Podcast Shoutout: And today’s podcast shoutout is to Ye Olde Crime. Lindsay and Madison take you back in history to get the low down on crimes of old. There are a lot of crimes and disasters that I have not heard of, so it is always a lot of fun to learn about death from a distance.

Listener Shoutout: And the listener shoutout is to Conakry Guinea. Originally located on the island of Tombo, the city built up onto the peninsula next to the island. In 1885, there were only 500 people living in the city. The name of the country was for a while Conakry Guinea, so that it wasn’t confused with Guinea-Bissou and Equatorial Guinea.

In the first story, we learn why man is the least trustworthy animal. In the second, we learn why tigers won't attack you unless provoked. And in the final story, we learn the meaning of "half kills one, one kills three, and three kills seven". It isn't a math riddle I promise.
