13 O’Clock Episode 422: Former FBI Agent and Conspiracy Theorist Ted Gunderson

19 Sep 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Ted Gunderson was a former FBI agent who became a prominent conspiracy theorist after retiring from the bureau. He served in the FBI for nearly three decades, holding senior positions, including Special Agent in Charge of the Los Angeles office. After his retirement in 1979, Gunderson began promoting a variety of conspiracy theories, claiming knowledge of secret government programs, satanic cults, child abduction rings, and covert activities by shadowy organizations. His controversial assertions, often lacking evidence, gained him a following among conspiracy enthusiasts. Despite his FBI background, his later years were marked by increasing skepticism and criticism from mainstream sources.

13 O’Clock Episode 248 LIVE: The Satanic Panic Revisited

15 May 2021 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Starting in the late 1960s and continuing through the early 1990s and beyond, some segments of the population took to seeing the Devil around every corner, attributing Satanic meanings to things as innocuous as Saturday morning cartoons and children’s toys, Dungeons and Dragons, and rock music, but also fostering a devastating moral panic about ritual abuse of children which was largely fictional, but resulted in prison time and ruined reputations for some unfortunate victims. What were the underlying causes behind the so-called Satanic Panic, and what led to its spread to all sectors of the mainstream culture in the 1980s? Tom and Jenny talk about various aspects of the moral hysteria, covering everything from the fun stuff (Chick tracts, evil Smurfs) to the horrific miscarriages of justice (the McMartin Preschool Trial and more). Give a horned hand salute in tribute to this live episode 248.

13 O’Clock 199: The West Memphis Three

9 Jun 20209 Jun 2020 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On this installment of 13 O’Clock, Tom and Jenny delve into the infamous case of the West Memphis Three. In early May of 1993, a trio of eight-year-old boys — Steve Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers — were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, and almost from the moment the bodies were discovered, townsfolk and law enforcement were pretty sure who was responsible: three teenage boys who were supposedly into Satanic and occult practices. The three teens — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley — were convicted of the crimes, but doubt about their guilt lingered, as there was little to no physical evidence tying them to the murders and ample evidence that Satanic Panic and alleged police misconduct were factors in the convictions. Settle in for a tale of child murder, occult hysteria, and miscarriage of justice on an infuriating episode 199.
