Bad Elizabeth

Jett Road Studios presents "Bad Elizabeth," a comedic true crime podcast hosted by friends and former "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" office mates, Gideon Evans and Kathy Egan-Taylor. The premise is as simple as it sounds: each episode explores the story of an "Elizabeth" (or any derivation of that name) who is notorious, be they a murderer, a fraudster, or just a complete a-hole. These women span both past and present, in pop culture and world history. Gideon & Kathy guide you through these sordid and outrageous tales breezily, as if you were a guest at a fun cocktail party.

Season 1 Elizabeths profiled include famed axe-wielder Lizzie Borden, imprisoned Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, the ruthless Queen Elizabeth I, and the bloodthirsty Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Gideon and Kathy explore the misdeeds of the Elizabeths in question, and determine whether they deserve to be called "bad." Each episode also features a special guest, be it an expert, actor, author, or an actual living and breathing Elizabeth (a good one).

Evans and Egan-Taylor don't harbor any resentment against Elizabeths, many of whom they hope to woo as listeners. However, there are a lot of them out there who are objectively shitty (we all know at least one). Consider yourself warned!
