Weeks before Roswell made headlines in 1947, Tacoma was already grappling with reports of flying saucers, mysterious Men in Black, and a federal investigation that raised more questions than answers.This special History Pub presentation features storytelling from Shea Drury and Jody Shaw, historical context from Chris Staudinger of Pretty Gritty Tours, and an in-depth look at the case from filmmaker Steve Edmiston, creator of The Maury Island Incident and founder of the Men in Black Birthday Bash.Join us for a meet and greet from 4:30–6pm before doors open at 6pm, with the show starting at 7.Patreon supporters—or anyone who signs up before the event—can stop by for a free thank-you gift (including some very adorable dog bandanas), and we’ll also have tote bags and t-shirts available.Find the show link at https://rainydayrabbitholes.com, and get your Men in Black Birthday Bash tickets at https://mibbbfest.squarespace.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-unhinged-rainy-day-rabbit-holes/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | 2m 04s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | ![]() The Deadly Glow: America’s Radium Craze | In the early 20th century, radium was hailed as a miracle of modern science. It promised health, beauty, and vitality, and it was sold everywhere, from glowing clocks and cosmetics to drinking water and patent medicines. In this episode, Shea is joined by the creator of Radiant Radium, a collector and historian of radioactive antiques, to explore America’s radium craze and the everyday products that once made radiation a selling point. Together, they trace how radium escaped the laboratory, the tragedies that followed, and why belief in radioactive health cures still persists today.

| 5/15/26 | ![]() Glowing From The Inside: Radium Beauty-5 Minute Friday | In the early 1900s, radium wasn’t feared—it was fashionable. Beauty products claiming to contain actual radium promised glowing skin and better health, all in the name of modern science. This short episode explores the strange beginnings of the Radium Craze and sets the stage for a deeper dive next week into the radioactive household products that once seemed perfectly normal.

| 3/4/26 | ![]() The Colorado Cannibal Part 1: Hunger in the High Country | Five men entered Colorado’s high country chasing gold. One man came back alone. In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we descend into a chilling true story from the 1870s American West—where hunger, greed, and deception collide in the mountains. What begins as a tale of survival quickly unravels into something far darker as bodies are discovered, stories shift, and evidence refuses to stay buried. This is Part One of the infamous Colorado Cannibal story: a case that inspired films, legends, and a name etched into the landscape itself. Supplies that shouldn’t exist. Money that shouldn’t be spent. And a guide whose explanations never quite add up. The gore fades. The mystery deepens. And the truth waits just out of sight.

| 2/25/26 | ![]() 1904 Olympic Marathon | The 1904 Olympic Marathon wasn’t just a race—it was a full-scale experiment in bad ideas. Run in brutal heat on dusty roads, with little water, questionable “medical” advice, and athletes who were very much left to fend for themselves, this event quickly spiraled into chaos. In this episode, Jody breaks down one of the strangest moments in Olympic history, where endurance, hubris, and early-20th-century pseudoscience collided. What followed were collapses, hallucinations, rule-bending, and decisions so baffling they feel fictional—except they weren’t. This is a story about what happens when ambition outruns common sense, and why the early Olympics were less about glory and more about survival. History has never been this sweaty, dusty, or unwell.

| 2/18/26 | ![]() The Business Plot: A Real Coup Against FDR? | n 1934, a decorated U.S. Marine general testified that powerful businessmen tried to recruit him to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This episode dives into the shocking and largely forgotten story of The Business Plot—a real, congressional-confirmed scheme in which wealthy elites allegedly planned to mobilize hundreds of thousands of veterans, intimidate FDR, and install a fascist-style government in the United States during the Great Depression. We explore the economic collapse of the 1930s, the rise of global fascism, and why Marine Corps hero Smedley Butler became the most unlikely obstacle to an American coup. Congress confirmed the plot was discussed. The media dismissed it. No one was punished. And history quietly moved on. Until now. This is a story about power, money, propaganda, and how close the United States came to losing its democracy—and why so few people know it ever happened. History is messy. And sometimes it’s buried on purpose.

| 2/11/26 | ![]() Arizona Navy 1934: When a Desert State Went to War | Arizona is a desert. So why did it have a navy? In 1934, a bitter fight over the Colorado River pushed Arizona to the brink—and straight into one of the strangest standoffs in American history. When California began construction on Parker Dam, Arizona responded with troops, martial law, and a pair of commandeered ferry boats, creating a navy in a state with no coastline and no patience left. This episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes explores the absurd, high-stakes water war that pitted Arizona against California, complete with armed guards, newspaper mockery, and a 48-hour naval force led by an unexpected admiral. It’s a true story where political stubbornness, bad math, and the desperate need for water collided in spectacular fashion. Unhinged, underreported, and somehow still relevant today—this is the Arizona Navy, and it really happened.

| 2/4/26 | ![]() Hugh Glass: The Man Who Refused to Die | The real story behind The Revenant is far stranger, darker, and more unhinged than anything Hollywood put on screen. This episode dives into the unbelievable life of Hugh Glass — sailor, pirate captive, adopted Pawnee tribesman, frontier scout, and the man who survived a grizzly mauling so brutal it defies logic. Abandoned by his companions and left with nothing but a bear hide and pure spite, Glass began one of the most astonishing survival journeys in American history. Pirates, pine‑needle sacrifices, frontier chaos, and a revenge mission powered by sheer will — this is Hugh Glass like you’ve never heard him. Check out our website at rainydayrabbitholes.com.
