Husbands Full Of Lead
Betty Martin And Mildred Bolton Take Aim
Episode 178 takes us to Chicago in the 1930s when two women stand trial for very similar crimes, murdering their husbands, the second one inspired by the first. Both women are a little crazy, maybe a lot crazy, but their demeanor during their trials and the very different outcomes makes an interesting study to compare and contrast. One of them is pretty, the other pudgy. Which one do you think gets acquitted?

A Unique True Crime Podcast
This podcast hosted by Richard O. Jones—something of a character himself—tells historical true crime stories literally ripped from the headlines of the day. It’s sweet spot is homicide about a century ago. A while back Jones took a sabbatical from the show—and it’s absence made me think of it fonder. I’m glad the podcast is back.
A Zillion True Crime Podcasts. This is Different!
