Bonus Episode 2: What Is Up With Italian Poisoners?
A deep dive into the preponderence of poisoning during the Italian Renaissance

Did anyone else start listening to the Catherine de Medici episodes and think, “Why the heck did everyone just assume Italians are poisoners?” If so, I did too! It seems like such a strange and negative stereotype. In this bonus episode, I am finally exploring some of the history of poisoning in the Italian Renaissance, with a bonus look at the birth of medical testimony in criminal trials! 🧑‍⚕️⚗️🧪💀 Enjoy!
