E197: Edmund Kemper, The Co Ed Killer

Hi there! This week, we start the show by discussing the deaths of three major celebrities, rethinking prison life, and imagining life as a psycho barbarian. Then, Chris tells us the heartbreaking story of Iron Man from the Black Sabbath song. All the guy wanted to do was warn humanity about the apocalypse. Then the great magnetic field had to go and mess everything up. NOT cool. Enjoy!

E189: Orcas

Evil Men is a podcast hosted by three comedians - Chris Locke, James Hartnett, and Michael Balazo. Each episode, they select a single evil man, bad person, or fictional character and discuss what made them so damn evil - all while joking their heads off. You’ll hear some super interesting nuggets of information about dubious historical or cultural figures, provided by three guys who don’t actually know what the hell they’re talking about.
