Episode 53: Do Better, Everyone.
Alison Botha + Betty and Barney Hill
In this episode, we’re telling two stories that couldn’t be more different — and yet somehow feel eerily connected.
Colleen covers the survival story of Alison Botha, a woman who endured one of the most brutal attacks in South African history and lived to tell the story. What happened to Alison is horrifying, heartbreaking, and impossible to forget — but her survival is a testament to resilience, memory, and the will to live when everything says you shouldn’t.
Tayler explores the infamous alien abduction case of Betty and Barney Hill — a story that shaped modern UFO lore and raised uncomfortable questions about belief, fear, and how society treats people who experience the unexplainable.
Together, these cases reveal something deeper than crime or conspiracy: the ways systems fail victims, the way truth gets doubted, and the cost of not listening when it matters most.
This episode isn’t just about survival or starships.
It’s about accountability.
It’s about belief.
It’s about the quiet, devastating truth that sometimes the world needs to do better.
🎙️ Topics covered: true crime, survivor stories, alien abductions, justice systems, trauma, resilience, and the legacy of Betty and Barney Hill.
