Part 2 of our Queens of Crime series, Today we talk about how Sophie Lyons lightened the purses of people in New York in the late 1800s. It is a surprisingly romantic and sympathetic tale of harrowing crime sprees and the love the blossomed from it. Or maybe she was just a sociopath. Who knows. Give it a go, and watch your pockets.

We're Back! After a few months Hiatus, the podcast is finally back. New Location, same ol' amateur crap you listen too! Today's show is about a little known crime lord of the New York City streets in the 1800s. Frederika Mandelbaum was her name, and she provided food, shelter, and a place for orphans to unload their stolen goods. She even had a school dedicated to teaching children how to steal. Sounds like a grandmother everyone would want!

In a remarkable story about understanding and culture, Daryl Davis brings men out of the Klu Klux Klan with the power of friendship.

So today's podcast is about on of the icons of the Peace Movement, Father Dan Berrigan. Father Dan was a Catholic priest who specialized in Peaceful Protests. You might call him a PRIESTful Protester. Does that scan? Alex just laughed at it so it must be funny. Just came up with that on the fly. Should I change the title of the episode now?

Anyway, He was a Radical. And not radical in the 90s doing-kick-awesome-moves-on-a-skateboard sense, the 60s Radical, and ended up on the FBI most wanted list. What did he do? Stop reading and listen!
