32: Hometown Hijinx pt.2: Lincoln It Together



Grant... also transports us back to the Gilded Age in a completely unplanned turn of events. When is a murder just a murder, and when is it a stand in for larger social concerns? Like racism. Or misogyny. Grant relives a story he was first taught in college, a story he then very promptly forgot. Hometown Hijinx part two brings us to Lincoln, Nebraska to figure out who is Linc-ed together! The murder of John Sheedy.

We discuss the involvement of Molly Sheedy and William "Monday" McFarland and more!
