Episode #021 - No Wait, This Is the Worst One

Things That Keep Me Up at Night

WARNING: This episode of TTKMEUP features extremely graphic depictions of child murder, mutilation, self harm, pedophilia, rape, and so so many other potentially-triggering topics. A list of time stamps for the especially graphic portions are listed below, but listen with caution and care for your own mental and emotional health.

And here the gals close our first season with the titular "worst one," a trip down the psyche and deeds of the Boogeyman, the Wolf of Wistera, the Brooklyn Vampire, the Grey Man himself, Mister Albert Fish. Once considered a psychological phenomenon for his array of behavioral and sexual dysfunctions, Fish was best known for his murder and cannibalism of the 10 year-old Grace Budd. But how did the man become the monster?

Featuring: a terrible nickname, needles, Henry the paperboy, and so much more.
