Lindsay and Madison discuss Sarah Howe’s Ladies’ Deposit Company, as well as why you should never accept tea and compliments from an older woman, that if it sounds too good to be true you should always throw money at it, and that fortunetelling guarantees you won’t be quarterless.

Lindsay and Madison explore the fascinating history of the Nain Rouge — the “Red Dwarf” of Detroit (yes, THAT Detroit), as well as why it’s important to listen to fortunetellers who look like Jack Sparrow, the Mothman bromance that never was, and how white people ruin everything.

Lindsay and Madison discuss the history of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, as well as how to move large slabs of stone, why dumbwaiters always lead to murder, and a possible post-mortem love story.
