We're a little late, but Happy 7th Anniversary to US! If you've been listening to us that long -WE LOVE YOU! If you're a new listener, we LOVE YOU, TOO! Thanks, y'all - we truly mean that.

This week, Kat dives into the case of Brenda Andrew, the only woman on death row in Oklahoma.

What began as a churchgoing suburban marriage ended in an affair, a bitter divorce and custody fight, and the fatal shooting of Rob Andrew in his own garage just before Thanksgiving 2001.

We examine the controversy surrounding Brenda’s trial and failed appeals, while keeping the focus where it belongs: on Rob Andrew, the father whose life was taken and whose children lost him forever.

Join us as we explore the dark side of humanity...with beer
