    22: Where TF is Shelly Miscavige?! Part 2

    Okay, okay, now it's time to get to the good stuff. In this episode, we learn about Shelly's upbringing, her connection to Hubbard and David Miscavige, and her disappearance (and/or death?) for the last 17 years. Maggie also tells us about Hubbard's three wives, and believe us when we say—that shit gets weird.

    21: Where TF is Shelly Miscavige?! Part 1

    It's our first 2-part episode, so of course we're trying to answer the 17-year-old question: where TF is Shelly Miscavige?

    In part 1, Maggie dives into the history of L. Ron Hubbard and the church of Scientology to set the stage. And it's a messy, messy stage!

    20: Cocaine Cowgirl | Griselda Blanco

    20: Cocaine Cowgirl | Griselda Blanco

    It's 2024, year of the mob wife aesthetic. But why be the mob wife when you could be the ~mob boss~ and be feared by everyone—including the big man himself, Pablo Escobar? On this episode, Sarah tells us about the biggest, baddest, scariest drug lord in Colombia (and maybe anywhere): Griselda Blanco, AKA The Godmother.

SaraGene03 ,

How do they do it?!

I love feeling like I am in the room with them as they unpack these stories and their lives. At some point in each episode I find myself going, “wow, it’s me!”

that_masonkid ,

Absolutely Stellar

This is the podcast Ken started listening to after he realized patriarchy wasn’t about horses.

Sarah said “oh you listen to The Roman Empire? Name 3 songs”

Hastoooo ,

WOW!

Literally binge worthy! Such an interesting and fun point of view of “mad women”. Love the content and can’t wait for more!
