Well well well it must be Thursday! This week Madison is giving us the horrifying history of crash test dummies (hint: cadavers are definitely involved) but first, Spencer is spicing things up with some sensual ghost stories. We’ve got an obituary for a sweet man who wanted to help, and one with a major plot twist. OH, and we didn’t forget, we’ve also got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!

Nancy Brophy fills her novels with romantic betrayals and murder. It’s a far cry from her quiet life in the suburbs, where she and her chef husband, Dan, are living out their golden years. But when Dan is shot dead, Nancy finds herself at the center of a murder case that could be ripped from the pages of her novels.
From Wondery, this is a story about what happens when the line blurs between fiction and reality.
Listen to Happily Never After: Dan & Nancy on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App or on Apple Podcasts. Start your free trial by visiting Wondery.fm/HNA_DN now.

Geoffs, have you or someone you know been injured by an umbrella? Statistically speaking….probably! Spencer will explain. Afterwards Madison is ditching the victorian era to tell us a crazy tale from the Georgian era that’ll have you screaming. We’ve got an obituary for somebody who met a terrible demise, and one for a gal who got married out of convenience, and of course, we didn’t forget, we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminalllllls!
