Summary
On this very wet edition of the Nonsense Bazaar, we’ll dive into the stories of two rainmakers: Don Decker, a man allegedly possessed by the devil who gained the ability to make it rain following a death in the family, and Lillie Stoat, the elderly Mississippi potion maker who caused a stir in the 1940s. She’s the most famous woman in history! We’ll examine the evidence for and against their abilities, hear a lot of silly names and once and for all, make it rain here at the Nonsense Bazaar. And you can make it rain on us by joining The Nonsense Bazaar Patreon where you'll get bonus episodes, access to our Discord server, and the comfort of knowing that you're helping keep us from turning to the grift. https://www.patreon.com/thenonsensebazaar

96 - The Parasite Pill
Release Date: 03/01/2023
Description: Does the thought of mind-controlling parasites upset you? It should, it’s very likely you have them…apparently almost everybody does! That’s why the world is so messed up! We’re all being piloted by worms thanks to some people who huffed pigeon poop in a cave 15,000 years ago. At least that’s what one document making the rounds online titled “The Parasite Pill” would like you to believe. They claim that parasites are the cause for all human suffering but there IS a cure… find out the antidote on this very sick and twisted episode of The Nonsense Bazaar!

101 - Criminally Obscene: A Condensed History of Obscenity Law in America
Release Date: 04/05/2023
Description: We’re big fans of all things lewd, obscene and filthy here at the Nonsense Bazaar. We enjoy our right to say and do disgusting things, and to hell with anyone who tries to get in our way! That’s why today, we’ll be talking about the century long battle within the American court system over what constitutes “obscenity”. We’ll start after the Civil War when two Foote doctors went up against a nosy Anti-Vice blowhard who went through peoples private mail, explore the Lavender Scare of the 50s as it relates to the anti-LGBT rhetoric of today and end up in the 1970s with the establishment of the Miller Test. Your support keeps The Nonsense Bazaar ad-free and delightfully obscene!

What do Jumbo Shrimp have to do with anything?
