to tell you!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Fingers crossed, Farz survives the year with the stories he's telling us!

You know us, and you know we love Russian history - so we're on our way to try to understand the why behind what Russia is currently doing. </p>

Today Farz tells the story of journalist Stephen Glass who made up a fantastic tale of hackers, data breaches, and early internet scare tactics!

      <title>Ep 12 - Part 1: We miss Phil Hartman - here&apos;s what happened to him</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello! Happy Holidays! This week, we're casually releasing re-releases at random times! Join us for Episode 12, part 1 - where Farz tells the tragic story of Phil Hartman - who was murdered by his jealous wife (and she was jealous because she wanted to be famous and she wasn't).

It was either OJ's spectacular Football career, his acting, rumors of domestic violence, and the most famous murder in America.

      <title>Ep 67 - Epic Ambitions: The Story of Napoleon Bonaparte</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>C'est l'heure! It is time! Napoleon, the world-changing film comes out this week, and we are here to get you prepped! Join Taylor as we go through the basics, like, Napolean was not from France, he was from Corsica (which was taken over by France the year he was born, but still). He was also anywhere from 5'2 - 5'7 when the average French dude was 5'4 -- but like, at the same time George Washington was 6'2...

      <itunes:subtitle>We kick this week off with Taylor telling the stories of 5 of our most notorious Vice Presidents, Aaron Burr, Millard Fillmore, William Rufus King, Henry Wallace, and Spiro T. Agnew. Of the 49 people who have been VP some are nearly lost to history, while others are forever remembered for one or two special things (looking at you, Mr. Burr - could you IMAGINE if he could see a production of Hamilton!) Reverse shout out to Taylor&apos;s horrible US History teacher! 

Who is your fav VP? Let us know! doomedtofailpod@gmail.com

      <itunes:summary>Join us on a trip to a time before Alex Murdaugh was convicted of killing his wife and son - when we were just talking about his arrest and the horrible things he was accused of doing. We dig into this truly Southern Gothic tale - we imagine cicadas in the air, the humidity is hazy, and everyone is pretending to be nice but probably wants to murder you. Dramatically. 

Today&apos;s re-release is the Murdaugh Family Murders.

      <title>Ep 4 - Part 2: A World of Love to You - Eleanor Roosevelt &amp; Lorena Hickok</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today we re-visit Taylor's favorite love story. The doomed romantic relationship of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and the "#1 Girl Reporter in the Country" assigned to her, Lorena Hickok. Eleanor Roosevelt and FDR were a complicated couple who were perfect for each other in many ways. But, after five children, Eleanor discovered FDR's affair with a secretary - she offered divorce but ended up staying. Soon after, FDR was struck with polio, and ER hit the road, keeping his name in the press and reporting back to him all she knew about New York and beyond. Eleanor became the strong independent woman that we associate with her today - and she shared a lot of her life with her friend and partner, Lorena Hickok.</p><p>This is Taylor's favorite story!

      <itunes:summary>Today we re-visit Taylor&apos;s favorite love story. The doomed romantic relationship of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and the &quot;#1 Girl Reporter in the Country&quot; assigned to her, Lorena Hickok. Eleanor Roosevelt and FDR were a complicated couple who were perfect for each other in many ways. But, after five children, Eleanor discovered FDR&apos;s affair with a secretary - she offered divorce but ended up staying. Soon after, FDR was struck with polio, and ER hit the road, keeping his name in the press and reporting back to him all she knew about New York and beyond. Eleanor became the strong independent woman that we associate with her today - and she shared a lot of her life with her friend and partner, Lorena Hickok. 

This is Taylor&apos;s favorite story! Hope you enjoy.

      <title>Ep 54: Vanishing Voyages: The Haunting Mysteries of the Mary Celeste &amp; MV Joyita</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It's October, and we loooove Ghost Ships!! We're covering the most famous mystery of the high seas - the Mary Celeste. In 1872, the 100ft Brigantine (which means it was double-masted) was found floating in the open seas, the cargo was still there, and the ship wasn't sinking, but nobody was on board. The 10 people (including a 2-year-old) that had left NY for Genoa, Italy were never seen again. The story has haunted us ever since!</p><p>We also talk the MV Joyita, which was found listed to the port side (that means leaning left) in 1955 - bloody bandages were on the deck & all 25 people on board were never seen again!</p><p>Finally, we just talked about the 2002 movie 'Ghost Ship' and how much we love it. We also discuss the potential hotness of Gabriel Byrne.</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/  </p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod  </p><p>Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod </p><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@doomed.to.fail.pod </p><p>Email: doomedtofailpod@gmail.com </p><p>Pics via the Creative Commons & Midjourney & Imdb</p><p>Some sources:</p><p><a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/abandoned-ship-the-mary-celeste-174488104/">Abandoned Ship: The Mary Celeste | History| Smithsonian Magazine</a></p><p><a href="https://pca.st/m172ccvj">Unresolved Podcast - MV Joyita</a></p><p><a href="https://pca.st/28htui05">Professor Buzzkill - The Marie Celesete</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Habakuk_Jephson%27s_Statement">J.

Krakatoa was the first global disaster where the globe knew what was happening - erupting in 1883, telegraphs and undersea cables brought the news to the entire planet faster than previously imagined possible.

No, but this does! -- We also learn that we didn't know about Tectonic Plates until 1965!!!!

      <itunes:summary>Back to basics with the doomed relationship of Marie Antoinette and King Louis the XVI of France! Our dear Marie was just a child when she was shipped to France to marry the future king. It takes a long time for her to have a baby, so she has an excellent time in the meantime. There are many diamonds, chateaus, literal big-wigs, gambling, operas, and even a pretend French village. All on the grounds of Versailles. 

Until, of course, she is executed for crimes against the nation.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Volcanoes part 2! – This is the story that you’ve all heard - in 79AD Mt. Vesuvius destroyed the Roman resort towns of Pompei & Herculaneum.

      <title>Ep 37: Betrayal Behind the Badge: Unmasking the Dark Secrets of Robert Hanssen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We start this week off with a devious tale of a post-cold-war spy, Robert Hanssen the American FBI Agent who sold secrets to Russia for, not that much money -- honestly how hard is it to be a spy? It sound like Robert walked around with his “I love the KBG” t-shirt and nobody noticed for 20 years! Turns out other spies, like, Aldrich Ames, were sharing the same info with Russia. Trust no one!

      <itunes:summary>Next up! We are in Manhattan for the ‘only in NY’ story of the murder of Stanford White by jealous husband Henry K. Thaw. Stanford White was a super successful architect and also absolutely a sexual predator. When the former object of his desire, Gibson Girl Evelyn Nesbit, marries a narcissistic billionaire White’s days are numbered. 

This is also the story of the several Madison Square Gardens, the very American thing of tearing down our buildings to match tastes, and the beginning of the National Register of Historic Places.

      <title>Ep 30: I&apos;M JACK RUBY YOU KNOW ME! - The story of Jack Ruby - Lee Harvey Oswald&apos;s killer</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Next up! Taylor talks about the assassin of the assassin - Jack Ruby!

      <title>Ep 27: Cruising through History: The Rise and Fall of the Edsel</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week we’re trying something NEW! Instead of one super long episode, we are giving you TWO episodes - one released Monday and the other released on Wednesday! Let us know what you think!</p><p>We start off with Taylor telling the story of The Ford Edsel and all the terrific marketing and business mistakes that were made for this staggering loss for Ford. </p><p>Firstly though, a plea to stop quoting Henry Ford for business things - we discuss that there is no ‘Great Man’ and nobody is perfect. However, we feel super comfortable drawing our first line at ‘if Hitler had a portrait of you hanging in his office and called you his ‘inspiration,’ we can do better’ (all that’s true). </p><p>Here’s an inspirational quote for you >> “I got my start by giving myself a start.” - Madame C. J.

      <itunes:summary>This week we’re trying something NEW! Instead of one super long episode, we are giving you TWO episodes - one released Monday and the other released on Wednesday! Let us know what you think!

We start off with Taylor telling the story of The Ford Edsel and all the terrific marketing and business mistakes that were made for this staggering loss for Ford. 

Firstly though, a plea to stop quoting Henry Ford for business things - we discuss that there is no ‘Great Man’ and nobody is perfect. However, we feel super comfortable drawing our first line at ‘if Hitler had a portrait of you hanging in his office and called you his ‘inspiration,’ we can do better’ (all that’s true).

      <title>Ep 26: Brushstrokes of Tragedy: The Byford Dolphin, Kursk Submarine, and Vincent Van Gogh</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week Farz tells two tales of the ultimate red flaggy relationship – humans & hubris. Hint - it’s been in the news! Farz covers two stories of man’s lust for dominance of the deep sea that end in disaster. First, the Byford Dolphin Accident, which contains 0 dolphins, and many gruesome deaths. Then, the Kursk submarine incident, where Russia’s inability to get along with anyone, caused things to go from bad to worse. </p><p>Then, you’d think this would lighten the mood - but it really doesn’t - Taylor takes us on a journey through the colorful, manic, and ultimately tragic life of Vincent Van Gogh. Who was the most famous painter of all time? Chances are you have something Vincent painted in your house right now. We all know that he wasn’t successful in life and that he cut off his ear.

      <title>Ep 24: Axe-executioners and Moor-ders: Lizzie Borden and The Moors Murders</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week Farz goes back across the pond to tell the story of the murderous pairing of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. These two attacked and killed children across Manchester and buried them in the moors (which is British for super big field).

A Neo-Nazi found his match in a girl who would do anything for him, takes one to know one.  This is the story of the Moors Murders. 

Then, Taylor tells the truly American tale of Lizzie Borden and her axe (maybe!?! We don’t know that she did it for sure and we will never know!). On a Tuesday morning on a busy street Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered with an axe before noon! Could it have been their daughter?

Everybody together!

Lizzie Borden took an axe
and gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
she gave her father forty-one.

      <title>Ep 22: Czech on the Kids:  Gypsy Rose and Jan Zizka</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week Farz covers the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard by her daughter’s boyfriend. The twist is that Dee Dee had been keeping her daughter, Gypsy Rose, in a state of medical distress for no reason. She pretended Gypsy had Muscular Dystrophy, Cancer, and more. Plus, she told her that she was  younger than she was?? All for attention & free trips to Disney. It’s Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy to the extreme. </p><p>Taylor brings us back to the 1400s to talk about the Czech warrior and hero - Jan Žižka. In a time of Popes, Anti-Popes, and reformations - Jan never lost a battle. He was a one-eyed warrior (until he was a zero-eyed warrior) who brought new tactics to the battlefield that had never been seen before. Taylor is pushing the limit of the podcast by saying this is a relationship between the Catholic church and a people who just wanted to worship without being exploited.

The twist is that Dee Dee had been keeping her daughter, Gypsy Rose, in a state of medical distress for no reason. She pretended Gypsy had Muscular Dystrophy, Cancer, and more. Plus, she told her that she was  younger than she was?? All for attention &amp; free trips to Disney. It’s Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy to the extreme. 

Taylor brings us back to the 1400s to talk about the Czech warrior and hero - Jan Žižka. In a time of Popes, Anti-Popes, and reformations - Jan never lost a battle. He was a one-eyed warrior (until he was a zero-eyed warrior) who brought new tactics to the battlefield that had never been seen before. Taylor is pushing the limit of the podcast by saying this is a relationship between the Catholic church and a people who just wanted to worship without being exploited. Good thing nothing has changed!

      <title>Ep 21: Germaine to a Lobster: The Hinterkaifeck Murders and Grady Stiles</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Join us this week for the haunting story of the 1922 murders at the Hinterkaifeck Farm. The family heard noises & saw mysterious footprints leading up to their murders. Whoever killed them made themselves at home for a few days, cooking meals, feeding the animals, and taking their time to get out of dodge. This remains Germany’s most famous unsolved murder 101 years later. </p><p>We also go over the rollercoaster life of Grady Stiles, the “Lobster Boy” born into a world of Side Shows just as they were petering out of public acceptance. A violent alcoholic who murdered – and also was murdered. It’s a wild ride through the history of the ‘Freak Show’ to the family that is still alive today (and it’s Farz who takes us on this journey!) </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/">https://www.instagram.com/doomedtofailpod/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod">https://www.facebook.com/doomedtofailpod</a></p><p>Youtube - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod">https://www.youtube.com/@doomedtofailpod</a></p><p>Photos via public domain </p><p>Hinterkaifeck farm via Goodreads</p><p>Grady Stiles via Facebook & Historic Mysteries </p><p>Some Sources </p><p>So for this episode I went to wikipedia of course, hinterkaifeck.net, an episode of Lore, and the podcast The Midnight Train oh and also I read the book The Man from the train - which will come in later. </p><p><a href="https://curiouscaseof.com/the-hinterkaifeck-murders/">https://curiouscaseof.com/the-hinterkaifeck-murders/</a></p>

      <title>Ep 18: Bernie Tiede &amp; The Warrens: Demon Hunters?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week Farz gets into the murder of Marjorie Nugent, she seemed awful, but did Bernie Tiede need to kill her? Most people were kind of ok with it. This confusing and possibly more tragic than adorable story,  is portrayed in the 2011 movie Bernie by Richard Linklater, who got way too involved in the real case. </p><p>Then, buckle up because Taylor 50/50 summoned a demon researching Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Taylor brings it way back to the year 532 when the Green and Blue chariot teams got into such a brawl that 30,000 people died. There’s other stuff like Emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora - so it is relationship related!
