  • Ep 58-Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust: A Funeral Home Horror Story
    Mar 27 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    They thought they were holding their loved one one last time, then they learned the urn held concrete. We’re walking through the Return to Nature Funeral Home scandal in Colorado, where investigators say nearly 190 bodies were left to decompose in a Penrose building while grieving families were told cremations and burials were complete. It’s one of those true crime stories that doesn’t just horrify you, it makes you re-check what you assume is regulated, inspected, and safe in the funeral industry.

  • Ep 57-Organ Donation Disasters
    Mar 20 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    The scariest part of modern medicine isn’t always the unknown, it’s the moment you realize the system can build momentum before certainty feels complete. We’re talking about organ donation disasters and near misses that force one brutal question: how do we know someone is truly dead when organ procurement is on the clock? Using the reported case of TJ Hoover in Kentucky, we trace how a single story can crack public trust, especially when families say they saw signs of life and later reporting suggests professionals inside the process had concerns too.

    If this raises questions for you, we want to hear them. Subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find Doctoring the Truth.

  • Ep 56-Notorious Nurse: The Murders of Jolly Jane
    Mar 13 2026

    Send a text

    A cheerful bedside smile is supposed to mean safety. That’s why the case of Jane Toppin, nicknamed “Jolly Jane,” still hits like a gut punch more than a century later. We walk through how a Boston woman born Honora Kelly could become one of America’s earliest notorious female serial killers while working as a nurse, using charm as cover and exploiting the gaps of late-1800s medical oversight.

    We trace her early life through poverty, loss, institutionalization, and being indentured as a child in the Toppin home where she’s even given a new name. Then we follow her into nursing, a profession that gave her something she craved: access, authority, and trust. From there, the story turns dark fast, with discussions of morphine and atropine poisoning, her reported fascination with convulsions, and how patients who were elderly or isolated could become targets with few questions asked. We also talk through her arrest, her unnerving candor, and the trial that ends with an insanity verdict that sparks strong reactions.

    Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us: what systems would you want in place to catch the unthinkable sooner?

I feel like I'm sitting around a kitchen table drinking coffee with the girls.

The humor

This new podcast is off to a great start! The cases they discuss are interesting, well researched, and presented with a touch of humor 😄 Both presenters have perfect voices for this genre, and are easy to listen to. The cases they have dug up disclose unbelievably awful behavior by healthcare professionals in whom we would normally trust😖
Well done ladies! You are bringing new life to the mid-week doldrums! Can’t wait for the next episode on Wednesday!
Any hints??
Thanks for all your work❣️
