Welcome to "Murder on Silk Road," a true crime podcast hosted by childhood friends Julia and Lina, joined occasionally by their friend Angela as a special guest. Every other week, they take turns sharing a captivating case from Asia or Europe, drawing on their cultural backgrounds and experience living on both continents.
With a perfect blend of research and storytelling, the hosts take listeners on a haunting journey (or at least they try to), unraveling the mysteries, motives, and investigations behind some of the most intriguing criminal acts in Eurasia. Between these more intense episodes, they offer a refreshing "in-between" segment, discussing related topics that arise from the cases or providing a much-needed palette cleanser from the darker aspects of true crime. Tune in to "Murder on Silk Road" for an enthralling and thought-provoking exploration of humanity's darkest deeds.
Be sure to check out their instagram where they post pictures associated with each case they cover!

Today's episode is one day late, not because Lina procrastinated with editing but because it was April Fool's day yesterday (very convenient indeed)! Strap in for our very first cult story on the podcast about Shaolong, the young dragon of Taiwan, and his cult of 40 years. Brace yourself for some questionable musical numbers and the more sinister sides of this doomsday cult. TW: sexual assault and suicide.
Story starts at 08:30.
