Manage episode 349049326 series 3390006
First Bec (they/them) takes us to Boston, the day after St. Patrick's Day. Unknown men dressed as cops take the opportunity of the distractions caused by the Irish celebrations to pull off the world's biggest art heist. Was it mastermind by the mob, or a stoned 25 year old?
Next Adam (he/him) tells us the story of the poor family de Védrines - poor only in luck, real rich with money cause they are aristocrats. Somehow average as all hell Thierry Tilly casts them all under a wild spell. Tune in to hear how one devious man uses his power of persuasion to take advantage of an entire family tree.
