La Quintrala

What do hot priests, Jesus' skirts and chicken have in common? On part one of their second two-parter, Carol and Steph talk about La Quintrala, Catalina de los Ríos y Lisperguer. Rightfully, she became an infamous figure in Chilean culture because of the 40+ murders she committed. Her victims include slaves, laborers, priests, lovers, and even her own dad.

Wallace de Souza

What do watermelons, beans and ticks have in common? On this week's episode, Carol and Steph talk about the once prestigious crime reporter and politician Wallace de Souza.
