Whoâs to blame for the Case of Maria Barbella?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Mo Fry Pasic, host of the podcast Worse Than You, to discuss the troubling case of Maria Barbella. She may have escaped the electric chair, but her story electrified the world. Did Mariaâs status as a non-english speaking Italian immigrant and her unbiased, all male jury of âpeersâ create any difficulties for the initial verdict? Did Lazy Translating during the trail have something to do with it? And why wasnât there more reporting on the ongoing sexual and physical abuse Maria had to endure? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Whoâs to blame for the Italian Hall Disaster?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with comedian, gamer and late-night writer Mike Drucker about the Italian Hall Disaster in Calumet, MI on Christmas Eve 1913. Was this horrible accident, which took the lives of 73 people (mostly children), merely an accident or was there something more sinister at play? Did a mining company's monopoly over the town lead to dangerously high tensions? And when and why did it become a crime to yell fire in a crowded room when there is no fire? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Whoâs to blame for the Thorpe Affair Scandal?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes comedian Kiki Andersen to discuss British political icon Jeremy Thorpe, his taboo love affair (at the time) and the very salacious political scandal that ensued. Was the idea of political âperfectionâ the problem here? Did a societal fixation on the traditional family structure have something to do with it? Or maybe good old fashioned homophobia is to blame for this one. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. RIP Rinka the great dane.

Whoâs to blame for the 1981 Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes fellow podcaster Mangesh Hattikudur, host of Part-Time Genius, to discuss the haunting collapse of multiple walkways inside a Hyatt Regency in Kansas City, Missouri circa 1981. Were 3 indoor walkways an architectural triumph or just architectural hubris? Could a mid-construction engineer change of the guard be to blame? Or maybe a good old fashion communication failure was to blame. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
