S01E11: THE CASES OF ANDREW BAGBY & ZACHARY TURNER
When Andrew Bagby broke it off with Shirley Turner on November 3, 2001, he could not have known the devastation that was waiting for him and his family. When Shirley allegedly travelled over 1000 miles to confront and murder Andrew in cold blood, this is just the beginning of the heartbreak for the Bagby family. As this story unfolds, it emphasizes a tragic example of how the Canadian child protective system and the Canadian Justice system completely failed Andrew, his son Zachary, and their families.FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: @crimefamilypodcastTwitter:

Episodio 2: "Let it go", la storia di Shirley
Questo episodio è dedicato a “Let it go”, il memoir di Dame Stephanie Shirley, da cui prende il nome questo podcast. La storia di un’imprenditrice che nel 1962 decise di cominciare un’azienda che vendesse software (all’epoca si regalava) e dove lavorassero solo donne, da casa, con carta, matita e telefono. Un libro incredibilmente attuale, che da quando l’ho letto non fa che pormi insistentemente la domanda su come raccogliere la sua eredità.Trigger warnings: depressione, traumaFontihttps://www.let-it-go.co.uk/about/ https://www.ted.com/talks/dame_stephanie_shirle...

Its business model, employing women in their free time to do programming tasks, was a predecessor to today's "gig economy." In her memoir, Let It Go, Shirley not only recounts her entrepreneurship journey, but also her concurrent personal struggles including bringing...
