Scorecard: Randy Kraft, Part 1 (Ep. 65)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) For more than a decade, freeway killer Randy Kraft preyed on young men and teenage boys across California, Oregon and Michigan, leaving many of their bodies along highways. He was mostly known, however, for his "scorecard". It was a cryptic list of 61 entries investigators came to believe was a victims list. If you've surmised that Randy was the worst, you are absolutely right. Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

J. Harvey Reads Wicked Gay's Fan Mail

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Hello! So, Buzzsprout has this Fan Mail feature that I've been totally ignoring. But some of you have actually used it! So I thought it would be cute to respond to some of your fan mail. Thank you for writing in, and thank you for listening. You guys are the literal best. Note I used the word "literal" to signify I really, really mean it. I'm being sincere here, which is sometimes difficult for me because I know that people hate sincerity, at least they hate public displays of it. See what I do for you?

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) I have a new favorite TV show - AMC’s Interview with the Vampire. Which is interesting, cuz' one of my other favorite tv shows is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And my other favorite is Hannibal. I might be morbid, or I might just have EXCELLENT TASTE IN TELEVISION. Fun game - see if you can guess which portion of this episode I wrote using AI because I had a brief moment where I thought about giving up podcasting so I turned to machine intelligence in desperation to just finish this one.

Welcome to Corpsewood Manor (Ep. 59)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Deep in the Georgia woods, a devil-worshipping (don't be judgey, now) gay couple built a kinky Satanic sex palace and lived off the land. They made their own wine, threw fabulous dinner parties and certain guests experienced the infamous pink room over the chicken coop. Then they made the mistake of befriending a troubled young man who decided they had money to steal. The name of their home? Corpsewood Manor. Tragically fitting.

Closet Crisis: Ed Koch (Ep.58)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Ed Koch was the semi-beloved mayor of New York City from 1977 to 1989. I say semi-beloved because NYC's gay community didn't appreciate how he, as a closeted gay man, was doing the bare minimum when it came to the AIDS pandemic. P.S. You can check out Wicked Gay's very first VIDEO episode on Patreon (link below)! Have I said the music for Wicked Gay is by Pixaby, and the theme song is by Gino and the Goons?

A Cautionary Tale About Methamphetamine: Joseph Banis, Jeffrey Mundt, and Jamie Carroll (Ep. 57)

Send J. Harvey a text! (Try to be nice, but I get it, everyone's a little cranky sometimes...) Don't do meth. Don't do meth. You know meth? Don't do it.I don't care if Mackenzie the coolest girl in school who says you can be in one of her incredibly popular Tik-Toks, maybe even one of the makeup tutorial ones, asks you to do it, don't do meth. I don't care if your trainer says it's "actually a great way to stay in shape, bro, but sssshhh!" Nope to meth. Meth is a non-doable. Meth is a deal-breaker. You think those people on meth PSA posters wanted to be there, displayed at the worst time in their life? No, they're thinking - I really shouldn't have done all that meth. This is the story about a brutal murder that most definitely had a lot to do with methamphetamine. Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!
