Description

Early-1900s New York City was a place of utter chaos—a place where poisoners reigned supreme. That is, until a unique duo stepped in and started to win the long-fought battle between scientists and poisoners, creating the field of forensic toxicology in the process.  This episode, we'll dive into the history of poisoning, and stories that defined the Roaring Twenties.
