15 MAY. 2025 · Well, we have a gem of an episode here, where we look into the life of James MacLaine and William Plunkett. We follow what we can of their births and young lives as we discuss how the pair came to be the Gentleman Bandits that they were, what famous people they robbed, how they got caught and their final, if quite different, fates. We also discuss what a blunderbuss is and why it would make a good brand name for underwear, whether James is related to John of the Die Hard Franchise, and so much more in this 1700's historical episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

9 MAY. 2025 · What an episode!!! In Arthur's Corner, he discusses fudge, chocolate chip cookies and 12 Angry Men. We also discuss the neurodivergent line that seems to run through our family. Then we settle down and begin to discuss this week's subject, Victoria California Woodhull. This woman, born to a devout spiritualist and a con man that got them ran out of their Homer Ohio home. She's married to a 'doctor' at 15 and works travelling medicine shows and spiritualist spectacles which eventually leads her to meet Cornelius Vanderbilt. She becomes a powerful figure, who believes in women's suffrage, the Free Love Movement (which in the 1860's is very different from the similarly named movement of the 1960's). She starts a newspaper and so much more in this about to be a movie starring Brie Larson episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

1 MAY. 2025 · Well this episode is a ton of fun. We are joined by longtime friend of the Fam, Stand Up Comic and Dutch Uncle Dale Hilton. He requested we cover a topic called the Whisky Wars and it is a doozy. In 1973 Canada and Denmark were unable to agree as to which country owned the kidney-shaped nothing of an island called Hans Island. With neither side willing to set aside their claim to the island, this led to an interesting 'conflict' of a sort. Over the next several years, the countries would take turns visiting the island leaving their flag, a bottle of liquor and a sign. They went back and forth leaving liquor and flags in a passive agressive conflict that only ended when the nations divided the island down the middle. We also talk about times we (the adults, Arthur listens patiently) got drunk and what we used to get drunk on in the days before the interwebs. So join us for this ever so slightly not quite PG-13 episode of fun and frolic from the Family Plot Podcast!

24 ABR. 2025 · This episode has so much going on, we don't know where to begin. Arthur discusses a recent family visit to Kansas City's Case Park and some rather naughty grafitti he discovered. The family discusses their favorite Kansas City Barbecue joint and Arthur discusses making Spanish Tortillas. All that plus we cover the strange case of the Greenbrier Ghost, the only ghost in American history to implicate her killer in this amazing story about the early days of West Virginia. You can't make this stuff up in this amazingly historic and hysterical episode of the Family Plot Podcast.

17 ABR. 2025 · We cover soooo very much in this episode. The Seven Layer Dip of Hell. Author S. J. Tilly. Stuffed Austrian Shepherds. Sponsor Girls. And so very much more as we head, in spirit, to Milwaukee Wisconsin to talk about the life, trial, and conviction of Lawrencia 'Laurie' Bembenek. We cover her life's story and how she was brutally railroaded into a murder conviction for a murder that it is impossible for her to have committed. We cover her appeals, and finally her desperate escape which made her a folk hero. We cover all this and her brutal bad luck in the rest of her life in this did this REALLY happen episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

We discuss Mrs. O'Leary's cow, the movie 'Near Dark', the Independence Center Mall, more stuff in Arthur's Corner, what it must have been like to be an inmate freed because of the fire and so, so much more.

27 MAR. 2025 · What can I say about this episode? It runs the gamut. The main topic is the Triangle Shirtwaiste Fire and how two businessmen who were in the habit of locking doors while employees worked doomed 147 mostly immigrants and women to their deaths. We talk the history of the company, the state of the US for workers in 1911 and the fire itself. We also cover the trial and the legacy of the fire. Arthur reminisces about his trip to Planet Comicon, and talks the Roblox sensation Dandy's World as we discuss why it's so important why there needs to be laws in place to protect workers in this whole lotta historical, little bit silly but a lotta bit sad episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

20 MAR. 2025 · We have so MUCH rich muchness in this episode. A veritable souffle of things to learn and family banter! Lexi stops by to tell us she feeels sponsored. Gotta love our 7 year old. Arthur lets us know about his upcoming trip to Planet Comicon in his corner and we talk about being without water as the trailer court we live in ;upgrades' their pipes. And none of that is even the show topic!!! Ever heard of Starlite? Not Starlink, Starlite? (Pay attention bunkie). It's an incredible compound that if it was put on an egg, and an acetylene torch was then used on the egg, it would remain cool to the touch, completely uncooked. It could be spread over a human hand and if exposed to flame or heat, the hand remained unharmed! Or what about a grenade used in the days of the Babylonian empire that would burn on top of water and even couldn't be put out with water? This was Greek Fire! We discuss Sylphium, Mithridatium, Nepenthe, flexible glass, the Lycurgus Cup, Damascus Steel, Stradivarius Violins and Roman Cement, all amazing inventions, or plants that were in common usage in their time that have become simply lost to history. So come on in, sit down a spell and learn about some cool inventions with us!!!

14 MAR. 2025 · So in the 17th Century, in Rome, Giulia Tofana led a group of women who made devotional oils, cosmetic liquids and of course, poison. This poison was a famed untraceable and undetectable poison for it's time and it was dubbed Aqua Tofana. 4 doses they said, could put any man in his grave. It was a way for women, who could not get a divorce to get out of some very bad situations and over 20 years, these women claimed to have killed over 600 men, We discuss the poison, the time, the place and famous folks who felt they were victims of this strange brew. We also talk bodily autonomy, the trend 'Make Aqua Tofana Great Again', Dandy's World, The Princess Bride, (Princess Buttercup has entered the chat), iocaine powder and just plain being decent to one another in this, wait, they REALLY did that episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
