Sit back and listen to Jayne and Paula tell you about tales of women who decided they'd had enough of certain pesky family members they wanted out of their lives for good and decided to do something about it with the odourless and tasteless poison Thallium. Maybe grab your favourite mug and brew up a cup of Bonox to enjoy with the pod. Probably best to make it yourself, mind.

Of course there's also what else they're reading, what's new and hot, and what's all the fuss lately about Dark Emu, which was featured on the pod in episode 15.

This month's ep was recorded in Adelaide on 30 June 2021 and if the ladies sound a little off this month, stay tuned to the end of the podcast for an explanation.
