Betsy and the Beast: A Season of Foster's Child episodes
- Episode 1: Purpose - The Story That Wanted to Be ToldEvery family has stories. Some are passed down. Others are buried — in wills, courtrooms, adoption records, and silence. Purpose explains why this podcast exists. The story opens with the death of Irene Moore, an heiress to a Pennsylvania coke fortune, and the legal battle her will set in motion. That conflict pulled some people together and pushed others away, shaping identities, adoptions, and family dynamics for generations. This is a story about inheritance, identity, and the quiet ways families negotiate love and power. It is also a reminder: when stories go untold, history has a way of repeating itself.

About Betsy and the Beast: A Season of Foster's Child
From the publisher's feed
Betsy and the Beast is a narrative documentary podcast about identity, inheritance, and access — and the quiet systems that decide who belongs and who does not.
Told through court records, headlines, family memory, and silence, the series traces the life and aftermath of Elizabeth "Betsy" Moore Lyon Deutsch Kelley Collabolletta and the legacy inherited by Foster's child.
It is true.
And there is crime. But this is not a true crime podcast.
Each episode explores a single arc, slowly and deliberately — where money moves without names, and where names may or may not afford power, presence or protection.
