We discuss the case of William Toomey, a man who ended his journey in a church in Boise, Idaho and left quite a mystery behind. It's mentioned at the top, but this episode is all about somebody who died from suicide, so skip it if needed. We also touch briefly on the issue of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, but don't go into any particular detail,…

Devon takes us down... deep down into the Seattle Underground! Let's learn about Bill Spiedel and the unique world he helped preserve beneath Seattle's streets. (We kinda allude to this at one point but Spiedel did like a dash of flavor with his history, so let's take it all with a "as told by" grain of salt. I still don't quite buy that anybody li…

Content notes: Kate gets engaged while underage (probably), and toward the end of his life, Pantages was accused of sexually assaulting a minor. No details, we basically just say 'this was the accusation, he went to trial, he was convicted, then acquitted,' but wanted to give yo…
