About this episode

Join Lauren and Bally this week as we discuss Betty Broderick and the 1989 murders of her ex-husband, Dan Broderick, and his new wife, Linda Kolkena. The case sparked controversy and global debate: had she finally snapped after years of divorce, betrayal, and bitter legal battled? Or was she just out for revenge (as Sza said “if I can’t have you, no one should”).New episodes every Friday.
