Do you take long road trips and need something else other than the 17 songs that you play on repeat? Do you have a weird interest in serial killers, conspiracy theories, and unsolved murders? Then turn off your Tim Ferriss podcast, (no offense Tim, I love the heck out of your content) and turn on "My Favorite Murder."

"My Favorite Murder" podcast is a true crime comedy podcast that is hosted by America comedians Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark which started in January 2016 and has only got weirder and better since.

This podcast has debuted as number 25 on the iTunes podcast charts and eventually reached number three on April 27, 2018. They have hundreds of episodes to choose from, but there are some that are a MUST listen.

1. Episode 137: Gloogle

This is my personal favorite because of how eerie I felt when listening to this. It's about a man that hides in this girl's house and stalks them while living inside the walls. He plays tricks on them, writes creepy messages on the wall, and basically makes them think that they are going insane themselves. I recommend listening to this when driving at night to make the experience 10x scarier.

2. Episode 10: Murderous TENdencies

If you are a squeamish person, I don't recommend you listening to this one because it's pretty disturbing. It's about Richard Chase, also known as the Vampire of Sacramento who would often drink his victim's blood after killing them, and did other various acts that were inhumane.

3. Episode 150: How Dare You Kelli

Karen and Georgia cover the hanging of Alice Riley and the murder of Reyna Marroquín. They go into detail about how Alice is the first woman ever hung in Georgia. Shortly after she gave birth, she was executed, and apparently, her ghost still lingers the area and multiple sources have seen her.

4. Episode 136: The Uninhibited

In this week's episode, Karen and Georgia uncover the frightening murder of the well-known New York architect, Stanford White. He was brutally murdered on the roof garden of Madison Square Garden, a building that was one of his greatest achievements.

5. Episode 130: Mike Is Right

I also personally enjoyed this episode because this story was mentioned in American Story Horror Coven (watch ASAP if you haven't watched already. Karen and Georgia explain the execution of Czar Nicholas II and his family, which ended the three-century-old Romanov dynasty.

These are just a handful of the hundreds of episodes that Karen and Georgia explain in their witty and comedic ways. I feel like after you listen to these episodes you will be hooked right away, and "My Favorite Murder" will be your new favorite podcast to listen to.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
