Why did Chernobyl cost BILLIONS to fix? What Is China Syndrome? Who Were the Liquidators? And What is The Elephants Foot? In April 1986, the world changed when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened. When two explosions ruptured reactor 4, spewing out deadly radiation, the clean up had to happen FAST. But who went to save the day, how did they work under such harsh conditions and did they have a say in the matter? Find out the answers to all those questions and more as Nikki and Cheryl delve into the heart of reactor four to learn about the literal fallout of the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster.

On a dull morning in 1986, some workers in Stockholm, Sweden, were getting ready for a normal day inside the nuclear power plant they worked in but that would soon change. Not long after the start of the day, one worker found that the geiger counters they had to pass before entering the unit went off, suggesting that they were radioactive.After testing and retesting the machine for faults, the workers realised they were telling the truth, one of the workers had high levels of radiation upon them.After a scramble in the power plant to find if there was a leak, they realised all was well...but if the radiation wasn't coming from their power plant, where was it coming from? It seemed the radiation was drifting over from a little town called Pripyat in Ukraine and yet no one had told the world that this disaster was going to have long lasting effects and even death...Welcome to Killers, Cults & QueensToday, Cheryl & Nikki are exploring the case of the Chernobyl nuclear disasterIf you’re interested in more true crime deep dives, hit subscribe and ring the bell to stay updated.HUGE thanks goes to SNAG for sponsoring this series.

Well guess what, it's a sweet reunion - but instead of Jamaica and Spain - we're headed back to Brooklyn to meet the person who first inrotuduced the Linda Napolitano story to Nikki when she was on honeymoon in New York - it's Tyler the tour guide from Madame Morbids Trolley tours, the numer one rated ghost tour in the whole of NYC and if that ain't saying something then you obviously don't know your cannolis! Join us for a deep dive into Linda's story from someone who knows it back to front and has often floated past the Brooklyn Bridge ( well, with slightly more bumps on those cobble stones) inside a victorian style trolley ( a mini bus to us Brits but far more vintage and cool). Settle down and strap in because Tyler is taking us on a trip around Brooklyn sharing his favourite stories and some of his own personal spooky tales. You can check out Tyler on Youtube @TylerTheVampireslayerot a theory? Been lost in a rabbit hole?

Linda's home was invaded by not one, but three creatures she would later recall as aliens. They floated her out of her window and into the night sky. But Linda wasn't alone that night, she was being watched. As Linda was floating through the night sky, two security guards were watching her and in that moment, they knew they had to find this woman but what would happen next became one of the weirdest tales to happen in Brooklyns history. Was this a government cover-up, were these the men in black and would Linda get away with her life? ...Welcome to Killers, Cults and Queens…Today Cheryl and Nikki explore the wild story of Linda Napolitano and the Brooklyn Bridge Alien Abduction.
