Episode 111 - The Dark and Twisted Tragedy of the Wizard of Oz

After a short sabbatical in August to rest, regroup, and get our lives back in order, the girls are officially BACK! And what better way to return than by kicking off a brand-new state? September brings us to Kansas, a state that immediately makes us think of ruby slippers, flying monkeys, and one very famous yellow brick road. But behind the colorful world of The Wizard of Oz lies a much darker and more twisted history than you might expect. In our first episode back, Manda pulls back the curtain and takes us beyond the magic of Oz to uncover the dark tragedies, disturbing stories, and heartbreaking circumstances surrounding the beloved classic. Because sometimes, there's no place like home... but there might be a whole lot of darkness hiding behind the curtain. So grab your ruby slippers and follow us down the yellow brick road, but don't expect this journey to end in Kansas quite the way you remember. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, drug use, and suicide.
