About this episode

The episode features occult researcher William H. Kennedy discussing the intersection of occult practices and crime.

It’s Wayback Wednesday with another episode drawn from our archive of programs going back to 2009. This week, we feature occult researcher William H. Kennedy, who passed away in 2013 at the age of only 49. Originally released September 27, 2009 A WEEK doesn’t go by without a new lurid crime playing around the clock on the 24-hour cable news channels. So many of them involve children, like the Phillip Garrido alleged kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard, or Melissa Huckaby, who allegedly raped and killed 8-year-old Sandra Cantu. William H. Kennedy has been researching occult and satanic crime since his days as at San Francisco State University, and he joined us to try to help us make sense of an insane world.
