THE RISE AND FALL OF CRYSTAL PEPSI: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the rise and fall of Crystal Pepsi?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) finds out who’s to blame for the 90’s soda flop, Crystal Pepsi. Clear in color and not quite Pepsi in flavor, this short lived fad still lives on in the hearts and minds of a particular generation. Billed as a lighter tasting healthy-ish version of regular Pepsi-cola, were the Executives at Pepsi-Cola chasing the diet fads of the time? Perhaps rushing the product to market in time for the Superbowl without sufficient testing is to blame. And who knew sunlight could have such a profound effect on the taste of clear soda?!Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.Join our Patreon!Tell us who you think is to blame at http://thealarmistpodcast.comEmail us at thealarmistpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram @thealarmistpodcastFollow us on TikTok @thealarmistpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist.

THE TRAGIC STORY OF ADÈLE HUGO: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the tragic story of Adèle Hugo?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) covers the story of Adèle Hugo, a tragic story of unrequited love and mental decline. Daughter of the famous writer Victor Hugo, described as more interested in public affairs than his nearest and dearest, did being the child of a star lead to her demise? Was Adèle experiencing an extreme case of Limerence, a term uncoined at the time? Or perhaps it was her own unrealistic expectations of love that’s to blame.

GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY OF 1963: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Great Train Robbery of 1963?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) tackles the Great Train Robbery of 1963 with Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early. Like something straight out of a movie, which it later became (and a miniseries), this dramatic heist resulted in the theft of over 2.6 million pounds in just 15 minutes. All from an overnight mail train with a lot of money and very little security. Was this the work of a post officer insider? Could out of service security carriages be to blame? Or perhaps this is what happens when two powerful gangs combine to plan the ultimate robbery!Join our Patreon!Tell us who you think is to blame at http://thealarmistpodcast.comEmail us at thealarmistpodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram @thealarmistpodcastFollow us on TikTok @thealarmistpodcastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist.

DEATH OF SOCRATES: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Who’s to blame for the Death of Socrates?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) decides who’s to blame for the death of perhaps the most famous philosopher of all time, Socrates. With Athens in post-war political turmoil and a people with a strong deference to the will of the Gods, is it any wonder his “Gadfly Style” of questioning authority rubbed some Athenians the wrong way? Did The Oracle at Delphi proclaiming there was no wiser man than Socrates contribute to his eventual conviction? Or perhaps this was simply the will of the Gods!

Jen Curran to discuss the Affair of the Poisons which ultimately led to the execution of the French “wise woman” La Voisin.
