The Devil Within

The Track That Ate Him

Vancouver 2010 → Haunted Host Cities → Italy Adjacency

In 2010, the Winter Olympics arrived in Vancouver polished to a mirror shine — perfect lighting,

perfect branding, perfect spectacle.

And then, before the Opening Ceremony even began… the world watched a young man die.

Episode Two is where the story becomes modern horror: Vancouver 2010, Whistler Sliding

Centre, one luge run at nearly unthinkable speed — and one moment that turned Olympic

infrastructure into a permanent ghost.

But this episode isn’t only about what happened on camera.It’s about what happens to places after tragedy — how host cities become haunted, how tracks

become shrines, how mountains remember what humans try to forget. And finally, we widen the

lens toward Italy: the quieter, untelevised side of the Olympic dream — where ambition can still

end behind closed doors, long before the world is watching.

Because winter doesn’t care about the Olympics.

Winter only cares what it can take.

In this episode:

• Vancouver 2010: the day the Olympics lost its innocence in real time

• Why “fixes” made after tragedy carry a darker implication: if it could change after… why

not before?

• How modern media turns death into replay — and replay into haunting

• The hidden psychology of haunted host cities

• The unsettling adjacency truth: not all Olympic tragedies happen on television

Listener warning:

This episode contains discussions of accidental death during Olympic training and death-related

themes.

The Games of Ice

Innsbruck 1964 → Albertville 1992

The Winter Olympics are marketed as triumph — humanity’s most elegant rebellion against cold,

gravity, and fear. But long before the medals… before the fireworks… before the world even

begins clapping — winter is already collecting its price.

In Episode One of this two-part Devil Within series, we descend into the hidden history of

Olympic tragedy — starting with Innsbruck, 1964, where two athletes died before the Opening

Ceremony even began, and moving forward to Albertville, 1992, where modernity itself

became the killer: a collision not with a mountain… but with the machinery designed to tame it.

This episode isn’t about gore. It isn’t even about blame.

It’s about the human condition — what happens when ambition meets physics, when spectacle

meets reality, and when a celebration quietly becomes a grave.

Because the devil within isn’t always evil.Sometimes… it’s certainty.

In this episode:

• Why winter sports are the purest form of “beautiful danger”

• Innsbruck 1964: the Games begin in tragedy before they begin in ceremony

• How grief gets packaged, polished, and pushed aside so the machine can keep moving

• Albertville 1992: the terrifying moment the Olympics becomes a system — and systems

fail

• The quiet truth Olympic branding never says out loud: winter is not scenery

Listener warning:

This episode contains discussions of accidental death during Olympic training and preparation.

April's Shadow :

“The Balcony in Memphis”

In Episode One of this two-part Ides of April event series, we step into Memphis, 1968—not as a footnote in civil rights history, but as a pressure cooker where the fight for equality evolves into something even more threatening to power: economic justice.

Martin Luther King Jr. comes to Memphis to support the sanitation workers’ strike, sparked by the horrific deaths of Echol Cole and Robert Walker, and fueled by a single, uncompromising demand—human dignity—carried through the streets on signs that read: I AM A MAN.

As King’s mission expands from civil rights leader into a broader advocate for labor and class justice, the atmosphere darkens and the stakes intensify. Memphis becomes a mirror reflecting America’s deepest fear: that justice may require redistribution—not just of rights, but of power.

The episode moves into the prophetic gravity of King’s final night. At Mason Temple, he delivers the iconic “Mountaintop” speech—part sermon, part warning—before returning to the Lorraine Motel. The next day, a moment of ordinary life becomes a national rupture: 6:01 PM on the balcony outside Room 306.

And in the hour after his death, America ignites—grief spilling into unrest and reckoning—while the machinery of investigation begins turning, hunting for a suspect as the country struggles to make meaning out of the impossible.

In this episode

    •    Why Memphis became the inevitable battleground in 1968

    •    The sanitation strike, labor, and the radical power of I AM A MAN

    •    King’s evolution into a leader focused on class justice

    •    The “Mountaintop” speech and the calm before catastrophe

    •    The assassination, the aftermath, and the beginning of the manhunt

THE DEVIL’S LEDGER

Week of January 26 — Blizzard Stories, History’s Turning Points, and Hard Truths

This week on The Devil’s Ledger, winter takes center stage — both outside our windows and inside the stories we’re telling.

We open by acknowledging the massive snowstorm that’s crippled much of the country, especially the Northeast, and how winter has a way of shrinking the world and amplifying the dark.

❄️ The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week comes straight out of a blizzard — a terrifying story that proves when visibility drops and isolation rises, the line between survival and disappearance gets dangerously thin.

🏔️ Over on The Devil Within, in honor of the upcoming Winter Olympics, we launch a two-part series exploring the darker side of the Winter Games — the training deaths, the tragedies tied to host cities, and the sobering truth that winter doesn’t care about spectacle, branding, or medals.

🕊️ On The Ides of April, we begin the long-awaited two-part series covering the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Originally planned for release during the national holiday, the episode was delayed after the flu took out Branden’s voice — but the story arrives with the weight and respect it deserves. This series examines the official narrative and the way one moment in Memphis reshaped a nation.

⚖️ Criminal Mischief brings a major update to Episode 103 — the “Bizarre Love Triangle” Virginia Au Pair case. The trial of Brendan Banfield is underway, and explosive testimony from a former lover is offering a chilling new perspective on the double homicide.

🎙️ On Finding Me with Josh Wolf, Josh takes a deeply personal turn, confronting his five biggest insecurities — one per day, publicly and honestly. It’s still funny (because it’s Josh), but it’s also hitting deeper as he works to become the best version of himself.

🎬 This Week in Horror features a new entry from master filmmaker Sam Raimi. Send Help blends action, suspense, and horror into a tense story about power, reversal, and how extreme situations can expose who we really are — especially in the workplace.

Closing Thought

Winter reminds us how little control we truly have. Storms erase roads, silence cities, and force us to sit with what’s real. Maybe that’s why these stories land harder this time of year — because when the world goes quiet, we hear everything else more clearly.
