Two Southern besties sharing their obsession with all things true crime — one hot flash at a time! Marguerite digs into historical cases, while Angela brings the modern mayhem. Together, they serve up stories of the women who kill — with a dash of sass, a sprinkle of snark, and a whole lot of Southern charm. Because all women know — Menopause is Murder!
Angela tells us about Elizabeth Wettlaufer, a Canadian nurse who became one of the country’s most prolific serial killers. For years, Wettlaufer worked in nursing homes and home-care settings, where she used her access to insulin to deliberately harm the vulnerable patients entrusted to her care. Eight people died and six others survived her attacks, yet no investigation uncovered what was happening. In fact, Wettlaufer repeatedly confessed or hinted at her crimes to people in her life—and still continued working as a nurse. Ultimately, she wasn’t caught because police connected the deaths or because the healthcare system discovered a suspicious pattern. She confessed. Angela follows Wettlaufer’s story from her childhood and troubled nursing career through the murders, the shocking missed warning signs, her eventual confession, guilty pleas, and the massive public inquiry that asked the question everyone wanted answered: How could a nurse murder patients for years without anyone realizing what she was doing?

Jeanne de Clisson
Marguerite shares the story of Jeanne de Clisson, the 14th-century noblewoman who traded castle walls for the open sea—and became known as the Lioness of Brittany. After her husband, Olivier de Clisson, was accused of treason and executed by order of King Philip VI of France, Jeanne was determined to make the French crown pay. According to the legend that grew around her, she sold her estates, raised an army, and eventually took her revenge to the sea with a fleet of ships said to have been painted black with blood-red sails. For years, Jeanne hunted French vessels, earning a terrifying reputation for showing little mercy to their crews. But behind the swashbuckling stories of the Black Fleet is a fascinating medieval tale where documented history and legend sometimes collide. Marguerite takes us back to the Hundred Years’ War to uncover the story of a wife, mother, noblewoman, warrior, and alleged pirate who turned grief into vengeance—and became one of history’s most notorious women of the sea.

Stephanie Lazarus
Angela tells us about Stephanie Lazarus, a respected LAPD detective who spent more than two decades hiding a deadly secret in plain sight. In 1986, newlywed nursing director Sherri Rasmussen was found brutally beaten and shot to death inside her Los Angeles home, and investigators initially blamed a burglary gone wrong. But Sherri’s family suspected there was much more to the story—especially after learning about the woman from her husband John’s past who just happened to be a police officer. The case went cold for 23 years until DNA from a bite mark led investigators straight to one of their own. Angela takes us through Stephanie’s obsession with John, her confrontations with Sherri, the shocking failures of the original investigation, the cold-case breakthrough, and the stunning admissions she finally made decades later. This is a story of jealousy, betrayal, a badge, a bite, and a killer hiding where no one thought to look: inside the LAPD.
