  • Love all your stories!

    Great podcast! You do a wonderful job of describing each one of the stories you tell. Would love if you could dig into the Lizzie Borden case as it seems there are still so many questions of this case. She burned her dress due to paint on it and then buried it in the backyard, did anyone dig that up and look at it? Why burn it if it was only paint on it? Thank you for the podcast and looking forward to each and every upcoming ones!
