  • Secret Mall Apartment | They Hid in the Mall for Four Years

    Secret Mall Apartment | They Hid in the Mall for Four Years
    Jan 6 2026
    In the late 1990s, a strange housing experiment unfolded in Rhode Island. It was not advertised or permitted. It existed quietly inside a busy shopping mall. This hidden space, known as the secret mall apartment, was built by artist Michael Townsend. What began as an art protest turned into one of the most unusual living experiments ever documented. To protest the mall, Townsend and friends planned a short experiment. They challenged themselves to remain inside the mall in secret. The goal was to last ten days without detection. During this time, Townsend noticed a structural flaw. Two major mall buildings were never fully connected. Between them sat unused space. That gap sparked the idea for the secret mall apartment.

    Kevin McCallister | How this Kid Saved Christmas
    Dec 23 2025
    The podcast tells the story of Kevin McCallister, a young boy who gets accidentally left behind when his family goes on a Christmas trip to France. While home alone, Kevin has to fend off two burglars called the “Wet Bandits,” who are trying to rob his house. Kevin sets up creative booby traps like heating doorknobs, putting ornaments by windows, and greasing the stairs to stop the bandits. The bandits keep trying to break in despite getting injured by the traps. Eventually, Kevin leads them to his treehouse and cuts the zip line, causing them to fall. His neighbor rescues him, and the police arrest the bandits. Meanwhile, Kevin’s mom is desperately trying to get back home to him. In the end, she arrives home just as Kevin has cleaned up the traps and decorated them for Christmas. Kevin managed to cleverly defend his home and catch the notorious burglars through his resourcefulness.

  • The Matsukawa Derailment | How the CIA Rigged Japan's Democracy

    The Matsukawa Derailment | How the CIA Rigged Japan's Democracy
    Dec 16 2025
    In the early morning hours of August 17, 1949, a passenger train derailed near the town of Matsukawa in northern Japan. At first, the crash appeared to be a tragic accident, but investigators quickly discovered clear signs of sabotage. Bolts had been removed from the tracks, and the rails had been deliberately bent, making derailment unavoidable. That single event became known as the Matsakawa incident, and its impact extended far beyond the crash itself. Over the following years, the case exposed deep flaws in Japan’s justice system and raised serious questions about Cold War influence, labor suppression, and the growing reach of the CIA in postwar Asia.

    Sarma Melngailis | He Told Her He'd Make Her Dog Immortal
    Nov 25 2025
    The story of Sarma Melngailis is one of ambition, success, and a shocking scam that pulled her entire world apart. It begins with a bold dream in New York City and ends with a cross-country chase, unpaid employees, and millions of dollars missing. This tale shows how even the brightest people can be pulled into something they never expected. Before any scam touched her life, Sarma Melngailis built a strong reputation in the food world. She co-founded Pure Food and Wine, one of the first upscale raw vegan restaurants in the country. The restaurant became an instant hot spot. Celebrities filled the dining room, and her brand “One Lucky Duck” boomed. For a while, she seemed unstoppable. That changed when Sarma met a mysterious man named Shane, someone who would later be exposed as a con artist. He told dramatic stories about secret government missions, elite groups, and even strange interdimensional claims. Most shocking, he promised he could make her dog immortal if she proved her loyalty. Those promises opened the door to a devastating scam that would drain her money and control her life.
