Baseball's back for the summer of 2026 and what better way to get in the mood than to take a look at one of the most electrifying sports stories of all time...the 1998 Major League Baseball Home Run Record Chase.
This epic chase to break the hollowed home run record started off with 2 known power houses , Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark McGwire chasing Roger Maris' hollowed record the previous 4 seasons .These previous outings injected excitement back in to the sport after the catastrophic MLB strike of 1994 that cut off Griffey's record pace by 50 games and saw the cancelation of the World Series. Fans tuned out in droves and baseball's favor was at an all time low. Then by June of 1998 a little known Sammy Sosa threw his cap in to the race to make it a 3 man race to 62 HR's by season end. Griffey would cool down ("only" hitting 56 homers ) but Big Mac and Sammy would go neck and neck and surpass the record at 70 and 66 HR's by seasons end in dramatic exciting fashion. Listen today to hear this exciting moment in sports

Walk with us through hell (wrong album for that pun, I know) as we take a look at a Heavy Metal classic that carries as much weight today in 2026 as it did back in 2004 when it was released.
This week we're covering "Ashes of the Wake" by Lamb of God. Released in 2004 as the United States was at war with Iraq and Afghanistan , this album is a perfect time capsule of what was in the political air. In many ways a warning of what may be in 2026.
Musically, one of the best written albums as well. Mixing influences from across thrash, metal core, and groove, this album would become one of the peaks of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.

This week we wrap up our coverage of the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi.
Last week we walked you through the events that lead to her disappearance as well as the aftermath of what happened. This week, we take a look at all of the investigations, their findings, as well as a FEW theories of what many believe happened. This one is nuts and we're probably going to be banned from every Catholic church...but oh well.

This week we throw our true crime hats back on for wild ride to the great boot in the sea, Italy! In 1983 a teenage girl who was a resident of the Vatican (yep, that Vatican) went missing after a mysterious man offered her a job selling Avon products after her flute lessons. This would catch the attention of the Pope and his enemies where her supposed captives would offer her release in exchange for the man who attempted to assassinate the Pope just a few years earlier....and the Pope doesn't negotiate with terrorists...forgives them....but DOES NOT NEGOTIATE WITHT THEM
This is part 2 of a truly crazy story that only gets crazier the further on you get so, STAY TUNED FOR MORE

in August of 1991 the old guard from the Soviet Union attempted a Coupe to over thrown the burgeoning 'democracy' that was to be a westernized version of Russa. This failed due to lack of military support, general public interest , and the sheer energy of the Russian youth To reward these efforts, the country 'gifted' the largest heavy metal concert in recorded history where an audience of 1.6 MILLION (in Dr. Evil voice) fans watched Pantera, The Black Crows, METALLICA, and AC/DC perform. Not only were these career defining performances for Pantera and Metallica, but it also was the bookend to the last days of the Soviet Union.
Yadda yadda yadda and happily ever after....or so you think....stay tuned to learn more
