About this listen

This week, Jeff shares the truly horrific and inspiring survival story of Ellen Halbert, a victim of a brutal attack in Austin, Texas, who turned her trauma into a life of advocacy and justice reform. Sam dives into the haunting tale of Elizabeth Báthory, the Hungarian countess often labeled as one of history’s most prolific female serial killers. Her legend involves the torture and murder of hundreds of young women between 1590 and 1610.
