Elisa Lam: The Internet’s Mystery, a Woman’s Story
In 2013, a young woman named Elisa Lam checked into the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, and never checked out. Her mysterious disappearance and the viral elevator footage that followed turned a private mentalhealth crisis into a global guessing game.
In this episode, we unpack how Elisa’s story became one of the internet’s first true-crime obsessions ,and what that says about our collective relationship with mystery, voyeurism, and mental health. We trace the Cecil’s dark history, from the glamor of old-Hollywood travelers to its tragic ties to serial killers, and explore how an online army of “sleuths” blurred the line between empathy and exploitation.
TW: This episode contains conversations around mental health struggles, suicide, and rape.

Pocahontas: A Story We Stole
You think you know Pocahontas, but trust us, this is not the story you in history class (or from a raccoon and a willow tree...we do love you though, Meeko). This week, we’re breaking down the real history of Pocahontas, the woman behind the myth. From her kidnapping and forced assimilation to how England turned her into a PR campaign for colonization. Which also brings us to the MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) crisis. Although we can never give a voice back to all of the MMIW, we can change how society values Native American women. That evolution can only begin with the telling of the real story of Pocahontas, the most famous missing Native American woman in history.
