Joseph Cosey / Nasubi
Welcome to Wednesday, Queerdos! We've got two doozies for your ears this week. First, in our True Crime Story, Edie tells us about a guy who was as good at drinking as he was at forging: Joseph Cosey. Or Frank Thompson. Or John Martin. Or Martin Coneely. Next, in our Spoopy Tale, Miss brings us one of the scariest stories we've heard yet, about a man on a reality show. So sharpen your pencils, smile for the camera, and get ready for this week's show. Let's dive in!
