Briefly

"We wanted to find a way to connect our interests in murder, political scandals, and congressional crime, and the podcast was just the perfect outlet for that."
"One of the outcries the protestors had was 'stop the steal,' which eerily echoes fears and frustrations from our own elections and political climates today."
"The unwritten law meant that anyone compromising a man’s wife was a fair target for retribution, as seen in the historical context of Congressman Sickles’ actions in the 1859 murder case."
"Mary Todd Lincoln's interest in spiritualism and seances is a fascinating mix of history and scandal that we wanted to explore, even if it wasn't technically a crime."
