Holy Shit! A True-ish Crime Podcast
Saint Agnes, a child bride who blinded a bunch of dudes
This episode has EVERYTHING: ancient Rome, a Law & Order SVU-worthy storyline, a creepy kid straight out of a Stephen King adaptation, an imaginary boyfriend, unparalleled hair growth, pretty privilege in action, and tons of blood.
Season 1 of Holy Shit shines a light on Slayed Queens — the girl bosses and baddies of yore, whose face cards never declined … but often got them killed. This week’s slayed queen is Saint Agnes, a virgin Christian martyr who was dying to get married.
