Join comedians Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard-McLean as they explore a shared passion, serial killers. Each episode the pair will talk all things murder and macabre and have a right laugh doing it.
In Episode 118, we take a look at Linda Hazzard, also known as the Starvation Doctor. Linda ran a sanitarium in Seattle, where she administered questionable treatments including fasting, enemas, and repeatedly pummeling patients in the head with her bare hands.
But it's been a while since Rachel and Kiri have caught up, so Linda's story takes a backseat to chats about rural dating apps, children on the tube, and a very emotional sound tech. Keep an eye out for part two next week.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
