This week, the gals head east to check out some gory stories from the Motherland. Cases include a spritely set of Ukrainian maniacs, a killer addicted to both sex and socks, and a seriously sick teacher with a thing for his students. This episode is paired with Winc's Salient Cabernet Sauvignon, so get out your Slovak translation guide, buckle the f**k up, and tune in for Eastern European Serial Killers.

This week, the gals bone up on their forensic skills. Topics include a super-cold case with multiple murderers, the intersection of science and racism, and a couple of lucky bunions. Pick up a bottle of Winc's Forma de Vida Verdejo, maybe pour a glass of milk to go along with it, and tune in for Forensic Anthropology.

Dump an entire bottle of Inocencio Pinot Noir into your glass, call a lawyer, and tune in for Coerced Confessions.

This week, the gals chat with Alie muthaf*ckin Ward of the Ologies podcast about some notorious know-it-alls. Topics include a slippery sommelier, a doc with dangerous motives, and an obit that's also a confession and kind of a manifesto. Mix up a dose of Snake Oil Spritzer (that is white wine with kombucha over ice to honor our LA-based guest), make sure you're up to date on your vaccinations, and tune in for Beyond Stupid: Fake Experts.

This week, the gals take a good, hard look at the men in their lives. Topics include the ways in which a good partner turns bad, a pair on a puppy-love killing spree, and some sick sisterly bonding. Grab a glass of Some Young Punks' Passion Has Red Lips Cabernet Shiraz, reexamine your current relationship, and tune in for Killer Couples.

This week, the gals put on their ermine robes and mink mantles to chat about some dastardly kings and queens. Topics include musical underwear, a tale of two cousins with an unnecessary number of spies, and a slightly more violent Romeo and Juliet saga. This episode is paired with Chronic Cellars 2016 Sofa King Bueno Red Blend, so pour some into your goblet (or your father-in-law's skull), assemble the court, and tune in for Royal Kerfuffles. 

This week, the gals forecast crimes occurring during major weather events. Special guest Dr. Elizabeth Austin joins to talk about investigating weather-related evidence.

Pour a glass of Winc's Restless Earth Grenache, resign yourself to never flying again, watch Weather Channel's "Storm of Suspicion," & tune in for Forensic Meteorology. 

This week, the gals investigate mysterious clues leading to kidnapped persons. Cases include some greedy-ass Spaniards, a Minnesotan crime worthy of the Cohen brothers, and a woman who blurred the line between lover and accomplice. Pop open a bottle of Winc's The Bluffer Valdiguié, dig out your old newspapers and some glue, and tune in for Ransom Crimes.

This week, the gals seek personal stories of murder from the annals of public online forums. Topics include Mr. List's origin story, a grizzled Santa with a super shady internet history, and a multitalented babysitter who answered the wrong ad.
