13 O’Clock Episode 343 LIVE: Televangelist Scandals

17 Mar 202317 Mar 2023 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The 1980s, it seemed, were the peak decade for scandals involving various televangelists, with all the heavy hitters of the era–Oral Roberts, Robert Tilton, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker–becoming embroiled in various shenanigans, most of which involved the televangelists themselves engaging in behavior that they actually preached against, thereby revealing themselves as unmitigated hypocrites. On this wild and crazy episode, Tom and Jenny delve into three famous televangelist scandals, including those of Ted Haggard, who vocally opposed gay marriage despite having relations with a male masseur and also taking crystal meth; Jimmy Swaggart, whose holier-than-thou demeanor was somewhat undercut by him being caught with prostitutes; and the infamous Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, who were involved in various forms of fraud, on top of Jim engaging in a great deal of sexual misconduct. Cue the hallelujahs and dig out your checkbooks, we’re about to dive into some hypocritical hullabaloo on this spiritually bankrupt installment of 13 O’Clock.

13 O’Clock Episode 342 LIVE: The Many Faces of Billy Milligan

10 Mar 202310 Mar 2023 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Billy Milligan, otherwise known as The Campus Rapist, committed a series of at least three sexual assaults in the 1970s, and is further suspected of at least two later murders. His case is especially notable, however, because after he was caught, he became the first person to use his diagnosis of multiple personality disorder–now known as dissociative identity disorder–to argue successfully that two of his alternate personalities committed the crimes without the “core” personality being aware of it. Milligan would spend over a decade in various psychiatric hospitals before his release in 1991, and would eventually become the inspiration for M. Night Shyamalan’s 2016 film Split, as well as the subject of the four-part, 2021 Netflix documentary series, Monsters Inside: The 24 Faces of Billy Milligan.

13 O’Clock Episode 341 LIVE: The Mysterious Disappearance of Louis Le Prince

3 Mar 20233 Mar 2023 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Somewhat forgotten French artist Louis Le Prince may not be a household name nowadays, but his contribution to world culture is undeniably massive: he is thought to be the first person to have captured a moving picture on film, and is thus known in film history circles as “The Father of Cinematography.” This would obviously be enough to cement his legacy all by itself, but the man seems better known today for his mysterious disappearance after boarding a train for Paris in 1890, a vanishing act that is still unsolved more than a century later. The reasons for his disappearance range from suicide to fratricide to an assassination attempt by someone paid by none other than Thomas Edison, as Edison did indeed patent a moving picture camera of his own, claiming to have invented it, not long after Le Prince went missing. Rewind the projector to the earliest days of moviemaking and double-dealing on this eerie installment of 13 O’Clock.

13 O’Clock Episode 340 LIVE: People Who Survived Horrific Events

23 Feb 202323 Feb 2023 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

There’s something fascinating to us about people who have experienced the most horrific, unimaginable events and lived to tell the tale. On this terrifying but grimly inspiring episode, Tom and Jenny discuss three cases of people who survived seemingly impossible ordeals, such as famed “sea orphan” Terry Jo Duperrault, who was eleven years old when she survived 84 hours alone at sea after the murder of her entire family; Juliane Koepcke, who fell 10,000 feet from a disintegrating plane into the middle of the dense Peruvian jungle where she endured another eleven days before being found; and Mary Vincent, who survived being raped and having her arms cut off by a brutal killer.

13 O’Clock Episode 339 LIVE: Rodney Alcala, The Dating Game Killer

16 Feb 202316 Feb 2023 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Back in 1978, a dude appeared as an eligible bachelor on the popular TV show The Dating Game; he was described as a “successful photographer” who also enjoyed motorcycling and skydiving. He actually won a date with that episode’s bachelorette, but she later refused to go through with the date, admitting she found him creepy. And boy, did she hit that nail right on the head, because it turns out that the guy happened to be Rodney Alcala, a serial killer who would ultimately be convicted of eight murders and be suspected in more than a hundred more. Join Tom and Jenny as they break down the case of this butchering bachelor on a deadly date of an episode 339.

Settle in with your heart-shaped candy box and your pink champagne while we regale you with tales of love gone horribly, horribly wrong on the poisonous valentine known as episode 338.

13 O’Clock Episode 332 LIVE: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing

29 Dec 202229 Dec 2022 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Timothy McVeigh was an American domestic terrorist who carried out the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995. The explosion, which killed 168 people, was the deadliest terrorist incident on U.S. soil, until the September 11 attacks in 2001. McVeigh, a decorated Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War, had launched his own private war on the U.S. government, claiming that the bombing was retaliation for the sieges at Waco and Ruby Ridge. Join Tom and Jenny on another conspiratorial and horrific journey down the rabbit hole of home-grown extremism on episode 322.

13 O’Clock Episode 327 LIVE: Scientology and the Death of Lisa McPherson

24 Nov 202224 Nov 2022 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Back in 1995, a young woman named Lisa McPherson, who had been a member of the Church of Scientology since 1977, was involved in a minor car accident in Clearwater, Florida. She seemed unharmed, but then began acting strangely, removing her clothing in the middle of the street, at which point paramedics took her to the hospital. Shortly afterward, though, representatives of Scientology arrived and took her to their base at the Fort Harrison Hotel to treat her using their own methods, which consisted mainly of something called an Introspection Rundown. Seventeen days later, she was dead. The controversy surrounding Lisa’s death drew a great deal of negative attention toward Scientology, and resulted in several lawsuits. On today’s cult-like installment, Tom and Jenny talk about the tragic case and delve into how much responsibility Scientology had for what happened to Lisa McPherson.
