In this KILLER season 2 finale, listen to your favorite nerds tackle the conspiracy side of the JFK Assassination.
First, Casie and Sarah discuss the "legitimate" investigations following the assassination- from the FBI to the Warren Investigation to a few others that are ridiculously long named committees.

Listen in to Part 1 as your nerds take us through that insanely chaotic and catastrophic day, from the parade route to the arrest of “the shooter,” to the autopsy and aftermath.

Episode 38: Jane Goodall
This week on WTHistory?! your favorite nerds decided it was APE-solutely time to lighten things up- and what better way to do that than by learning about the incredibly brilliant Badass Babe, Jane Goodall!
Navigate the jungle with us as we go through Jane’s life and achievements, from her enchanted upbringing in the English countryside to her explorations of chimpanzees in Africa. We promise you’ll swing away from this episode knowing just how accomplished Dr. Goodall is, and only feeling just a little bit ashamed that you’re not doing more to help your environment.

Episode 37:Jack the Ripper
It's time to talk old-timey serial killers, nerds!
This week, Casie and Sarah delve into one of history's greatest True Crime mystories... Jack the Ripper. In this spin, your nerdy hosts cover the East London crimes and the extensive dead-end investigation. But fear not! Sarah and Casie each present some of the most intriguing and downright absurd conspiracy theories into who The Ripper might have been. Perhaps it was a member of the Royal Family, or better yet, a beloved (though slightly deranged) children's book author?

Episode 36: The History of Childbirth (Part 2)
It's twins y'all!
Just kidding. But seriously, how could we possibly talk about one of the only things that has been literally in existence throughout all of humankind's history in just one episode?? This week, your favorite nerds dive back in (ew) to talk about how the experience of childbirth has changed in the last century.
First, Casie brings us through the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, discussing things like twilight sleep, men trying to control women's bodies (shocking right?) and finally the step by step process of the infamous Dr. L. Sarah then navigates from the 1970s to today, sharing some really depressing statistics and also educating us on how mothers have (finally) started to come back into the picture with their own childbirth experiences.
