7/12/2025: On today’s episode, Valerie recounts the story of a macabre scandal that shocked Georgian Era Liverpool when a devastating discovery was made after examining three foul-smelling 42 gallon casks that had been left the night before at George’s Dock. That discovery led to another, even more horrific discovery in the cellar of a boy’s school run by a local reverend, and a manhunt for the suspected gang of five ensued. This story is so 1800s it hurts! Next, Amy Jo’s Zodiac Back covers Uranus in Gemini, the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the US Chiron return, which is both an asteroid and a comet, we look at the charts of Jefferson Davis and Stephen Foster, and touch on the Carrington Event. Yikes!
