24. Fools Gold: The Bre-X Gold Fraud Scandal

In 1996, Canadian businessman Adam Walsh was the owner of one of the highest valued junior mining companies in North America, which had several major mining companies bidding for shares and many mutual fund companies and independent investors piling money into stock. Bre-X was sitting on once of the greatest gold discoveries of the century, a deposit in Busang, Indonesia with an estimated 200 million oz of gold (worth roughly 300 billion dollars today) ready to be tapped into.

But when one of the invested mining companies sent their own geologists to perform due diligence at the mining site, they didn’t find any gold. Instead, an investigation was launched into what is now known as the biggest mining and gold scandals of all time and one of the truest examples of fraud in history.

23. Don’t drink the (Flavor)aid: Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre

Jonestown became internationally infamous when, on November 18, 1978, a total of 918 people died at the settlement in a mass poisoning and group suicide at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma; and at a Temple-run building close to Georgetown, Guyana's capital city. The name ofthe settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations. During this massacre, a significant number of people died of cyanide poisoning and were injected against their will. In fact, all but two people died via poisoning withapproximately one third of the victims being children. Jones and some Peoples Temple members’ referred to the act as a "revolutionary suicide". The poisonings in Jonestown followed the murder of five other individuals,including U. S Congressman Leo Ryan with the murder-suicide committed by Four other Temple members inGeorgetown at Jones' command. To this day, the Jonestown massacre is known as the largest group suicide mission to have ever taken place and prior to the terrorist attacks of 911, Jonestown marked the single greatest loss of Americanlives in one day due to a non-natural disaster.

22. H. H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer and his Murder Castle (...?)

H. H. Holmes was an American serial killer and con artist who operated in the early 1890’s and is most well known for luring victims to his “Murder Castle”, a hotel that he built to accommodate guests during the Chicago World’s Fair 1893. A published floor plan of the “Murder Castle” revealed secret torture chambers, trapdoors, gas chambers, and a crematorium in the basement. Though the “Beast of Chicago” only confessed to 27 murders, some reports attribute up to 200 deaths to him between 1886-1894. But how much of what we know about H. H. Holmes was true? Did this so called “Murder Castle” even exist? Today on historically bad we will deep dive into the story of America’s very first serial killer, and how his reign of terror was sensationalized by the media following a shoddy police investigation that left room for speculation by tabloids.

21. Auschwitz Angel of Death: Nazi Doctor Josef Mengele

Josef Mengele is one of the most infamous figures of the Holocaust. Despite being trained as a doctor, Josef spent little time preserving life and instead brought a sadistic cruelty to experiments that ended the lives of many, mainly children. His service at Auschwitz and the medical experiments he conducted there have made him the most widely recognized perpetrator of the crimes committed during the reign of Nazi Germany with his postwar life in hiding represents the international failure to bring Nazi criminals to justice. Mengele has been the subject of numerous popular books, films, and television shows however, many of these portrayals distort the real facts of Mengele’s crimes and take him out of his historical context. Despite the portrayal of him as a mad scientist who conducted sadistic experiments with no scientific basis, the truth about Mengele is even more disturbing earning him the title the "angel of death". Join Carly and Tab this week as they discuss the depraved life of one of the most evil men in history; Josef Mengele.

Content Warning: explicit discussions of human experimentation and casualties, violence, genocide and racism.

19. Hedonistic haven, drugs and disco: The rise and fall of Studio 54

For 33 months Studio 54 was the place for hedonism, drug consumption and every type of sex you can think of, public and all. Over those months, the club became known as a disco hot house that was infamous for its guest list, its exceeding unrealistic and idealistic entry policies (that led to unbelievable attempts on behalf of patrons to enter), and over the top extravagant events with a plethora of available illegal drugs. The club was closely tied to owners Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager who kicked off the era of A-list celebrities like Cher, Mick Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Michael Jackson and even artist Andy Warhol. Join Carly and Tab this week as they unpack the rise and fall of Studio 54; the 70s disco club that became known as an epicenter for pleasure and power which all came to a screeching halt under charges of tax evasion and drug crime.


Content Warning: discussions of sex and drug use.

18. Classroom Criminal: Mary Kay Letourneau

Vili Fualaau is a Samoan American man who was just 8 years old when he met his future wife and the mother of his children. From a young age he was gifted, with a particular talent for art. It was this talent for art that first captured the attention of his second grade teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, in 1991 when he first found himself in her classroom. Mary Kay started giving Vili special attention from this moment on – which from the outside appeared to be a well-intended teacher fostering and mentoring a young student – but later the truth was revealed to be much darker.

Content warnings: discussions of child sexual assault, statutory rape, abuse of a minor, and suicide.

16. Historically Bad (Taylor's Version): The Story of Taylor Swift's Re-Recordings - Part 2

Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records and making historic moves in the music industry. Whether you are a full-send Swifite or don't listen to her music at all - there is no denying that Taylor is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Now more than ever the world is captivated by Taylor Swift as she enters the second year of performing her groundbreaking and breathtaking Eras Tour. There are so many reasons to stan Taylor Swift (and Carly will explain all of them in this episode) - but one of our favourites is her advocacy for artists to own their own work and willingness to use her platform and her power to stand up to toxic masculinity in the music industry and make meaningful change. Join Carly and Tab for Historically Bad (Taylor's Version) as we deep dive into the twisted backstory behind Taylor's history-making decision to re-record her first 6 albums: Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. PART 2.

15. Historically Bad (Taylor's Version): The Story of Taylor Swift's Re-Recordings - Part 1

Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records and making historic moves in the music industry. Whether you are a full-send Swifite or don't listen to her music at all - there is no denying that Taylor is an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. Now more than ever the world is captivated by Taylor Swift as she enters the second year of performing her groundbreaking and breathtaking Eras Tour. There are so many reasons to stan Taylor Swift (and Carly will explain all of them in this episode) - but one of our favourites is her advocacy for artists to own their own work and willingness to use her platform and her power to stand up to toxic masculinity in the music industry and make meaningful change. Join Carly and Tab for Historically Bad (Taylor's Version) as we deep dive into the twisted backstory behind Taylor's history-making decision to re-record her first 6 albums: Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation.

12. The Exploitation of the Dionne Quintuplets

The odds of identical quintuplets like the Dionne sisters being born and surviving into adulthood is only 1 in 57 million. So when the Dionne quintuplets were born in small town Corbeil, Ontario in 1934, they became instant celebrities across the nation with thousands of people offering to help the family and wanting to come visit and see the babies. This initial positive attention quickly darkened as members of the community began making moves to exploit the babies for financial gain, resulting in government intervention and a lifelong devastating impact on these 5 innocent baby girls.

Content warnings: Discussions of pregnancy loss, child exploitation, and sexual abuse of minors.

10. Hotel Cecil and the Disappearance of Elisa Lam

The Cecil Hotel was built in Los Angeles, California in 1926 and opened as a budget-friendly hotel for travellers and affordable housing for long-term tenants. However – there has always been something about the hotel – maybe the location adjacent to “Skid Row”, the transient nature of clientele that it attracted, or more likely – the poor management practices of turning a blind eye to nefarious activities – that resulted in it being a hot spot for crime, including disappearances, suicide, and murder. Join Carly and Tab as we take a journey through the dark and twisted history of Hotel Cecil, including the disappearance of Elisa Lam.


Content warnings: Discussions of suicide, murder, sexual assault, crimes against children, and distressing mental health symptoms.

Join Carly and Tab one of the most mind boggling and absolutely infuriating disappearances of all time – one that was believed to have been solved less than a year after it happened only to be completely uprooted 90 years later due to advances in DNA testing and the badass investigative skills of – you guess it – a woman – who was determined to uncover the truth.

8. Russia's Greatest Love Machine: Grigori Rasputin

Grigori Rasputin, born Grigori Yefimovich Novykh, was later given the name Rasputin (which translates to “debauched one”) because of his sinister and scandalous personal life. He is known as the controversial figure who was accused of religious heresy, sexual assault and was suspected of exerting undue political influence over the emperor of Russia, Tsar Nicholas the II and was rumored to have an affair with the empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov which led to the hit song “Ra Ra Rasputin… lover of the Russian queen”. Join Carly and Tab this week as they unpack the story of the man, the myth, the legend: Grigori Rasputin, a self-proclaimed mystical healer who earned the name the “devil incarnate” by evading many assassination attempts… and even coming back to life.

Content warning: discussions of sexual violence, abuse and drug use.
