The Last Meal Podcast

This state is well known for a lot of things, and serial killers are one of them. Today I'll be talking about two lesser-known serial killers from the Golden State, as well as a man who is "infamous" in some circles.

This is a totally new thing we're doing today. All about women who have gotten the death penalty. And no, I didn't just go for Aileen Wuornos. She's been done to death, no pun intended. This one is pretty interesting, so buckle up!
