• 185 Dana Sue Gray: Greedy Granny Killer 21.06.2026 1h 26min

  In the second installment of the Lethal Ladies Binge, we are covering Dana Sue Gray. A very vicious serial killer who was more vicious than probably a third of the men we’ve covered on this show. She was entitled since the day she was born, and her sole reason for existence was to live large...at someone else’s expense. One day, she got the idea that if she killed rich old ladies, she could rob them and fund her lifestyle. But, she’s also our favorite type of serial killer. An idiot.Contact the show at⁠ckcbpodcast@gmail.com⁠History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCB links:⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠
• 184 Leonarda Cianciulli: The Soapmaker of Correggio 16.06.2026 1h 42min

  Tonight, Kevin takes the lead, and tells us the story of Leonarda Cianciulli. From birth, she stood no chance. Her mother hated her from birth, and it just gets worse. She got into witchcraft, and because of a prophecy by a fortune teller, saying she’d outlive all her kids, she got busy learning the trade, and decided that the curse would not come true. When her son joined the army and went into WW2, she decided that human sacrifice would keep him alive. She killed at least 3 women, probably more, and used their body renderings to make soap and pastries. She, and quite a few unsuspecting people ate the pastries and used the soap...But, her son survived WW2…Join us!Contact the show at⁠ckcbpodcast@gmail.com⁠History Goon links: https://www.facebook.com/groups/historygoonhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9d7is-xxGztCVrlezdRL-ACKCA links:⁠https://www.instagram.com/crimeskillerscultsandbeer/⁠⁠https://twitter.com/CKC_Beer⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUyuqDB2Dlszhpc_pGca29w⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/257328477392782/⁠

  On this episode, we are covering a criminal mastermind of the worst kind...No. We’re covering a complete and total moron named Stephen Port. A gay British serial killer, who preyed on young gay men, and couldn’t keep his story straight if his life depended on it. He killed 4 men, and his story changed repeatedly. But the real bafoonery here is the police. Port was practically serving himself up to police on a platter, and the police couldn’t have cared less. He was literally on an episode of Master Chef the day after killing a victim.

What they didn’t tell everyone was that they also believed in faith healing, and child abuse, while milking their followers of every red cent they had to their name, and making the followers believe that the crimes they committed at their direction were their own ideas.
