Episode 120: Sacco & Vanzetti / The Beast of Gévaudan

May 19

Welcome to another Wednesday, Queerdos! We've got a beefy one for you this week. First, in our True Crime Story, Miss takes us back 100 years to share the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian anarchists who were treated super fairly by America's unassailable criminal legal system and everything worked out great. Next, in our Spoopy Tale, Kevin whisks us once again to Cryptid Corner! This week's creepy li'l guy: the Beast of Gevaudan! He's French! So get your stories straight, look out for sharp claws, and get ready for this week's show. Let's dive in!
