    158: The Disturbing Truth About Amelia Earhart’s Final Flight: The Mystery That Haunts History
    Jan 29 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    We all know who Amelia Earhart was. You know, she was a really famous pilot, who set a bunch of records and I discovered… disappeared without a trace.

    Officially, no one knows what happened to Amelia, her plane,or the man who was on board with her. But boy oh boy, are there theories. So many theories. And surprisingly… a lot of research and evidence behind them. Some of them even had me reaching for my tin foil hat.

    But I’ll let you guys make up your minds for yourself. So today, we’re going to talk about Amelia Earhart - and what the hell happened to her.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

  • 157: The Painkiller Problem: How Fentanyl Took Over America

    157: The Painkiller Problem: How Fentanyl Took Over America
    Jan 22 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    Last year I had a surgery so that I could breathe again, and it’s been nice, thanks for asking! I love breathing. But when I was in the hospital, the doctors gave me some really strong pain medication.

    I asked what it was, and the doctor told me it was fentanyl. At first I was like..fentanyl??? Doesn't that kill everyone? But after a few seconds hey… this is working really well.

    Turns out, Fentanyl has been used in hospitals for a LONG time. It’s used in epidurals, it’s prescribed for cancer patients, and there was a time when doctors were even putting it in LOLLIPOPS.
    Even though it feels like fentanyl came out of nowhere over the last few years, it has a long and crazy history.

    So how did America, big pharma, and a well meaning scientist create the most powerful and deadly opioid in history? WHERE is this stuff even coming from? And how did the fentanyl epidemic become a problem too big to stop?

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

  • 156: Pranks, Blackmail, and Perverts: America’s Weirdest Presidents

    156: Pranks, Blackmail, and Perverts: America’s Weirdest Presidents
    Jan 15 2025
    Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

    History books put presidents on a pedestal. We think of them as these untouchable heroes. In school we learn about what made them good leaders… What their big achievements were. How they handled war. Disasters. Terrorist attacks.

    But what about the weird stuff they did that no one talks about? I’m talkin’ their quirks and their… un-presidential behaviors. When I looked into this, turns out, there were a lot of them.

    I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Story was ok sounded like another Erin Brocovich

Love hearing Bailey tell the story and enjoyed it so much. The only down side was that it was hard to distinguish story from ads, maybe a little music in between? I listen while enjoying the devils lettuce lol

Sadly we all have suffered from companies like this. Even if we shut them down, we still have it in our blood etc

Thank you Bailey ❣️

Thank you so so so much me and my native brothers and sisters love when our story of our ancestors are told as a native from the tulalip tribes or Washington state we think you for letting our story of the past be told we don’t get as much recognition as we should as the people who owned this land first this made me love you 10x more keep it up

Bailey, you're officially stuck with me. Obsessed!

I've always listened and watched Bailey over on YouTube but now I'm switching over to here (Audible) I am obsessed and to tell you the truth my husband looks forward to listening in, too. I can fully say that we enjoy this podcast not only for the dark history lessons but because we actually find Bailey frickin' hilarious. If you like darkness, story telling, & sarcasm.. Bailey is your girl.
