Today I'm joined by Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira - jk, I wish. Instead, I read from Peterson's 2021 memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark. It's a genuinely good memoir so you should check it out if she interests you; if not, I've gleaned and summarized the parapolitical elements if you don't. 

We're talking about Sus Colorado, the military-industrial complex, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Vegas, the Rat Pack, the Osmonds, Elvis as ascended master?, Fellini, Wilt Chamberlain, Briarcliff Manor, ghosts, Borax tycoons, Adnan Khashoggi, Khashoggi's guru Chandraswami and the can of worms that unlocks.

Since 1978 or 79 growing up in the Midwest, I've was told/read that the FBI off'd Jimi

Fun and interesting episode! I love your multipart larger pieces but I’m digging these one offs too. Also, sick music as per usual

idk how much material there'd be, but Spooktober 2023 should be a multi-part exploration of various horror hosts: Joe Bob Briggs...Svengoolie....Zacherley....Ghoulardi (Paul Thomas Anderson's dad), etc.

I almost spat out my drink when you dropped Khashoggi's name. That was nowhere near what I thought the payoff for the bathroom story would be...

The Elvis accent was A+. Also this rendition of I put a spell on you is unbelievable.
