"Disturb Me" is the podcast where husband-and-wife duo Chris and Meghan surprise each other with chilling true crime cases, eerie paranormal encounters, and baffling unsolved mysteries. Neither knows what unsettling tale the other will tell—only that their goal is to disturb each other...and you. Join them each week and see who gets creeped out first!
A Doomsday Cult & A Killer Machine | Ant Hill Kids vs. Therac-25
A husband and wife take turns telling each other the most disturbing true stories they can find—and YOU decide who wins. This week: one horror was man-made by hand, the other by code.
First Chris tells us about the Therac-25, a radiation therapy machine meant to save cancer patients. Between 1985 and 1987, at least six patients were overdosed with radiation up to 100 times the intended amount, and three of them died—all because of a race condition buried in the software. No cult. No knife. Just a keystroke entered too fast and a machine that swore everything was fine.
Then Meg takes us deep into the Quebec wilderness and the Ant Hill Kids—the doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed prophet Roch Thériault, who convinced dozens of followers to abandon everything and wait for the end of the world. What began as a self-sufficient commune became one of the most disturbing chapters in Canadian history, spiraling into torture, mutilation, and murder inside the trees.
A cult that devoured its own vs. a machine that killed by mistake. Which one crawls further under your skin? That's up to you.

Vanished & Violent: The Sodder Children & the Molalla Forest Murders
This week on Disturb Me, the gloves are off. One of us digs into the Sodder children—the five kids who vanished from their West Virginia home on Christmas Eve 1945 after a mysterious fire, leaving behind no bodies, no answers, and a grieving family who never stopped searching. The other heads west to Oregon's Molalla Forest, where a string of murders turned a quiet stretch of woods into one of the state's darkest crime scenes.
A missing-children mystery with no closure versus a body count with no mercy. We tell, we torment, and we try to out-creep each other—but this time, you decide who did it best. Listen, then cast your vote for who deserves the win.
Fair warning: sleep may be optional after this one.

Manipulated and Trapped: The Horrors of Junko Furuta & Cynthia Hoffman
In this deeply unsettling episode of Disturb Me, Chris and Meg confront two of the most heartbreaking and disturbing true crime cases in modern history.
First, they revisit the unbearable story of Junko Furuta, a Japanese high school student whose kidnapping and prolonged torture shocked the world and exposed devastating gaps in the justice system.

Behind Closed Doors
In this episode of Disturb Me, Chris and Meg trade two stories that prove reality can be far more terrifying than fiction.
Chris dives into the horrifying life of Albert Fish, a serial killer and cannibal whose crimes shocked early 20th-century New York.
Meg counters with the eerie unsolved case of the Hinterkaifeck murders, where an entire family was slaughtered on their remote German farm, leaving a mystery that still lingers today.
Together, these stories reveal how horror often hides in plain sight — in quiet houses, in ordinary lives, and in the shadows of history.
