The Midnight Girlcast

This week, Anna takes Sarah to the misty Scottish Highlands for a bedtime story that feels straight out of a gothic novel.In 1836, a group of boys exploring Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh discovered something no one has ever been able to explain: seventeen tiny handmade coffins hidden inside the rocks. Nearly two centuries later, historians still debate who made them and why. Were they connected to grave robbers, Scottish folklore, lost sailors, witchcraft, or something else entirely?Join us as we wander through Scottish legends, Victorian rituals, cold case theories, and our own completely unqualified attempt to solve a 200 year old mystery. 🌙 Follow us:Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Goodnight Midnight Girls

This week Sarah & Anna take you on a winding journey through cults, criminals, and celebrity drama, and somehow it all connected. Sarah dives into the documentary Trust Me: The False Prophet, Anna shares the memoir The Sound of Gravel, and then we spiral (in the best way) into pop culture chaos, from Alex vs Alex to the internet’s obsession with picking sides. At the center of it all is one big question: why do humans get pulled in so easily? Whether it’s a charismatic leader, a viral personality, or a trending feud, we talk about manipulation, belonging, groupthink, and the psychology behind why people follow, defend, and sometimes ignore their gut instincts.Follow us:Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Goodnight Midnight Girls

This week Ana and Sarah talk about what happens when astrology, faith, and curiosity all collide in one conversation.

Is Heathcliff romantic… or the biggest red flag in literary history?This week Sarah & Anna watched "Wuthering Heights" so you don’t have to keep pretending it’s a love story.

Why did we have so many friends in 2016… and only a handful now?This week, Sarah and Anna unpack the seasonality of friendship and why shrinking circles aren’t a sign that something went wrong.

This one’s about making peace with who’s in your circle now.Follow us:Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Goodnight Midnight Girls

From Scientology to Mormonism, we unpack how faith can sometimes cross the line into high-control systems, why certain groups get labeled as cults, and what that label actually means.This conversation is based on publicly available documentaries, reporting, and personal accounts. We’re not here to attack individual beliefs, we’re talking about power, control, and the red flags that make people say… yeah, that’s cult behavior.Follow us:Instagram | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tik Tok | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@themidnightgirlcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Goodnight Midnight Girls
