Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother 40 whacks... We've all heard the macabre schoolyard rhyme but this week we take a look behind the legend of Lizzie Borden and try to find out the facts in this extra long episode. And with extra long episodes, comes extra snark, puns and tangents!

Join us in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892 to hear all about the gruesome axe murders that still haven't been solved today.
