About this listen
Welcome back to The Cold Spot Confessions! This week, we intended to have a serious look at "The Wickedest Man in the World," but honestly? The wheels fell off almost immediately.
We start with the dark and twisted life of occultist Aleister Crowley. We take a tour through his infamous "Chamber of Nightmares," which we quickly realize sounds way too much like a knock-off Harry Potter book. This leads to a caffeine (and hormone) fueled theory about Harry fighting a very different kind of "basilisk" than the one in the movies.
Speaking of fighting urges, we dive into the bizarre history of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Did you know they were originally invented to stop teenage boys from... well, "self-soothing"? It’s a historical deep dive that sends us into an absolute laughing fit.
From Crowley being the human personification of Coco Pops to the Kellogg's man's war on "trouser snakes," this is easily our most unhinged episode yet. We try our best to lift the mood, and boy, did we succeed.
Tune in for occultism, cereal secrets, and more laughter than we can legally handle!
Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!
