Welcome to Boring History to Sleep — the only show where falling asleep in the middle is not only allowed… it’s encouraged. Each episode takes you on a slow, uneventful stroll through the most yawn-worthy corners of the past: treaties nobody remembers, kings who ruled for three weeks, and revolutions that never really got started. Delivered in the softest, most sleep-inducing voice we could find, this show is like warm milk with a side of ancient trivia. Perfect for insomniacs, history nerds, and anyone who thinks a Roman tax policy discussion sounds like a lullaby. Lay back, close your eyes

Tom and Jackie Hawks were living the dream in retirement, sailing their yacht Well Deserved along the California coast. But when the birth of a new grandson called them back to Arizona, they put the boat up for sale. Enter Skylar Deleon and his wife Jennifer, who showed up as prospective buyers—with their baby in tow. What seemed like an innocent deal soon turned into a nightmare.After a “sea trial,” the Hawks vanished. Police uncovered a sinister plot: the Deleons, drowning in debt, had conspired with accomplices to murder the couple, seize their assets, and fund Skylar’s long-desired gender reassignment surgery. Investigators also linked Skylar to a third homicide, exposing an escalating trail of violence and greed.In this newly updated edition of her book, Caitlin Rother dives deep into the case’s shocking twists: Skylar’s conviction and death row sentence, her subsequent transition while incarcerated, and the legal battles over taxpayer-funded gender confirmation surgery and a possible prison transfer. With California’s death penalty currently under moratorium, the case continues to stir outrage among the Hawks’ family and community.

Cosmosis [Formerly The UFO Rabbit Hole]
Kelly Chase & Jay Christopher King
Reality isn’t what you’ve been told. Cosmosis is your portal to the edge of what we know—and what we don’t. Hosted by writer and researcher Kelly Chase (The UFO Rabbit Hole) and lifelong experiencer and filmmaker Jay Christopher King (The Experiencer Group), this podcast explores the mysteries of UFOs, non-human intelligence, consciousness, the paranormal, and the hidden architectures of reality. We’re not here for manufactured narratives about UFO disclosure or sanitized intelligence community talking points. We’re after the real story—one that’s far stranger, far more beautiful, and far more transformative than we've ever been told. Each episode brings you in-the-field conversations and deep-dive interviews with experiencers, researchers, scientists, and visionaries—people pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and reimagining what it means to be human. If you’ve ever felt the signal beneath the noise… if you’re ready to question everything and follow that signal into the unknown—you’re in the right place. This is Cosmosis. Come with us. Brought to you by SpectreVision Radio. https://Cosmosis.Media [This is also where you can find all the archives from The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast.]
