      Feb 13 2026

      Caldrons, Curses, and Corrosives

      From the soap vats of Correggio to the imperial courts of Rome, these women turned domestic life into a deadly art form. This episode explores the dark legacies of Leonarda Cianciulli and Locusta of Gaul, two notorious figures who proved that the most dangerous weapon isn't always a blade—sometimes, it’s a tea cake or a poisoned fig.

      In this episode, we explore:

      • Leonarda Cianciulli (The Soap-Maker of Correggio):
      • The Mother’s Curse: How a childhood hex led Leonarda into a world of superstition and human sacrifice.
      • The Macabre Recipe: The gruesome details of how she processed three neighbors into soap and "crunchy" tea cakes to protect her son during WWII.
      • Locusta of Gaul (Rome’s First Serial Killer):
      • Imperial Assassin: How an ancient herbalist became the go-to poisoner for Emperors, serving the deadly whims of Agrippina and Nero.
      • The Professionalization of Poison: A look at Locusta’s state-sanctioned "school of poisoning" and her role in the downfall of Roman royalty.
      • A Shared Legacy: Comparing the motivations of these two women—one driven by maternal mania, the other by cold, political ambition.
