The Brohio Podcast

This episode is a wild ride through one of the most chaotic events in sporting history. If you thought modern marathons were intense, wait until you hear about the 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon—featuring dust clouds, strychnine "performance enhancers," wild dogs, and a winner who hitched a ride in a car for half the race. It’s less of a race and more of a 26-mile fever dream that barely anyone survived.We also know that life can feel like a grueling marathon sometimes, and you don’t have to run it alone. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Whether you’re navigating the hurdles of a relationship or just trying to find your pace, therapy can help you clear the dust and see the finish line.Take the pressure off yourself and get 10% off your first month at BetterHelp.com/BROHIO.Find Us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/BrohiopodcastWe Live Stream All Our Episodes! youtube.com/brohiopodcastFind us on all the socials @BrohioPodcast

This week on The Brohio Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into the wild world of mass hysteria—when fear, paranoia, and collective delusion spread faster than facts. From the Dancing Plague that made people dance themselves to death, to the Salem Witch Trials, the Tanganyika Laughing Epidemic, Y2K panic, mystery seeds from China, and the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast that sent America into a full-blown meltdown. No ghosts. No monsters. Just humans losing their absolute minds—together. We break down the dumbest details, the most egregious reactions, and the moments where society collectively short-circuited. Buckle up… because once hysteria takes hold, logic is the first casualty.Sponsored by BetterHelpIf stress, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts are creeping in, BetterHelp makes professional therapy accessible and easy.

A private island. A children’s charity. A grass airstrip in the middle of Lake Michigan. What could possibly go wrong? This week we dive into the slow-burn nightmare of North Fox Island — how vulnerable kids were lured to a place cut off from the world, how everything unraveled, and why the most important questions were never answered. This one gets heavy.SponsorsGet access to your money, today!! Download the EARNIN app and tell them Brohio sent you!!Therapy is an absolute GAME CHANGER!!

This week on Brohio, we descend into one of the darkest intersections of sex, power, and violence—unpacking the Heidi Carter case out of Evansville, Indiana. What begins as a swinging hookup spirals into drugs, domination, confinement, and murder, exposing how “consensual adventure” can curdle into control and erasure behind closed doors. To widen the lens, we also sit down with a sex worker operating in the outer edges of the fetish economy—including the bizarre, lucrative market for selling soiled panties—pulling back the curtain on taboo labor, demand-driven depravity, and where fantasy ends and harm begins. It’s uncomfortable. It’s unsettling. And it’s a reminder that when boundaries collapse, the consequences can be fatal.Find Us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/c/BrohiopodcastWe Live Stream All Our Episodes! youtube.com/brohiopodcastFind us on all the socials @BrohioPodcast

This week on Brohio, we dive into one of the most disturbing true crime cases we’ve ever covered — the Travis Fieldgrove and Samantha Kershner case. What begins as a reunion between a missing father and daughter spirals into a criminal investigation involving DNA testing, a shocking marriage, courtrooms full of silence, and a story so morally broken it leaves more questions than answers. This isn’t tabloid shock for shock’s sake — it’s a deep look at manipulation, power imbalance, systemic failure, and how something that never should’ve happened was allowed to go way too far. This one is heavy, uncomfortable, and impossible to forget. Listener discretion is strongly advised.Sponsored by EarnIn Life doesn’t always line up with payday — but your bills don’t care.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into one of the weirdest, wildest, “are-you-sure-this-is-real?” true crime sagas of the last few years — the Paul Pelosi hammer incident. A late-night break-in…A mysterious man in partial clothing…A 911 call that sounds less like a hostage situation and more like an awkward couple’s fight…And a hammer being held by both dudes like they were sharing a magic wand at Hogwarts. Was this a political attack?A lovers’ quarrel gone nuclear?A secret rendezvous with a hammer-happy handyman?Or the San Francisco version of a romantic comedy that gets violently interrupted? We break down the police footage, the timelines, the conspiracies, the rumors, the inside-out broken door, and the “he’s a friend” phone call that made the whole country raise an eyebrow so high it touched God.If you’re ready to add a little spice to your day (hopefully less chaotic than a late-night hammer meetup), then it’s time to jump into DraftKings Casino — the only place where you can play slots, blackjack, roulette, and all your favorite casino games straight from your phone.
