Mummies FINAL

It's hard to imagine that once upon a time Utah was home to not only a Japanese internment camp, but multiple prisoner of war camps built to hold Nazi and Axis prisoners captured in battle. It was inside one of these camps in Salina, Utah where Private Clarence Bertucci committed the worst massacre in a U.S. POW camp, shooting nearly 30 sleeping prisoners, leaving 9 dead.

Utah's P.O.W. Midnight Massacre

The U.S. government hadn't put a woman to death in nearly 70 years. That changed Wednesday when Lisa Montgomery died by lethal injection for killing a pregnant woman (Bobbie Jo Stinnett) and cutting the 7-month-old fetus from her womb.

We are back! After weeks of no Saturday Morning Serial, Jackson has finally brought it back. And since he's made you wait so long, it only makes sense to give you a full hour of the largest mass murder of Americans in a single event until 9/11. This is the story of the Jonestown massacre.

The Cline Babies

Over 200 'Our Gang' movies (also known as 'The Little Rascals) were made between 1922 and 1944. Over 130 children starred in these short films and many of them have met truly unfortunate ends.

Saturday Morning Serial is a companion podcast to The Mix Morning Fix. Each week, Jackson tells his co-hosts, Jon and Monroe, a true-crime story.

This is one of my favorite podcasts! I am a huge fan of true crime. I listen to this and the Mix Morning Fix broadcast/podcast. The way Jackson tells the stories is amazing.  If you love true crime with a hint of silliness from Jackson, Monroe, and Jon, I cannot rate this podcast segment high enough. You guys are the best!

I love it!

Cyntoia Brown

Cyntoia Brown was just 16 years old when she was picked up and turned into a child of sex trafficking. She was brutally beat, raped, starved, and forced to perform sex for any man who paid her captor. It wasn't long before she ended up turning on these men. She shot and murdered one of her attackers. Unfortunately, she was tried as an adult and sentenced to life in prison. After a recent outcry on social media, the Tennesee Governor commuted her sentence. Now on the outside, Cyntoia has published a book about her experience called "Free Cyntoia" and will join us after the show to talk about more details.

This week, we discuss serial killer Glen Rogers also known as the Casanova Killer or the Cross-Country Killer. Make sure to stick around for the crazy twist at the end!

The 60's brought about an era of peace and love... oh, and bloodshed. On this episode, we will explore life in Charles Manson's cult through the eyes of one of his followers. Diane 'Snake' Lake, the youngest member of the cult, joins us after the show to talk about her experience with this deranged man.

There are plenty of things to fear in the wilderness: bears, mountain lions, falling from cliffs, fires, perhaps even alien abductions (if you believe in that sort of thing). But if you’re like Jon, perhaps you never considered the truly terrifying possibility that the monster in the woods isn’t a monster at all. On this week’s Saturday Morning Serial, we talk about several different cases with the same theme; people enjoying the great outdoors, murdered in cold blood. You’ll never want to leave your house again (which is fine, because it’s cold and there’s no internet out there). Want to advertise on our podcast? Email camila@bwaymedia.com

A clean, well-dressed body found lying on an Australian beach turns out to be one of the most compelling mysteries ever.
