Content warning: this episode discusses suicide, murder and sexual violence.


Poppy tells the dark and mysterious story of the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, a place with a decades-long history of suicides, murders and serial killers. From Elisa Lam’s disappearance and the viral elevator footage to the hotel’s connections to Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger, could the Cecil really be cursed?


Plus, Luke tells a story about some of the world’s wealthiest drivers and their rather unconventional approach to parking tickets.
