A Very Scary Christmas with Gruesome Gossip
Gruesome Gossip
Welcome to a very scary Christmas with the Gruesome Gossip gals! We're sure by now everyone has probably heard of Krampus, he's been having kind of a moment for the last couple of years, and good for him! But we bet most of you haven't heard as much about his female counterpart, the decidedly more fun Frau Perchta (aka The Belly Slitter)!! In this year's Christmas episode, you'll hear all about her, the hobby horse from hell (aka Mari Lywd), and of course Florida Man. So chug some holiday cheer and get ready because this is one bumpy sleigh ride! We believe in giving credit where...

2.4 | The Legend of The Pope Lick Monster
Gruesome Gossip
So most of you that have been listening for a while know Marty is from Taylorsville KY...But something I feel like most people may not know about Kentucky is that it has an abundance of urban legends and haunted places. So, while you may have heard of Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, KY (which is said to be one of the most haunted places in the US) or Bobby Mackey's Music Hall in Wilder, KY (that is said to have a portal to hell in the basement), we bet you haven’t heard about one of Marti’s personal favorite bits of Kentucky folklore and that is the legend of the Pope Lick Monster,...

2.3 | HOLE-LEE-CRAP
Gruesome Gossip
This week the ghouls dive deep, 15 miles deep in fact, into Mel’s Hole! 10% craziness, 10% conspiracy theory, 75% urban legend, and 5% reason for Marti to make dirty puns. Mel’s hole is one of the craziest stories we’ve covered yet! So, buckle in cause this is sure to be a Hole-In-One! Seriously it’s the "hole" Kit and Caboodle … Hehe Hole! Britany would like to personally apologize for the pun-filled description of this episode (that was very obviously written by Marti) and for just the entire episode in general. But, if she had to sit through all those puns ... you do too. :)...

2.2 | Decapitated Heads and Blood-Soaked Scarves
Gruesome Gossip
I (Britany) figured you might need a palate cleanser after last’s week episode (see what I did there??), so I’m bringing you a short and not-so-sweet episode this week. In this episode, I’m bringing back on our On This Day segment from season one and talking about the last execution via guillotine in France; which was shockingly not all that long ago. I also share the gruesome story about the last public guillotine execution in France that was so fucked up, the government decided the public would no longer be allowed to attend executions. We believe in giving credit where credit...

2.1 | Joe Metheny: The Original Hash-Slinging Slasher
Gruesome Gossip
We’re baaaaack! Welcome to the premiere episode of season two! Ever seen a roadside stand selling delicious BBQ sandwiches? Tempting right? Well not after hearing the story of Joe Metheny. That’s right, the ghouls are back and this season the tea is STRONG! No topic is brewed too dark and we’re ready to prove it by kicking off season 2 with one of our most upsetting episodes yet. So get ready to spill all the tea with Gruesome Gossip because this time we aren’t fucking around! Special Note: My (Britany) audio settings were a little off thanks to not recording for a few months so you...
info_outlineSpecial Note: We discussed not releasing an episode this week due to the domestic terrorist attack in Washington D.C. this week, but ultimately decided we're not going to let those assholes silence us in any way. We also know that it's a traumatic time for a lot of people and humor can be a great coping mechanism. So, we hope this episode brings you comfort in the form of laughter and peace in form of looking away from the current dumpster fire for twenty-one minutes.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I (Marti), have been enjoying some extra holiday treats here and there. It’s that time of year after all and it got me thinking of a story I once heard about a man that ate so much he became legendary for it! So, in honor of my extra holiday pounds, I’m going to be talking about Tarrare, the most gluttonous man to ever live in this week’s episode!
