Few things in life are as timeless as the music of The Beach Boys. They had a magical combination of soaring harmonies and an unepected level of technical sophistication coupled with the constantly-evolving talents of their once-undisputed leader Brian Wilson.  What happened to Wilson when the pressure got to be too much is what we're talking about this week.   

This week, we'll tackle a true rags to riches story: Charles Ponzi.

The case of the West Memphis Three might be the last gasp of the satanic panic that gripped America a couple decades ago.

Jonestown, Guyana. A 3,500 acre commune in the middle of a jungle, was supposed to be a socialist paradise on earth for Jim Jones and his many followers.
