Ep. 173: Kim Wall
Episode description
On August 10, 2017, independent journalist, Kim Wall, boarded a submarine to interview its owner, Peter Madsen; she would never return to shore alive. This week, Hannah tells Katy the absolutely tragic story of the events that unfolded next, and the brilliant young mind that was lost to the hands of a truly evil man. This one has homemade submarines, unchecked narcissism, a surprisingly competent police force, and so much more.
We recommend a palate cleanser and/or emotional support drink/pet nearby for this one because it gets rough.
