Welcome to Season Eight, Unscrewed Nation! We're kicking it off with a season-long theme -- Edge Case -- and a deep dive with the genius mind of Sady Doyle, whose new book Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers is all about the women we write off as monsters, and the surprising lessons these ultimate edge cases can teach us about fear, power, rage, and patriarchy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
