  • The best

    This podcast is fantastic. What a brilliant way to build a show—one bad Elizabeth after another. Each episode and Elizabeth is more fascinating and entertaining than the next. The hosts are hilarious and make you want to more about people you were sure you had no interest in. Enjoy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bad Elizabeth - Betty Broderick with Griffin Matthews
Q: What was your experience working on The Flight Attendant?
It was probably to date my favorite job that I've done, where we played flight attendants and actually flew around the world to shoot it, creating an atmosphere like adult summer camp.
Bad Elizabeth - Elizabeth Parris with Jane Borden
Q: What drew you to cults? How did you come to write this book?
Jane shares her long-standing fascination with belief systems and how they affect identity, linking her academic background in religious studies with her comedic career.
Bad Elizabeth - Lizzie Borden with Ricardo Rebelo
Q: So just to ask a little bit about Lizzie, A Day in the Life, what she did. Because this was the Victorian age. One of the defenses is that she couldn't possibly, she was a proper lady.
Lizzie was a spinster in her 30s and unmarried, which was already questionable for women back then. She had done work at the church but had issues including stealing.
Bad Elizabeth - Lizzie Borden with Ricardo Rebelo
Q: What's your take on it? Did she do it?
Based on years of studying true crime and psychological profiling, it's likely that Lizzie did it or knew who did it due to the intensity of the murder.
Bad Elizabeth - Elizabeth Holmes with E. Jean Carroll
Q: So are you going to plug your book?
It's out in bookstores, it's on Audible, it's on every sort of platform.
