Join the Ladies of Macabre as they get as giddy as school girls, talking about the phrases we commonly use today that are taken for granted and actually have very dark meanings. We thought we’d do something a little dark, but a little bit fun on this episode, considering we have covered a lot of very heavy topics lately. This episode won’t be all kittens and rainbows…but it will be slightly less disturbing…we hope.

Murder is the most macabre of MACABRE. And today the ladies of MACABRE are going to unpack the case of serial killer, Gary Ridgway...who was one of the worst of the worst. He was convicted of 49 murders but claims he killed at least 80 women. Most of his victims were murdered between 1982 and 1984 but continued his killing spree until 1998.
