Well well well, look at the pod, having one of the boys OF the pod ON THE CAST!! *celebrates enthusiastically* EVERYONE LET'S WELCOME BRYCE aka EXTRACT THE GHOST aka THE MAN THE MYTH THE HUSBAND. This week my v handsome husband and myself are talking about the most prolific mass murderer/serial killer/murder mastermind the world has ever seen. In 17th century Rome, women weren't given very many options. You could enter into an arranged and often times loveless/abusive marriage, be a sex worker in order to remain single, or...get married, kill your husband with poison and BECOME A WIDOW BAYBEE! Fortunately for Giulia Tofana, this meant her underground black market apothecary/makeup business was about to take off. A master of not magic black magic, Giulia was known for helping women get rid of their shit bag husbands when they had eventually had enough.
.
Was she REALLY wrong? Does Amanda have some kind of need to root for the underdog/murderer as long as it means saving women from being abused? Was Giulia the original David Rose? Does Amanda also know an unusual amount about how to poison another human? Listen this week and find out how soup can be terrifying, why Bryce will never eat first again, and how Mozart ties into this insane story.
.
After listening, if you find anything we've missed or anything you'd like to correct us on PLEASE DO!
As always,
H E C K Y O U!
