    Elizabeth Báthory with Princess Weekes

    "Our alleged serial killers deserve better than this." Was Elizabeth Báthory the most prolific serial killer of all time, or was she just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Do we even have the tools to know? And what about that bathing in the blood of virgins thing? Lizzie correspondent Princess Weekes is here with your election night distract-a-thon.

    Adapting the Stepford Wives with Sarah Archer

    Somerton Man with Candace Jane Opper

For our October bonus episode, dear friend of the show Candace Jane Opper—who I fail to introduce in any way—comes to discuss the theories we create when we have only a handful of clues, and how our conspiracy theories can drive us apart or bring us together.
