36: The Mysterious Death of Jane Stanford & 1905 Zodiac Back

On today’s episode, Valerie tells the story of the unsolved murder of Jane Stanford, a tale including the founding of Stanford University (a beautiful tribute to her beloved late son), a rivalry with college president David Star Jordan, a university spy named Goebel, two poisonings, and a cover up that nearly buried the truth forever. Valerie outlines the popular suspects, as well as evidence uncovered by authors in recent years which helped bring to light the uncomfortable truth about Mrs. Stanford’s death. Next, Amy Jo’s Zodiac back details what the outer planets were up to in 1905, and for the first time ever we discuss an inner planet. Mercury! And yes, we discuss the most well known (and dreaded?) detail about it - Mercury Retrograde! But fear not. Amy Jo breaks down what Mercury Retrograde is, and how to get through it. Next, she presents German physicist Albert Einstein’s 1905 burst of revolutionary and consequential ideas, known as his Year of Miracles. Seriously, who doesn’t love Albert Einstein!?!?
