The T.R.O.N. PodcastPatti McCrackenPatti McCracken spent fourteen years immersed in an archaeological expedition about the Angel Makers, exploring the lives of the women involved, the conditions they lived under, and the state of Hungary during that era. She meticulously combed through transcripts in the Szolnok archives, working long hours in a musty, dimly lit room that was uncomfortably hot. Her remarkable Hungarian assistant, Attila, a local historian, was by her side, helping to translate documents—some nearly a century old—while Patti typed the English translation into her MacBook.
In addition to her archival work, McCracken hired translators to assist in t...2025-04-2332 min

A Study in Crime20. Arsenic and Old Midwives
Sophocles wrote: “Trust dies, but mistrust blossoms.” In 1920, in the village of Nagyrév, husbands trusted wives. Children trusted mothers. And everyone trusted the midwife, Zsuzannah Fazekas. No one knew she boiled fly paper in vinegar and then skimmed the residue into several small glass vials. And over the next 15 years, about 300 men, infants, and children would die. I speak with Patti McCracken in episode 20. Arsenic and Old Midwives.

In the beginning, a great many used the deadly...2023-05-3038 min
