14 MAR 2025 · So in the 17th Century, in Rome, Giulia Tofana led a group of women who made devotional oils, cosmetic liquids and of course, poison. This poison was a famed untraceable and undetectable poison for it's time and it was dubbed Aqua Tofana. 4 doses they said, could put any man in his grave. It was a way for women, who could not get a divorce to get out of some very bad situations and over 20 years, these women claimed to have killed over 600 men, We discuss the poison, the time, the place and famous folks who felt they were victims of this strange brew. We also talk bodily autonomy, the trend 'Make Aqua Tofana Great Again', Dandy's World, The Princess Bride, (Princess Buttercup has entered the chat), iocaine powder and just plain being decent to one another in this, wait, they REALLY did that episode of the Family Plot Podcast!

6 FEB 2025 · Another episode that is just so full of goodness, you'll wonder how we were able to pack it all into one episode! We go to Salem for this one, specifically the Gardner-Pingree House, which was once owned by Captain Joseph White. White was a a fair bit unsavory due to some of his business practices as a captain, but once he retired, he was murdered by four men who frankly, were not criminal masterminds by any stretch of the imagination. We talk his life, his murder, his murderers and their trial. They even had a special prosecutor, a celebrity lawyer of his time, Daniel Webster. We also talk how the former Captain became a ghost haunting his former home in this little bit spooky, whole lotta true crime historical episode of the Family Plot Podcast! Plus we crammed in a whole lot of love. Trigger Warnings for Suicide and mentions of slavery.
