Episode 207 The Apollo 11 Moon Landing
25 JUL 2024 · In this episode, we make our first foray into outer space as we cover the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, what led to it, and how there are now people who doubt that we ever made the trip. We discuss the astronauts on the flight, their histories and how they combined to make the Moon Landing the success that it was. In his corner, Arthur discusses Aardwolves and a whole host of colorful fancy people get discussed on this week's episode of the Family Plot Podcast! You should listen, it's outta this world!
Episode 206 Anne Bonny and Mary Read - Piracy and Freedom
18 JUL 2024 · In this episode we sail round the Horn and back again as we look into the lives, trial and mysteries of the Naussau Pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Part of Calico Jack Rackham's crew, these two dressed as men, cursed, drank, fought and killed with their pirate brethren and for two months lived completely free, a rare thing for women in the Early 1700's. We dig into what little is known about their early lives, what led them to become pirates and how their two months as lawless pirates made them so famous they are still talked about to this day. Laura has Covid AND the Flu, she never does anything by halves. Arthur discusses people mocking the trans movement by identifying as helicopters and toasters and in the end, we are forced to admit that Anne Bonny disappeared sometime after she had been imprisoned on the Bahamas and we do not know how or where her life ended. So join us for this special episode all about these two pirates and so much more in this Jolly Roger Episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
Episode 205 Doctor Sam Sheppard - Wrestling with Loss featuring 'Chronic' Chris Page
11 JUL 2024 · So much good stuff in this episode! First, we are joined by Chris Page, the man who produces Travis Orndorff's podcast and has multiple wrestling podcasts and twitch streams. Chris and Dean discuss their history and their friendship and Arthur has a new sting to introduce her corner. (Courtesy of our new sound engineer, Blue Boese) We also focus this week on Doctor Sam Sheppard, a doctor from Ohio who was accused of murdering his pregnant wife. However, the carnival-like atmosphere of his trial and even the judge publicly saying he was guilty eventually earn him a new trial and his freedom. After ten years in prison, wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder, he tried to make a new life for himself even wrestling and inventing the 'Mandibular Nerve Pinch' a move Mankind repackaged into 1996 into the Mandible Claw. Still, he eventually passed away from the effects of alcoholism in this special, man I wonder where they got the idea for the Fugitive movie and TV show episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

Episode 204 Stand for Something - The Life of Rosa Parks
4 JUL 2024 · This powerful episode of the Family Plot Podcast is so full of stuff, we should wrap it in a bow! Krys announces this week that she prefers to go by Arthur with male pronouns. She also talks about dingoes, which Dean claims are his baby, or maybe just Merryl Streep's. Then we focus on the life of Rosa Parks. Her childhood, her first experiences with racism, her education and how she became a lifelong activist. And while she was not the first to get arrested for refusing to give up her seat for a white passenger, doing so made her the face of the Freedom Movement. We discuss her struggles and her continued activism later in life and so much more in this episode examining one of the people integral to the Freedom movement in the United States on this powerful episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

Charley was one of the roughest, toughest, hardest-drinking, most coarse and foul-mouthed fellow to ever drive a six horse coach. Charley was famed on the west coast for his abilities. So it was with some womder that when he died a few years later, his neighbors were quite shocked to discover that Charley had been born a woman.
