We'd recommend not eating while listening to this episode. This week, Alex & Christie go back down to Georgia to discuss the claimed, "Georgian Black Widow" - aka Janie Lou Gibbs. Why did Janie do what she did? What happened to the ones she loved most? You'll have to tune in to find out! Need a distraction? We got you.
As discussed in episode 62 about the 215 bodies of Tk'emlups te Secwepemc First Nation children recently found in Kamloops (and counting found in other provinces/locations), please check out: https://truenorthaid.ca/how-to-help-first-nations/.
