Send us Fan MailEver wondered how we manage to blend true crime, paranormal tales, and whimsical oddities seamlessly? This week on "Wicked Wanderings," we share a candid look behind the microphone, where personal life mishaps couldn't stop us from uncovering fascinating stories. From the art of perfect mic positioning to the giddy excitement of unwrapping a lobotomy book, our recording sessions are nothing short of an adventure. Plus, our cozy recording room just got a literary upgrade with stunning Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft prints—purchased from none other than the Big E’s Rhode Island building.Step into the often-overlooked corners of the Big E with us in "Exploring Shopping and Book Hunting." While many focus on the food and music, we're here for the hidden gems—like the Sasquatch-themed booth and an extraordinary book vendor. My sensory-driven approach to book shopping led me to the "Weird US" book, an absolute treasure trove brimming with bizarre tales from across America. If you've ever been curious about lesser-known phenomena and peculiar historical tidbits, this chapter will inspire you to embrace the wonderfully weird.Journey with us into the mysteries of "North Adams and Kennedy Family History." Eerie shrieks and barking dogs set the scene for our deep dive into the dark history of serial killer Louis Lent and the haunting case of Lynn Burdick's disappearance. Personal connections make these spine-chilling stories even more compelling. We also reminisce about North Adams Hospital’s evolving role and share amusing encounters with celebrities like Christopher Reeve and Rob Lowe. It’s a blend of chilling true crime, heartfelt personal anecdotes, and the quirky charm of a seemingly quiet town.
