About this listen

Jeff covers the story of Irena Sendler, a true heroine who saved 2,500 children from death camps during World War II. Working with the Polish underground, she smuggled children out of the Warsaw Ghetto and placed them with safe families, preserving their real identities in hidden records.

Sam tells the tragic story of Austin Wenner and Jessica Lewis, whose murders shocked their community. Their case gained widespread attention after their remains were discovered in suitcases near a shoreline, a crime later explored in Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever.
