In a very special spooooky 2-for-1 Samhain episode, Rachel and Kat – along with a special guest – introduce two of history’s deadliest poisoners.

Operating in the 17th century, Guilia Tofana and La Voisin had the men of Italy and France glancing over their shoulders and terrified of their soup (and the perfume!). Whether it was offering disenfranchised women an escape from their abusive marriages or providing noblewomen alternative means to secure an inheritance, both women created an elaborate underground network that involved the mass production and distribution of poisons.

Also in this episode: we’ll teach you how to sniff out poison-laced cosmetics (Just kidding! They are odorless!), mourn convincingly when your husband dies of a “mysterious illness” and maybe even bewitch a King of France.

**Disclaimer: This episode gets a little dark during the La Voisin episode and makes mention of infant mortality.**
