Narratives are given dramatic readings by 'Mrs. Karswell' (Sarah Chavez) backed by richly produced soundscapes blending original music, sound design and effects. The source books, though real enough, are said to be pulled from an imaginary library on Ridenour's imaginary estate situated somewhere in the neighborhood of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey. Each episode begins with our hosts briefly discussing goings-on in this world before diving into the topic to be explored. Occasional alternate-format episodes are devoted to readings of classic horror stories or curious texts of antiquarian interest. Ridenour is the author of 'The Krampus and the Old, Dark Christmas' (2016) and 'A Season of Madness: Fools, Monsters, and Marvels of the Old-World Carnival' (Jan. 2025). Sarah Chavez produced the podcast 'The Cabinet of Curiosities' (2011-2012) and contributed to 'Death in the Afternoon' (2018-2023). more

Seit Anbeginn seiner Geschichte stiehlt, raubt und mordet der Mensch. Tötet aus Hab- und Machtgier, um seiner Ehre willen, aus sadistischer Lust - und manchmal schlicht, um selbst zu überleben. In 'Verbrechen der Vergangenheit', dem Crime-Podcast von GEO EPOCHE, widmen wir uns Taten, die noch heute erschrecken und berühren. Präsentiert als packende Zeitreisen ohne Staub und Zahlenkolonnen, akribisch recherchiert und sachkundig erläutert von Mitarbeitern der Redaktion. Unter anderem tauchen wir ein in die Elendsviertel Londons, wo um 1830 skrupellose Leichenverkäufer ihr Unwesen treiben. Wir begeben uns auf die Spuren legendenumwobener Verbrecher wie Pablo Escobar, reisen zu den Grabräubern im Alten Ägypten - und begegnen dem vielleicht schlimmsten Serienmörder aller Zeiten.
