The Baby Farmer – Ep. 28
from Crisis & Consequences · host Escape Pod
On this episode we take the Escape Pod across the pond and back in time to England in the 1800s, when being an unwed mother was frowned upon, but women in this situation had limited options to give their babies a better life. “Baby farmers” were like early versions of adoption agencies, but one such “farmer” was both greedy and mentally disturbed – a dangerous combination for the children entrusted to her care. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of crimes against children. Bullet Points of Key Topics and Markers: Topic #1 3:35 Escaping projectile vomit Topic #2 13:25 Introduction to Amelia Dyer Topic #3 22:30 Amelia’s true crime revealed Topic #4 37:12 The co-hosts escape, stock show-style!
