#NatalieCochran #Creepalachia
In this fact-packed episode, J.D. teams up with Jozy Moore to take on the growing wave of Natalie Cochran deniers—those still defending her or spreading misinformation in the wake of her Ponzi scheme and murder conviction.

We break down the errors in Dateline NBC’s episode, including misleading claims from the defense, like the false suggestion that Michael Cochran would be in prison if he were still alive. Jozy and J.D. present real documents, interviews, and court records that show the truth: Michael was not involved in the fraud, and the narrative being spun by some is dangerously wrong.

This isn’t gossip—it’s the unfiltered truth backed by facts.

#CharlesManson
On this special edition of the Tin Foil Hat Show, a Creepalachia original, J.D. teams up with Tom Riser to dissect the dark legend of Charles Manson—not just the man, but the machine behind him.

From MK-Ultra mind control theories and government manipulation to the Manson Family murders and his lasting grip on pop culture, this episode pulls apart the official narrative and asks: Was Manson just a cult leader—or something far more engineered? Conspiracy, control, chaos—it's all on the table.

#Matewan
In this special donation episode, Mackenzie New-Walker and Shaun Slifer from the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum sit down with J.D. to talk about how a group of passionate volunteers turned a small idea in Matewan into one of the most important grassroots history museums in Appalachia.

They share the story of how the museum began, born out of a desire to tell the true story of the coalfield uprisings, and how it’s grown over the past 10 years into a nationally recognized center for labor history, community memory, and cultural preservation. From preserving artifacts to building relationships with local families, this is a conversation about why history still matters, especially in places where it was almost erased.
