92: The Bloody Benders & the 1873 Zodiac Back
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the story of the Bloody Benders! They were a spiritualist family who ran a general store and inn for weary travelers along the Great Osage Trail in rural Kansas. Oh yeah, and they were serial killers. When people started disappearing, the Benders were suspected, but NO ONE expected what was found in and around their house of horrors. Next, in the 1873 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo outlines what the outer planets were up to and how Mercury Retrograde (and Venus & Mars Retro) may have felt. We get acquainted with Comet Tempel 1, and lastly - Herschel Happenings! - we see what Herschel the Younger (William Herschel’s grandson) was working on. Always be cataloging!

91: 1873 Timeline Twist & The Fiery Chronicles of Alexandra Palace
On today’s episode, Valerie outlines some major events from 1873 in the Timeline Twist, including; beer, a new pair of jeans (ooh-la-la), Greek JLo, the introduction of a new garden party game for those who are “skilled at playing at ball”, a song about ham, “Home of the Range”, and new rules for dog shows. Next, Amy Jo tells the story of the “People’s Palace”, or “Ally Pally”, which opened this year and had EVERYTHING - art, dog, flower, and horse shows, athletics, archery, and pigeon races, an inaudible concert, and fireworks. Not to mention a habit of catching on fire. But firefighting in the Victorian Era was tricky, especially with a palace on a hill.

90: The Brides in the Bath Murders & the 1915 Zodiac Back
On today’s episode, Valerie tells the tragic tale of three “blushing brides” found dead in their bathtub shortly after marriage. The investigator, spurred on by family members, witnesses, neighboring police, and the newspapers, uncovered puzzling details that led him to call on an OG forensic pathology legend who inspired an experiment that nearly resulted in a fourth death. Next, in the 1915 Zodiac Back, Amy Jo talks about Pluto in Cancer, Neptune in Leo, and how the Saturn-Pluto cycle can represent the redistribution of power and the conjunction of the two is giving “before and after” vibes. We talk non-total 1915 eclipses (RIP Bonnie Tyler), and we meet Comet Mellish. You changed bro!

89: 1915 Timeline Twist & The Execution of Joe Hill
On today’s episode, Valerie presents World War I in a nutshell (no big deal), the birth of the classic jumping snake prank, the most racist American movie ever made, a new kind of “gleaming glass” baking dish, and the popular dog treat that you never knew was invented by an MIT trained organic chemist in the 1915 Timeline Twist. Next, Amy Jo shares the captivating story of Swedish activist Joe Hill, gifted song writer, and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW aka. Wobblies). He was treated for a gunshot wound and then accused of murdering an ex-cop grocery store owner and his son. Police immediately shot him in the hand, tried him, then executed him, solidifying his legacy as a champion for worker’s rights. But was he guilty?

87: 1834 Timeline Twist & The Mysterious Death of a Famous Botanist
On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features a number of awful major events from 1834, a smattering of inventions, the burning of the Palace of Westminster in art, a discriminatory popular ballad (Boo!), a surprising medicinal condiment, and a strongly worded letter by none other than Davy Crockett. Next, Amy Jo shares the story of the mysterious unsolved death of a famous Scottish-born botanist whose passion for horticulture put him in danger in a number of ways (Um, sir, your eye is bleeding!). His obsessive search for new plant species led him to the beautiful islands of Hawaii in 1834, but his expedition ended suddenly in the bottom of a bullock pit.For content sources visit our website: youaintawoofinpod.comFollow and SupportInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youaintawoofinpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YouAintaWoofin/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youaintawoofinpod.bsky.social Patreon: http://patreon.com/user?u=106344174
