02/06/2026: S2.E2: Jonestown: The Day the Jungle Went Silent
Jonestown: The Day the Jungle Went Silent: The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat travel deep into the jungles of Guyana, where a secluded religious community became the site of one of the deadliest mass unalivings in modern history. On November 18, 1978, more than 900 members of the Peoples Temple died after cult leader Jim Jones ordered a coordinated act of mass death that stunned the world. What began as a utopian experiment in faith, equality, and escape from oppression collapsed into paranoia, control, and unimaginable tragedy. Join us as we break down how Jonestown was built, what led to its horrifying final day, and why its legacy still shapes how we view cults, power, and blind devotion.

02/13/2026: S2.E3: Love, Lies, and Tommy Guns: The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel step into Chicago, where Prohibition-era power struggles turned a winter morning into one of the most infamous crimes in American history. On February 14, 1929, seven men were gunned down inside a North Side garage in a brazen act of organized crime violence that shocked the nation. Often linked to Al Capone’s war with rival gangs, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre remains a symbol of unchecked corruption, criminal empires, and justice that never fully arrived. Join us as we break down what happened, who was believed to be responsible, and why this case still looms large nearly a century later.

02/20/2026: S2.E4: Electric Chair: 1; Woman: 0 - The Poisoning Practices of Anna Hahn
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat examine the case of Anna Marie Hahn, one of the first women in the United States to be executed in the electric chair - and yes, once again we’re asking: WHY is it always arsenic? In the 1930s, Hahn was accused of poisoning elderly men in Ohio, earning headlines that painted her as manipulative and calculating. Her case marked the eighth time we’ve covered arsenic on this show - bringing our running total to 8 cases and 63 victims linked to this particular poison. This episode walks through the accusations, the trial, and the controversy that still surrounds her conviction. Anna Marie Hahn was more than a headline. We break down what happened, how it happened, and why arsenic keeps showing up in the darkest corners of history.

02/27/2026: S2.E5: Amy Jo Nelson: A Victim and Her Family’s Fight For Justice
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel are joined by Pam Nelson and Abbie Nelson Vann to honor the life and legacy of Amy Jo Nelson. This episode steps away from speculation and into remembrance. Pam and Abbie share who Amy Jo truly was, the unanswered questions surrounding her death, and the investigation her family continues to pursue in the search for justice. Through their voices, Amy Jo is remembered not as a headline, but as a daughter, a sister, and someone deeply loved. This is a conversation rooted in truth, advocacy, and keeping Amy Jo’s name alive.

02/28/2026: S2.E6: Serotonin Saturday (episode1)
The Pandemonium team is switching gears this week for our first installment of Serotonin Saturday, as Cat and Rachel round up some of the most hopeful, fascinating, and downright delightful stories you may have missed in 2025. From California’s historic ban on cat declawing and new rules on ultra-processed school lunches, to goats preventing wildfires in Spain and breakthroughs in treating Huntington’s disease. This episode is packed with wins for animals, people, and the planet all around. We also celebrate a posthumous degree for Māori scholar, the booming secondhand clothing market, the world’s tiniest injectable pacemaker, along research showing that the smell of pizza can actually lower stress. Add in shrinking ozone holes, falling statistics in violent crime, rebounding bumblebee populations, declining child mortality, artificial blood trials, microfiber recycling, falling peanut allergy rates, and slowing deforestation - and you’ve got yourself a full-on good-news buffet. Pour yourself a coffee, get comfy, and let these bright spots carry you into the weekend.

03/06/2026: S2.E7: She Had a Name, and It Was Elizabeth Short: The Unsolved Case of The Black Dahlia
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat examine one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history: the killing of Elizabeth Short, known to the press as the Black Dahlia. In 1947, Elizabeth’s body was discovered in Los Angeles in a crime so brutal it captured national headlines and fueled decades of speculation. But behind the sensational nickname was a 22-year-old woman with plans, friends, and a life that deserved more than myth-making. This episode walks through the timeline of her disappearance, the discovery that shocked the country, the investigation that followed, and the theories that continue to circulate. Most importantly, we focus on Elizabeth - not the legend built around her, but the person at the center of it all.

03/13/2026 - S2.E8 - When Trust Turns Deadly: The Lisa Knoefel Case
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel examine the case of Lisa Knoefel, a mother whose life was taken in a calculated act that unfolded inside her own home. What initially appeared to be a brutal attack soon revealed a disturbing conspiracy involving manipulation, control, and betrayal. As investigators dug deeper, the relationships at the center of the case exposed a dynamic far more complex than it first seemed. This episode walks through Lisa’s background, the night of the attack, the shocking courtroom testimony that followed, and the lasting impact on her family - especially the children caught in the aftermath.
Above all, we focus on Lisa as a person, not just a case, and the justice process that followed her death.

03/20/2026 - S2.E9 - Mother, Soap Maker, and Cannibalistic Cake Maker: The Ways Leonarda Cianciulli
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Rachel and Cat head to 1930s Italy to examine the case of Leonarda Cianciulli, a woman whose fear, superstition, and desperation spiraled into calculated murder. Known as the “Soap-Maker of Correggio,” Leonarda claimed she was trying to protect her son from a prophetic curse when she lured women into her home and killed them. What followed was a chilling blend of ritual, manipulation, and a community that trusted her completely.
This episode walks through Leonarda’s troubled past, the cultural climate of Fascist-era Italy, the disappearances that raised suspicion, and the trial that stunned the country.
Beyond the grotesque headlines, we examine how belief, control, and fear became deadly - and remember the women whose lives were taken.

3/27/2026 - S2.E10 - Control, Calculation, & the Anatomy of Manipulation: The Tales of Ted Bundy AKA
The Pandemonium team is back, and this week Cat and Rachel take on one of the most infamous names in true crime - Ted Bundy, who we’ve lovingly renamed Sparkle Tits because absolutely not. From his carefully crafted charm to the trail of violence he left across multiple states, this episode breaks down how Bundy manipulated victims, media, and the justice system while hiding in plain sight. We focus on the facts, the failures that allowed him to keep killing, and the women whose lives were taken - because they deserve to be remembered far more than he does. Grab your hydration station and your skepticism. Sparkle Tits McGee does NOT get the last word.

03/28/2026: S2.E11: SEROTONIN SATURDAY (EPISODE2)
In this second installment of Serotonin Saturday, Pandemonium is talking about the people who show up every single day and quietly hold the world together - teachers. We start with special education teacher Kati Jo Christensen in Weber County, who went viral for dancing on TikTok to erase student lunch debt - turning a small $4,000 goal into support for multiple schools and recognition from the West Haven City Council - and we expand to stories like a teacher in Cleveland securing donated washers and dryers from Lowe’s, alongside nationwide efforts through DonorsChoose, programs from Whirlpool, and care closet initiatives like Kids Kloset in Harbor Beach - all highlighting how teachers quietly step in to meet students’ basic needs so they can show up, learn, and feel seen. The world feels heavy. But these stories - the quiet, everyday acts of care - remind us that compassion is still everywhere. Sometimes it looks like a viral dance. Sometimes it looks like a washer and dryer in a school hallway. And sometimes it looks like a teacher making sure a kid can walk into class with dignity.
