The Ballad of Dena & Andrea - Episode 01 - With Muriel's Murders (Muriel Montgomery & Nick Casalini)

Send a textThis first episode introduces the story of Dena & Andrea in an epic murder ballad. You’ll hear a bit about what a murder ballad is and why I dig them. I’ll chat with two friends, who also tell stories of murder, about the pros and cons of true crime, what it’s like to create macabre content with humor, and the importance of letting go of reductive “good/evil” narratives. Guests: Muriel Montgomery & Nick Casalini of the true crime humor podcast “Muriel’s Murders.” This pod takes twists in and out of light-hearted and serious. Be prepared for emotional rollercoaster action! CW: postpartum psychosis, depression, suicide, infanticide, and religious zealotry. Please take care of yourself while listening. When I use the word women I aim to include anyone who has identified as a woman, female, or femme at any point in their journey. Links from Show & GuestsAlan Lomax recordings Roud Index Omie Wise Muriel’s MurdersTexas Killing Fields I-45 between Houston and GalvestonEar HustleThe New Gurus The Good StuffBallad of Dena & Andrea LinksPostpartum Support InternationalPSI Yates Children Memorial Fund Legal Justice ProgramA bit about the Yates Children Memorial FundI Need An AbortionPlanCPills National Suicide Hotline: You can call 998 or find help online at Domestic Abuse HotlineTrevor ProjectExvangelical PodcastSupport the Pod LinksVenmoPatreon Link AlbumHosted & created - Becky PooleSongs written & sung - Becky PooleMusical Saw - Becky PooleSong & Theme Instrumentation, Production, & Mix - Abby PosnerMastered - Dave LockePodcast Audio Editing & Mixing - Evan MosherGraphic Design - Stefan LawrencePhoto - Logan FutejThank you for listening.
