horrible history

Elizabeth Bathory & Queen Ranavalona.  Aah the royal misfits of the past. It’s funny how power can drive people to completely disconnect themselves from humanity. Well this week it gets a bit brutal, we chat about some crazy royal pains, that did a number on their people.

It's a big one, guys.  For our silver anniversary of episodes, both Emily and Rachel are heading to New Jersey. First, Emily covers the Hindenburg disaster of 1937 (which has nothing to do with the Lindbergh baby and everything to do with baby grand pianos). Then, drumroll please, Rachel tells the frequently referenced story of John List / Bob Clark - who seems like the most boring human alive, but is really a vanishing family annihilator. Hopefully, you're horrified.
