Crimes of the Centuries

From Strange and Unexplained: The Tragicomedy of Typhoid Mary


Listen Later

Hey, Crimes of the Centuries listeners!

We’re off for the Memorial Day holiday, but didn’t want to leave you with an empty feed, so we’re featuring an episode from another Obsessed Network show, “Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan”

Daisy is a Tony Award-winning actor, writer, and true crime fanatic. But she’s also a skeptic. Each week she looks  at real stories of hauntings, disappearances, UFO encounters, and anything else that feels just beyond what we can easily make sense of. She is your guide into the inexplicable details of these stories. But she’s also like, “show me the receipts.”

We’re sharing an episode that we think is perfect for COTC listeners - the story of Typhoid Mary, a cook who refused to wash her hands and the health department that chased her around New York City in search of a stool sample. She’d end up alone on an island, but everyone knew her name.

We’ll be back with and all new COTC episode next week, so in the meantime, check out “Strange & Unexplained with Daisy Eagan” wherever you get your podcasts.
