Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes were just two poets who fell in love, until gender roles, mental illness, and misogyny got in the way. Our sophomore episode is diving into their marriage, Plath's life and craft, and how Hughes and his sister took advantage of Plath's work after her suicide at the age of 30.

Additional narrations were provided by Sharon Hyland. Theme music is credited to Wendy Marcini, Elvin Vanguard, and Jules Gaia.
