What is it really like to be a real-life vampire?

In this episode of The StickyBeak, I sit down with Madame X, a self-identifying vampire, to explore a world that most of us know only through folklore, horror films and pop culture.

Who are the people who identify as vampires? What does being a vampire actually mean in modern life? And what might surprise us about a community that exists far beyond the stories we see on screen?

This is a fascinating conversation that challenged my assumptions and taught me a lot.

If you've ever been curious about real-life vampires, human blood drinking or the people behind one of the world's most intriguing subcultures, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Thank you so much to Madame X for taking the time. You can keep up to date with all her news here:

The 27 Club has fascinated the world for decades.

Why did icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and Brian Jones all die at 27? Coincidence — or something more?

In this episode, we unpack the origins of the 27 Club and separate fact from folklore. From the white lighter myth to Saturn return astrology, from crossroads legends to Illuminati and ritual sacrifice claims — where did these theories come from, and do they hold up?

We also explore the role of fame, addiction, industry pressure and the psychology behind why we’re so drawn to this number.

Is the 27 Club real — or is it a story we’ve built around tragedy?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

Crop circles have appeared overnight for decades — vast geometric patterns pressed into fields, from rural England to regional Australia. Perfect spirals. Massive fractals. Designs so precise they seem almost impossible.

Are they proof of alien life? Elaborate hoaxes? Or something far more human?

In this episode of The StickyBeak, Mon explores the UFO sightings, the famous Stonehenge formation that stunned the world, and the quiet confessions that changed everything.

Because even if crop circles are made by human hands… the mystery surrounding them refuses to disappear.

Aliens, hoaxers, mass belief — and the enduring question: are we alone?
