Rewind with Karen & Georgia - 94: Go Get Your Thing

In this nostalgic rewind of their 94th episode, 'Go Get Your Thing,' Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark revisit a pivotal moment in their podcasting journey, reflecting on their early days, evolving dynamic, and the cultural impact of their work—complete with humorous anecdotes about Fred Savage, a fan-made serial killer version of Guess Who?, and the viral fame of their theme song. They delve into two chilling true crime cases: the 19th-century Bloody Benders, a family of killers who preyed on travelers in Kansas, and the Morehouse murders, a harrowing 1980s Australian case involving David and Catherine Burney, a murderous couple who kidnapped, raped, and killed multiple women. The hosts explore the psychological manipulation, the hidden resistance of survivors, and the disturbing normalization of evil in seemingly ordinary people, drawing parallels to Ted Bundy while emphasizing the unique horror of shared criminal pathology. They highlight the critical role of physical evidence—like the Rambo VHS and Dire Straits cassette—in validating Catherine Burney’s testimony and securing convictions, and reflect on the lasting trauma inflicted on victims’ families and the systemic failures in addressing missing Indigenous women, as poignantly illustrated in the film 'Wind River'. The episode closes with a warm, self-aware farewell, celebrating their growth, the power of community, and the importance of trusting one’s instincts, all wrapped in their signature blend of dark humor and heartfelt connection.
