This week’s podcast episode has your hosts attempting to piece together the long and winding tale of the 1985 murder of Helen Wilson and its resulting trials, as featured in the doc series on HBO Mind Over Murder. Along the way, they address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

How can some nonexistent dirty dishes lead directly to 6 murder convictions?

Is Merie a Vulcan or an elf?

What phenomenon is deadly to humans but creates giant radishes?

What exactly IS a cognitive dissonance-a-palooza (and how can anyone possibly know that)?

Can YOU hear Becky nodding?

Come for your pod-coasts unscientific analysis of caves & volcanoes. Stay for Becky’s simple solution for living a calmer, more peaceful life.
