MYSTERY: The Televangelist Bombings
In this episode, we dive into the bizarre and still-unsolved 1990 mail bombings that targeted two of the biggest names in televangelism — John Osteen of Lakewood Church and Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network. We explore the rise of televangelism, the attacks that nearly claimed lives, the FBI investigation, and the internet’s favorite theory about who was really behind it all.
