You asked and here it is! The first part of a two part episode about Mary, Queen of Scots.

Welcome to a special episode on location at the Lizzie Borden house! It's a Bed and Breakfast now, so we stayed the night, and recorded some episodes about Lizzie and the murders that took place there. Did Lizzie do it? Was it the maid? The uncle? The doctor? A stranger? We don't know, but we have some theories! We hope you enjoy these episodes and keep in mind that, since they are on location, there's a bit of ambient noise, in this case mostly church bells, ambulance/police sirens, and loud motorcycles to deal with.
