• E275: Generational Murder
    Jun 18 2026
    In 1996, Sally Snowden McKay and her nephew, blues musician Lee Baker, were murdered at the historic Snowden estate on Horseshoe Lake. A teenager named Travis Santay Lewis was charged and convicted of the murders. Despite the unimaginable loss, Sally’s daughter, Martha, chose forgiveness, and when Lewis was released from prison 23 years later, Martha gave him a second chance. But that decision would lead to another devastating tragedy. This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams. Thanks for listening!

  • FRUITLOOPS REVIEWS: Knock Down the House
    Jun 11 2026
    Back in March 2025, in honor of Women's History Month, Wendy & Beth gathered for Video Club to discuss the documentary Knock Down the House. The film follows four women from very different backgrounds - a Bronx bartender, a coal miner's daughter from West Virginia, a grieving mother in Nevada, and a nurse in Missouri - as they launch grassroots campaigns to challenge powerful, long-established members of Congress. Through determination, community organizing, and a willingness to take on the political establishment, they fight for a chance to bring new voices to Washington. Their journeys culminate in one of the most surprising political upsets in recent American history. Music “Intranet” by Yung Kartz. https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Yung_Kartz.

  • E273: The Cincinnati Strangler
    May 21 2026
    Between December 1965 and December 9, 1966, fear gripped Cincinnati as a killer stalked the city’s streets, leaving seven women dead. As panic spread and pressure mounted, investigators focused on local resident Posteal Laskey Jr., who was arrested on December 9, 1966, for one of the murders and later convicted. Though never charged in the other six deaths, police and the media quickly linked them all to him. This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.

  • FRUITLOOPS REVIEWS: 4 Little Girls
    May 7 2026
    Back in February 2025, Fruitloops Video Club watched and discussed the powerful documentary 4 Little Girls by Spike Lee. The film examines the horrific 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, where four young Black girls, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley, were murdered in an act of racist terrorism carried out by members of a Ku Klux Klan-affiliated group. Through archival footage and emotional interviews, the documentary explores not only the tragedy itself, but the broader fight for Civil Rights in America. It’s a heartbreaking, important, and deeply impactful documentary that stays with you long after it ends. Music “Blue Light Special” & “Perfect Servings” by Marlene Miller. Used with permission.
