57.) Leopold and Loeb: Part 1

They were rich. Brilliant. Queer. And convinced they could get away with murder.

In 1924, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb—two affluent college students—committed what they called the “perfect crime,” abducting and murdering 14-year-old Bobby Franks just for the thrill. But behind the headlines was a relationship built on obsession, dominance, and a chilling intellectual detachment from humanity.

This episode dives into the beginnings of one of the most infamous queer true crime cases in U.S. history—a story of privilege, power, and the deadly fantasy of invincibility.

Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light—all with a cold one in hand.
