| 11/13/25 |  Satanic Panic in Manhattan Beach - the McMartin preschool trial | Today we’re talking about Satan, ritual sacrifice, child abuse, power tripping authority figures, and moral panic. It’s the McMartin Satanic Ritual Abuse case! Ground zero for the satanic panic was right here in our own backyard, the coastal town of Manhattan Beach south of LA.This episode is heavily inspired by the podcast series The Devil You Know by Sarah Marshall, which goes in depth on the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s, and of course, mentions this case.

| 11/8/25 |  A Wild West Tale - How Biddy Mason Became the Wealthiest Woman in L.A. | Today, Judy helps me share the extraordinary tale of an enslaved woman who wins her freedom, the California free Black community who comes together to help her, the white authorities who --- surprisingly --- actually do the right thing when faced with injustice (the bar is on the floor, but these are some of the few white men in history who actually step over it) and how Biddy Mason went from enslavement to becoming the wealthiest woman of color in the West and who used her earnings to improve her community.Most of the information from this incredible tale comes from an LAist article by the wonderful Hadley Meares called “The Contentious Hearing that Made Biddy Mason a Legend” link in the show notes: https://laist.com/news/la-history/biddy-mason-free-forever-the-contentious-hearing-that-made-her-a-legend-los-angeles-black-historyAnd also Hadley’s article for LA.curbed.com “Biddy Mason: One of LA’s First Black Real Estate Moguls: https://la.curbed.com/2017/3/1/14756308/biddy-mason-california-black-history By the way send LAist money because they lost 3.4 million in federal funding recently so we gotta make up the difference.

| 10/16/25 |  Unalive in LA - 175 Years of Los Angeles Coroners | The story of LA’s coroners goes all the way back to 1850 when President Millard Fillmore signed a bill making California the 31st state of the US. In its 175 year history, the department that investigates cause and manner of death has seen countless murders --- many of them high profile, all of them with a story to tell. Today on the show, we explore what LA's Medical Examiner has to teach us about human nature, life and death.CONTENT WARNING: This episode is all about death and the various ways people die.

| 10/9/25 |  Deep Hollywood Lore: the Scams & Shenanigans that Brought Cinema to California | The fact that Hollywood, California ended up being the home of motion pictures in the 20th Century was never a given. In fact, the motion picture industry in the United States came very close to not being possible at all in the early 1900s. So how did the movies come to Hollywood? And what were the circumstances that allowed American films to dominate cinema as an artform?Today on Haunted Hollywood Hour, we’re sharing a twisty, surprising tale about an eccentric man who has been forgotten by history but who, one historian argues, was responsible for the American film industry we know today.Research for this episode comes from the book Col. William N. Selig , the Man Who Invented Hollywood by Andrew A. Erish. https://www.amazon.com/Col-William-Selig-Invented-Hollywood/dp/029275437XFollow Haunted Hollywood Hour on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/hauntedhollywoodhourpodcast/Want to send us a note?

| 3/5/25 |  The Scandalous Pancho Barnes & Her Happy Bottom Riding Club | This week’s story is about defying gender norms in the early 20th century, leading a life of adventure and chaos, and experiencing all the joy and heartache that comes with committing to authenticity. This is a tale of woman who was forced to marry a Reverend when she was just 19, and when she wanted out of the marriage and was refused a divorce, she told her husband she was going to live on her own terms. She became a stunt pilot and test pilot, breaking speed records and winning races. She tested planes that would eventually be flown by Buzz Aldrin (in fact the first plane Buzz Aldrin ever piloted, she was the one who tested it!). She was the first woman stunt pilot in Hollywood. She created a safe community for women. She unionized stunt pilots and doubled their pay. And she did a whole bunch of other things, but one of the most remarkable was that she sued the government and won. This week, Andrea and I are bringing you the story of Professor Thaddeus Lowe’s granddaughter, Florence Leontine Lowe aka Pancho Barnes.Source info from:Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club by Amanda Pope and Nick Spark https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1094299/?ref_=nm_flmg_knf_t_3Pancho: The Biography of Florence Lowe Barnes by Barbara H.
