Welcome to "The Most Dangerous Podcast," where hosts James and Fraser unravel the most chilling and thought-provoking stories with a careful mix of detailed information and engaging commentary. In this episode, James presents the haunting case of Brenda Spencer, the teenager behind one of the first widely-publicized school shootings in American history.
On January 29, 1979, Brenda Spencer shocked the world when she opened fire on Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, killing two adults and injuring eight children and a police officer. What makes this case even more unsettling is Brenda's chilling justification: "I don't like Mondays." This episode explores the events leading up to the shooting, Brenda's troubled background, and the aftermath of her horrific actions.
Listeners will also discover how this tragic event inspired Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats to write their famous song, "I Don't Like Mondays." The song, which became an international hit, encapsulates the senselessness of the violence and has since become an eerie cultural touchstone linked to the tragedy.
James, along with co-host Fraser, navigates the dark and complex narrative of Brenda Spencer’s life, exploring the psychological and social factors that may have contributed to her actions. They discuss the impact of her crime on the victims, their families, and the broader community, as well as the broader implications for how society handles troubled youth and gun violence in schools.
"The Most Dangerous Podcast" is committed to shedding light on these difficult subjects while providing context and insight, all delivered with the engaging style listeners have come to expect from James and Fraser.

This week Fraser presents the podcast with some stories and theories about the dancing plague. We also have James' dangerous news featuring a penguin post office.
The dancing plague, also known as dancing mania, was a phenomenon that occurred primarily in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods. It was characterized by groups of people dancing uncontrollably and often for extended periods of time, sometimes even to the point of exhaustion or death. The exact cause of the dancing plague remains a topic of debate among historians and scientists, with theories ranging from mass hysteria to ergot poisoning.
One of the most well-known incidents of the dancing plague occurred in the city of Strasbourg in 1518, where a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing in the streets and soon attracted a large crowd of dancers. The phenomenon quickly spread throughout the city, with hundreds of people joining in the frenzied dancing. Authorities attempted to intervene by setting up stages and hiring musicians in an effort to tire out the dancers, but their efforts were largely unsuccessful.
The dancing plague had a profound impact on the communities where it occurred, disrupting daily life and causing widespread fear and confusion. Some believed that the dancers were possessed by demons or under a curse, while others saw it as a form of divine punishment. In some cases, religious authorities were called upon to perform exorcisms or other rituals in an attempt to stop the dancing.
While the dancing plague is now largely considered a historical curiosity, it continues to fascinate researchers and scholars who seek to understand the underlying causes of this bizarre phenomenon. Some have suggested that the dancing plague may have been a form of mass psychogenic illness, in which psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or social tension triggered physical symptoms in a group of people. Others have pointed to the possibility of environmental factors, such as contaminated food or water, playing a role in the outbreaks.
Overall, the dancing plague serves as a reminder of the mysterious and complex nature of human behaviour, and the ways in which social, psychological, and environmental factors can interact to produce unexpected and sometimes inexplicable outcomes.
