My apologies for the late podcast this week... the blue screen of death reared its ugly head, but the computer issues are now fixed and the podcast is finally posted.
Our topic this week is Amelia Elizabeth Hobley-Dyer, the Ogress of Reading. A woman who made money "caring" for children of unwed mothers in Victorian England. Unfortunately, this often meant her killing the children and pocketing the money from the poor women who paid her to take them in.
