| 1/29/26 | ![]() Episode 154: Aimo Koivunen | World War II was full of innumerable horrors, but there are just as many lesser known stories that filled the background of the same war ravaged landscapes. Among these stories is the tale of Aimo Koivunen, a Finnish soldier who took an odd side quest that began with an overdose of military sanctioned drugs. Aimo admittedly wrote that he was an unreliable narrator of the only article to detail his journey, so while his experience is arguably quite gruesome we are choosing to look at the lighter side because 1. He stated himself this was heavily drug hallucinations and 2. He was on the side of the Nazis and fuck them. If you want to read Aimo's full story, here is a link to a Reddit thread where a user translated the original Finnish article to English https://www.reddit.com/r/warstories/comments/dfhwjm/translation_of_the_story_of_aimo_koivunen_a/?share_id=mnAoz7LkJRYVkbYLqpa_I&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1&seeker-session=true | 42m 58s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | ![]() Episode 153: Sharon Lopatka | The internet is a place where people can find answers to any question under the sun, and find online communities to connect with others over a wide array of interests. In the early 90s as more people were finding these connections in this developing technology, the case of Sharon Lopatka ushered in a new era of criminal investigation. Hers is an interesting case not only for the groundwork it laid with electronic evidence, but also the details of her death and the wider discussion of the limits of consent. | 1h 02m 30s | ||||||

Kayla's family is still tirelessly working to get her story out and bring her home.
