Show notes

Oh my gawwwwd Geoffs! This week Spencer is telling us about a mansion used for mourning and the history of Stanford University…which actually started with a death! But first, Madison is telling us all about famed coroner Michael Baden. We’ve got an obituary that was a little premature, one for a bird…I mean Byrd! And of course, we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminallllls!
