Today in the cottage, it's opposite day!
Nyelene kicks things off with a historical account of the "woman's weapon" - poison! More specifically, little concoction know as Aqua Tofana. Thankfully the makeup of this poison has been lost to the ages.
Then, Nym takes a page out of her co-hosts book to cover an infamous true crime occurrence - the mysterious death of Natalie Woods! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll avoid boarding yachts in stormy weather with your potentually abusive husband... okay, well probably not those first two things, but I'd still stay off the boat. Join us for the nightmare
