  • Saved by the Bell: Buried Alive
    Dec 17 2024

    Ever had a nightmare about waking up six feet under? Same. In this chilling episode of Prying Minds, Liss and Bee unearth the harrowing history of being buried alive—because, yes, it really happened. A lot! From spine-tingling tales of people clawing their way out of coffins to the ingenious (and downright bizarre) inventions known as “safety coffins,” this episode is equal parts fascinating and freaky.

    But wait, there’s more! Why did some people willingly choose to be buried alive? And how did humanity’s ultimate nightmare turn into an obsession throughout history? Grab a shovel, maybe a bell, and prepare to hold your breath—Liss and Bee are digging deep into history’s most claustrophobic “oopsie.”

  • Rune-ing History: The Kensington Rune-stone Conudrum
    Dec 11 2024

    Lost Vikings in Minnesota? A mysterious carved rock found in the 1800s? The Kensington Runestone has been puzzling historians, skeptics, and cryptic message enthusiasts for over a century. In this episode of Prying Minds, Liss and Bee take on the great debate: Is the Runestone a genuine artifact from Norse explorers or an elaborate hoax by a very imaginative farmer?

    Join us as we decode runes, unravel the drama, and explore why this stone has become a cornerstone (pun intended) of American historical controversy. From suspicious translations to wild theories about Viking road trips, we’ll leave no rune unturned. Tune in for history, humor, and some Minnesota nice!
