  • 106 - Soggy Pieces of Butt Lettuce
    Oct 21 2026

    Warning: explicit-ish content ahead that contains themes of child sexual abuse and exploitation

    Welcome to our first true crime episode! It's spooky season still and we're continuing on a trend of dark stories but this one takes a particularly twisted turn with some true crime involving North Fox Island off the Leelanau Peninsula and part of the Beaver Island Archipelago. We're talking about the slime bag that was Francis "Frank" Duffield Shelden and the Brother Paul's Children's Mission - "one of the most disturbing child exploitation cases in Michigan history." If this isn't your cup of tea, we totally get it and will see you in the next episode. If you stick around, consider yourself trigger warned and not alone if you're feeling some big feelings. We are too.

  • 105 - "Sea Serpent, Ahoy!"
    Oct 9 2026

    It's a solo Captain Michelle episode today and to quote the great Geo Rutherford, um, yes hello, it's spooky lake month! Welcome to October and with it comes all of the spookies, the ponderings, the alleged-ness of the Lakes (not that we don't do that normally), but we're spreading it on extra thick this month and today we're bringing you the Lake Michigan Sea Serpent. Friend or foe? Relation to South Bay Bessie? Was/is this something you should be concerned about or is the Lake Ness monster just a passing fad chalked up to an escape seal... or sea lion... or.... octopus? Who's making these guesses??

  • 104 - The Sixth Great Lake
    Sep 25 2026

    This week's episode is a bit rough as Andrew and Michelle cover potentially the worst wreck in Georgian Bay and perhaps Lake Huron itself - the SS Asia. The kicker? Sources then and sources today still can't agree on all of the facts about this wreck that has eluded shipwreck hunters for 144 years. And hey, if you don't like dark stories, we get it and we'll catch you next time! <3
