Well, it's been a hot minute, but we're back! Life got pretty crazy and hectic for the last 6 months and we had to take a longer break than anticipated. From broken collarbones to moving, to weddings and jobs changes, we didn't get nearly all the progress made that we wanted but we are thrilled to finally be back and settling into a (hopefully) less hectic schedule.

For our Halloween premiere, Anastasia is opening with a tale that'll have you double checking your locks and windows tonight...

This case is the one that is described as "ending the age of innocence" in the United States.  Most people are unaware of this case, but it is one of the first random mass murders in the 20 century here, and became the reason why many began locking their doors at night. Enter one dark and dreary night, a man by the name of Richard Speck and the 8 nurses who Fortune turned her face from...and the 2 that she favored.

Join us as we enter the history of a quiet townhouse filled with nurses that would soon be filled with horror...

Wait to Panic is a weekly podcast where two longtime friends take turns sharing stories that just might make your skin crawl.
