Bringing everyone together via inbox was another traditionally grim delight from Some Lawyer. Always on the hunt for the finer details, How to get into Harvard chronicles the search for a skull. Follow your dear writer through obituaries and catalogs of anatomical collections to find the final resting place of Mary Tynan’s bones.
Landing for paid subscribers was another journey through Kennedy’s mind, this time, taking us to The Third Place. Explaining a lost social relic, we delve into the importance of being in places that are not home and not work, and what happens to us and our muscles for humanity when we don’t occupy those spaces. To unlock early, upgrade to the paid tier. It costs less than a cup of coffee.

The paranormal comes to life as husband-wife duo Dan and Lynze share terrifying tales. Dan’s goal? To scare Lynze with creepy accounts of demonic possession, shadow people, and other eerie phenomena. And when he’s done, Lynze fights back with listener-submitted tales of true horror. Together, they explore the darkest corners of the web, dusty old books, and even their own eerie surroundings.
We’ll see you here again next week. Cause that’s what we do. Ol’ reliable.
Now, go get some rest.
Love,
Your Bullshit Hunting Crew
