Well this episode is loaded up with so much history and excitement, we just can't wait to share it!  We discuss the life of Marie Slobodowska Curie aka Marie Curie or Madame Curie.  But we also stop off in Arthur's corner to discuss differences between moths and butterflies (for example did you know butterflies rest with their wings closed while moths rest with them open) and then goes on to discuss the Rosy Maple Moth, which apparently is not as delicious as it sounds.  However it is impressive and beautiful  We cover Curie's family life, her husband, her 'scandal' and her strength.  Listen to how this woman that Albert Einstein once described as the only person he ever met to be immune to the effects of fame, made her way in the xenophobic France of the 1900's and be surprised at how she spent World War I in another girl power history episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

So there is so, so much good in this episode.  First, we discuss the Beast of Gevaudan, a crazy cryptid/ wolf that terrorized the countryside in Gevaudan, an area where the French believed the dark enchantments of the forest still held sway.  The beast seemed to terrorize the French countryside in the area known as Gevaudan, striking from out of nowhere and disappearing just as quickly.  Many tried to catch the beast, and many claimed they had but the attacks only stopped after a local man shot a large wolf on the slopes of a nearby mountain.  We discuss what kind of animaal the beast might have been, look into the history surrounding the beast and even give our own thoughts on what we think it might have been in this fantastically wolfy episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

In this episode we sail round the Horn and back again as we look into the lives, trial and mysteries of the Naussau Pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read.  Part of Calico Jack Rackham's crew, these two dressed as men, cursed, drank, fought and killed with their pirate brethren and for two months lived completely free, a rare thing for women in the Early 1700's.  We dig into what little is known about their early lives, what led them to become pirates and how their two months as lawless pirates made them so famous they are still talked about to this day.  Laura has Covid AND the Flu, she never does anything by halves.  Arthur discusses people mocking the trans movement by identifying as helicopters and toasters and in the end, we are forced to admit that Anne Bonny disappeared sometime after she had been imprisoned on the Bahamas and we do not know how or where her life ended.  So join us for this special episode all about these two pirates and so much more in this Jolly Roger Episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

So much good stuff in this episode!  First, we are joined by Chris Page, the man who produces Travis Orndorff's podcast and has multiple wrestling podcasts and twitch streams.  Chris and Dean discuss their history and their friendship and Arthur has a new sting to introduce her corner.  (Courtesy of our new sound engineer, Blue Boese)  We also focus this week on Doctor Sam Sheppard, a doctor from Ohio who was accused of murdering his pregnant wife.  However, the carnival-like atmosphere of his trial and even the judge publicly saying he was guilty eventually earn him a new trial and his freedom.  After ten years in prison, wrongfully convicted of his wife's murder, he tried to make a new life for himself even wrestling and inventing the 'Mandibular Nerve Pinch' a move Mankind repackaged into 1996 into the Mandible Claw.  Still, he eventually passed away from the effects of alcoholism in this special, man I wonder where they got the idea for the Fugitive movie and TV show episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
