Dark & Glittery

Federal jury duty sounds like a civic duty… until you’re sitting in a courtroom holding someone’s fate in your hands. This week, Kat takes us inside a real federal trial — the selection process, the fear, the confusion, the secrecy, the emotional exhaustion, and the haunting moment of having to say the word: GUILTY. What happens behind closed jury room doors? How does it feel knowing your decision changes someone’s life forever? And what follows you home after it’s all over? Dark. Human. Uncomfortable. Glittery.  

Episode 9 is a little unhinged… in the best way. We’re back after a two-month hiatus and diving straight into March horoscopes, “psychic” tarot energy, and why the universe might be screaming at you… if you’d just listen. 🔮✨ But then—because this is us—we take a hard left into dating horror stories. Not the funny kind. The should’ve trusted my gut kind. We’re talking: 🚩 The red flags you ignore (and regret) 🚨 Dating stories that feel more like true crime 🧠 How your gut always knows—before you do 💔 The relationships that shape you… and sometimes break you This episode gets real, dark, a little chaotic—and somehow still glittery. If you’ve ever second-guessed your intuition, this is your reminder: your gut was right. Trust it.

The stars are talking — whether we’re ready or not. This week on Dark & Glittery, we dig into horoscopes, tarot cards, and what the universe claims is coming next. From the Year of the Taurus to soulmate predictions that feel suspiciously personal, we pull cards, read signs, and question free will entirely. It’s astrology, intuition, and just enough chaos to make you wonder if the universe is watching.

Hosts Amanda and Jayme bring back true crime analyst Bridget, and she’s bringing updates on the cases that continue to live rent-free in our minds. In this episode, we dive into the latest twists — from Karen Read countersuing and what it could mean for the case, to d4vid and the increasingly complicated web of potential lovers surrounding him. We unpack what’s changed, what still feels off, and why these stories refuse to let go. Equal parts unsettling, fascinating, and darkly addictive — this one will stick with you long after the episode ends. 🖤

Friendship breakups don’t get closure. They get quiet. In Episode 6, Jayme and Amanda talk about the dark side of friendships — the slow ghosting, the unspoken betrayals, and the people who disappear without explanation. They’re joined by their friend Jaime, adding perspective from inside the friendship — the kind that only comes from lived experience, not hindsight. If you’ve ever lost a friend and replayed every conversation wondering where it went wrong, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar. Raw, relatable, and uncomfortably real — this episode lingers.

This week, Amanda and Jayme explore the paranormal… and the even spookier species of men who don’t know what a boundary is. Episode 5 brings in VP powerhouse Heather Seiler, whose ghost encounters were surprisingly respectful — unlike the men in her real-life horror stories.  Heather also dives into modern dating chaos—bots, misleading profiles, awkward matchmaker dates and stalker-like suitors—mixing dark, hilarious and relatable stories about dating after a long relationship. Expect: glitter, good gossip, questionable decisions, haunted vibes, and the universal truth that sometimes the spirits have more emotional intelligence than the living.

We break down the viral Tesla torso case, the shooting of teacher Abby Zwerner, and the wild theories the internet created around both. Then we play Real or Reddit, unpack reality-TV chaos, and try to figure out what’s real, what’s fake, and what’s pure internet delusion. True crime, Reddit spirals, pop culture, and Dark & Glittery humor — all in one episode.

The Devil Is in the Details (w/ True Crime Analyst Bridget) Some people binge Netflix. Bridget binges murder trials. She’s not just a true-crime fan — she’s a forensic thinker who reads every affidavit, decodes every transcript, and spots the inconsistencies that change everything. When a case breaks, she’s already ten theories deep and cross-referencing timelines most people miss. This episode dives into four of the darkest, most debated cases of our time: The Idaho College Murders — four victims, one suspect, and questions that still don’t add up. The Karen Read Trial — where fact and internet frenzy collide. The Charlie Kirk Homicide — a tragedy twisted by politics and conspiracy. The Lindsey Clancy Case — a chilling look at mental health, accountability, and the line between illness and intent. Bridget takes us inside her process — how she filters chaos from truth, why she keeps digging long after the headlines fade, and what these stories reveal about human nature. Because the deeper you dig, the darker it gets. And sometimes, the truth isn’t buried at all… it’s staring right back at you.

When the interview falls through, the spirits show up. In this episode, Amanda and Jayme open the door to their own ghost stories — the spooky kind and the ones that hit a little too close to home. Between laughter, goosebumps, and a little sage smoke, the hosts dive into the meaning of “dark”: fear, intuition, and the strange things that go bump when no one’s watching. From mom guilt and bruised shins to seances gone sideways, eerie numbers that lead to a midnight graveyard (1824, anyone?), and unexplained knocks in the night — nothing is off limits. Just remember: every haunting starts with someone who didn’t believe.

The scandal. The photo. The moms who saw too much. In the premiere episode of Dark & Glittery, Amanda and Jayme spill the story behind the small-town photo that rocked the PTA, broke the internet (well, locally), and accidentally launched this podcast. Plot twist: It wasn’t what it looked like — but try telling that to a small town. One wild rumor was just the beginning. Welcome to Dark & Glittery — where the stories are dark, the laughs are real, and nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Messy, raw, unfiltered. If it’s too dark, we throw glitter on it. That’s Dark and Glittery.
