‘Murder in America’ Podcast Launches Spinoff ‘The Conspiracy Files’ on the Bloody FM Network
Co-host of Bloody FM true crime podcast Murder in America and creator of The Paranormal Files YouTube channel, Colin Browen is launching a new show — The Conspiracy Files. Each episode, Colin dives deep into some of the world’s most dangerous and disturbing conspiracy theories.
“From suspicious suicides to hidden pedophile rings and high profile murders, NO STORY is off limits and NO DETAIL will be spared. If you like conspiracies, mysteries, true crime and chaos, then this show is for you,” Browen said about his new show. “Once you go down the rabbit hole, there’s no coming back out… I’ve been down here for years now, and that’s why I created this show.”
The first explosive episode covers the infamous death of Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking ring. Episode 2 will focus on the original “Pedophile Island,” North Fox Island in Michigan, and the unsolved Oakland County child killer case. Episode 3 will cover the suspicious “suicide” of Rey Rivera, whose death was so unbelievably strange that the details remain unclear.

After spending June on explicitly queer texts like Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn (listen) and William Castle’s Homicidal (listen), it’s only appropriate that Horror Queers celebrate the American holiday with a blockbuster film with a not-so-secret gay connection.
In Independence Day, an unlikely group of people come together when the human race faces extinction from a threatening alien race. After spaceships destroy every major city, pilot Steven Hiller (Will Smith) must team up with secret tech genius David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum), as well as the US President (Bill Pullman), to execute a daring plan to save the planet from annihilation.
Along for the ride are the two saviors’ romantic partners – WH Communications Director Constance (Margaret Colin) and stripper Jasmine (Vivica A. Fox) – plus eccentric scientist Dr. Okun (Brent Spiner), who is at the center of the film’s most horrific set piece.

Episode 393: Independence Day (1996)
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day…courtesy of gay German director Roland Emmerich.
As the summer blockbuster celebrates its 30th anniversary, we’re looking back on an alien disaster film that scared young Trace (thanks to that alien autopsy scene) and turned Will Smith into a star.
Plus: the death that upsets the most; bemoaning Vivica A. Fox’s career; pondering what could have been with the casting; why Smith’s bravado and the film’s patriotism doesn’t always work for Joe; and plenty of riffing on the atrocious sequel.
Cross out Independence Day!
