Meadow was only a baby when she lost both of her hind legs to frostbite. She could have so easily succumbed to her injuries, and most people wouldn't have even thought to give her a chance. But she was lucky enough to be rescued by some incredibly kind humans, who took her in and gave her a second chance at life. But can a cow with such a severe disability live an enjoyable life? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out! 🤭

Because of that, these early episodes are not indictive of the show's current quality - both in terms of the equipment used and my own skills as a writer & presenter - so apologies for that!

In his lifetime, Shergar the most famous and successful racehorse in the world - so when he was stolen from his stable by a group of masked men armed with machine guns, it naturally sent shockwaves through the equestrian world. In the more than forty years since his abduction, no trace of Shergar has ever been found, and no one has been brought to justice for their role in his theft and presumed killing, and his story has become one of the most infamous unsolved true crime cases in Ireland and the UK.

We may never know the truth about what happened to Shergar, but in the decades since clues have begun to emerge, and they point to a story much darker than a mere case of horse theft. This is a tale of fame, tragedy, and terrorists. Actual, literal terrorists. It's a fascinating and heart-breaking story, and you might want to check out the content warnings in the show notes before you tune in this week!

Oh, you think normal yellowjacket wasps are creepy? Just you wait until you learn about dementor wasps! These guys don't just sting - oh, no, they inject cockroaches with a mind-altering toxin that turns them into actual literal zombies... and things only get worse from there. Don't say I didn't warn you!
