130. Mushroom Poisoning & Memphis Belle with Melissa Katherine

Today's guest is Melissa Katherine, a stand up comic from Auckland who's been gaining a bit of traction online lately after discussing an Australian true crime event where someone poisoned some people with a beef wellington, she even got a cease and desist letter from the Australian supreme court as it's actually illegal to talk about crimes while the case is still pending. Fascinating stuff! We also talked about the film Memphis Belle and why it's meaningful to her, as well as the role that wartime propaganda plays in society.
