    The middle ages sucked. The people of Strasberg, France had it particularly rough. And then? They started dancing. And they didn't stop until they died. Join us for this fascinating tale! That's true!

    The Murders of Bibba Henry and Nina Smallman Season 4, Episode 429
    Jan 3 2025

    Send us a text

    On Monday, June 8th, 2020, the murders of sisters Bibba Henry and Nina Smallman made the news. It wasn't just their brutal murder that was so harrowing, or the fact they were so close...or that the killer was so depraved. No. It was the way police mishandled their case, refusing to treat them with dignity.

Silly, kind, victim-centered.

Homespun storytelling. These ladies are victim-centric. They celebrate the victims, They have heart, empathy, and kindness. They never forget we, the listener, and often encourage our self-care, as the subject matter is often rough. It's like hanging out with the parts of your family you can still stand. Highly recommend.

I love this podcast

You are both naturals. I love your compassion for victims. Our social and political values are aligned, and I love that you're not afraid to discuss tough subjects. Thank you for doing all that you do. ❤️

Passionate Storytelling

What I really adore about this duo is that their empathy is often so plainly present. They have huge hearts. It is not robotic in any way. I do walk away with tears at times, but they pay homage to the victims every time.

A true friendship & true crime!

Not only do all the hosts support eachother with empathy but they always show empathy for the victims both directly and indirectly. They are passionate about doing what they love and especially speak to those of us dealing with domestic violence and verbal assaults. As many murders do start or have roots in a history of abuse in all forms. For this reason too, I find it especially inspiring. Best friends who thoroughly dive in and give their opinions perfectly.

Fun Girl Chat about CRAZY Jodi

Funny!!! Feel half crazy myself even saying this, but I really enjoyed listening to this very real but lighthearted girlie perspective of the mental issues that evolved into Jodi Arias' manipulative obsession with needing love and complete attention from everyone down to the one person that fulfilled her sickness to his end. Many times true crime is all drama, rightfully so. So appreciated being able to laugh with this podcast about this unhinged woman's antics. Clearly she's insane...all respect and love goes out to this victim's family. So sorry for this horrifying woman's impact on your life!

Everyone on this podcast is amazing and funny... especially Lillian. They help me get through my work day, my coworkers probably think I'm crazy cus I'm always giggling to myself. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ They're very relatable as well, especially as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Just absolutely adore them. If you're into true crime, paranormal and giggling to yourself every now and again, I definitely recommend this podcast. 💗
