This minisode focuses on the 1858 Garnett House Hotel, an old building in Garnett, KS, saved from the wrecking ball by Rob Garcia and his investing partner. Mark flies solo for this minisode, talking with Rob about the house, the famous guests that have lived there, the killer who was caught there, and the haunted happenings in the house. It's a piece of history, near Kansas City, that catches some shine in this month's Spooky Spotlight!

Haunted? Haunting?? We find it! Ottawa, KS has a haunted auditorium- where a performance by The Amazing Kreskin ended unearthly, plus we found the spookiest places nearby- including a high school haunted by a ticked-off trumpeter, and a 19th century criminal asylum where your name ends up a number. Lisa Hefner Heitz, author of "Haunted Kansas: Ghost Stores and other Eerie Tales" joins us for a talk about hunting ghost stories, and her own favorite creepy locations in Kansas. The albino woman, a screaming bridge, and more, it's time to bucketlist - or is that, coffinlist- some pinned places, as we shine our "Spooky Spotlight" on Ottawa, in Podenstein's Lab!

What two horror movies involving weddings float to the top of the "Say I do" cinematic swamp? Find out with Mark, John, and Shelby, as they discuss how a wedding gets "REC"'d, and how if you like it you shoulda' put a ring on it, but just make sure "it" ain't dead when you do. Aaaaah June, you are la mois d'amour, or just d'amned, in Podenstein's Lab!

June, the traditional month of weddings. ALSO tradition- marriage battles, haunted hitching venues, and kissing the bride's DEAD hand. All this, and a hilarious interview with Varla Ventura, author of "The Book of the Bizarre: Freaky Facts and Strange Stories" and a bunch of other tomes du weird, about some truly not-your-average nuptuals. If you're freaked out by it you shoulda' put a ring on it, right here in Podenstein's Lab!
