This week, the podcast spans wildly different territory: the enduring cultural impact of a beloved children's author, a bizarre 1930s murder case involving a severed limb, and the surprisingly complex science behind a pantry staple. What ties these episodes together is how they each reveal hidden depths in things we thought we understood—whether that's a familiar name, a strange crime, or an everyday food.
