    The Fall of the Tupperware Queen - the mysterious life of Brownie Wise
    Mar 30 2026

    At the height of 1950s America, no woman was more synonymous with success than Brownie Wise, the single mother who turned Tupperware from a failing product into a cultural phenomenon. But when a glamorous company retreat descends into chaos during a violent storm and Brownie mysteriously disappears, her carefully crafted world begins to unravel.

    But how does the face of a household name vanish almost overnight? And what really led to the downfall of the so-called Tupperware Queen?

    One more episode until the end of Season One! Lucky number 16 will bring us to the close of our first season, next week. Let us know what you'd like to hear about next.

    By the Victorian era, vibrant emerald pigments known as Scheele’s Green and Paris Green had taken Europe by storm, coloring everything from dresses and desserts to children’s toys and wallpaper.

    The Louvre Jewel Heist - mysteries at the Louvre, part two
    Mar 9 2026
    We're back with part two of 'Mysteries at the Louvre'! In October 2025, a team of thieves disguised as construction workers broke into the Louvre’s golden Apollo Gallery and stole millions of dollars worth of French Crown Jewels in broad daylight.A priceless crown was dropped on the sidewalk during their escape, and investigators would soon discover that the museum’s surveillance password was literally “Louvre."We explore how the heist unfolded and the eerie parallels to an infamous crown jewel robbery during the French Revolution. Were these criminals masterminds… or just incredibly lucky? And will the jewels ever be recovered?
