We have heard that some of you had issues getting the latest episode this week. There might be a simple answer to that. When we transferred over to the new server last year we ended up with, thanks to the joy of the internet, two different feeds. We put the required info into the wrong one so that it wouldn’t keep being used and for the most part it seems to have worked. BUT there are still a few places that didn’t take the move code, we are currently tracking down the ones we know of to fix that but doubt that we’ll be able to get them all.

So, if you aren’t getting the latest episodes in your feed then chances are good that the app you are using is pulling the wrong feed and ignoring our move request. Sadly you will either need to resubscribe using the correct feed or get them to update their system.

Oh, and for the folks using Stitcher we’re fixing them. At least as much as we can.

Here is the correct feed.

Update 11/8/2015:
Quick feed update. If you use Podkicker to get the podcast then great news, they’ve got it updated on their end! It does however mean that you’ll need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the show for it to take effect on your device.

Against the odds

lost cosmonauts

According to lore the Soviet Union launched people into space who never made it back to earth alive. Not wanting to lose face in the space race the existence of these cosmonauts was covered up. Did the Soviet Union really send people into space never to return or is this all a flight of fancy?

Strange disappearances

beaumont children

On January 26th 1966 Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont left their home to go play on the beach. When the children didn’t come home two hours later as expected their mother was unhappy but not overly concerned. When they hadn’t returned home 5 hours later the family called the police. Though there were many witness reports of the children no evidence was ever found to explain what happened to them. Where did they go and, more importantly, who took them?

Amazing coincidences

Smiley Face killer

In 2008, a group of investigators went public with a story they’d been looking into since 1997, involving more than 45 deaths. If true, the theory is that one of the most prolific serial killers ever is currently on the loose, killing athletic college-aged men. But the links between these 45 deaths are thin, at best, and the argument for the Smiley Face Killer might not be as strong as many think.
