Strange Country Ep. 8: The Beales

Kelly and Beth have another story, an homage to hoarders, of a family who can't quite bring themselves to cleaning up a damn thing. And it smells...bad. Join us for the story of Grey Gardens and the Beale family. It's a mother-daughter story that literally goes from the dream life on the Hampton Coast to dinners made and eaten in single beds, feces of all sorts piling up, and Strange Country details that are sure to intrigue. Will Kelly and Beth get the vacation of a lifetime at the Beale House? Stay tuned and keep listening to Strange Country. We love you, readers, and listeners!

Strange Country Ep. 2: The Collyer Brothers

If you don't know what it means to enter into a Collyer Mansion, you will now. Listen as we explore the sad, twisted story of two brothers in New York City who literally couldn't find their way out of a paper bag-they just kept stuffing it with newspapers, baby carriages, bones, and more. Co-hosts Beth and Kelly explore this tale from the 1940's, as well as the real parental fear of when your own child starts to show hoarder tendencies, and when their teachers support the habit.
