The Bones & Bobbins Podcast, Season 3, Episode 02: Roses Are Red, Your Lips Are Blue
S03E02: The history of the valentine and the hypnotic love spell murderer, Dr. Carl Coppolino.
***
From penning sweet nothings to vinegar valentines, Natali explains why the history of these cards is far more creative–and more grown up–than today’s grade school-geared counterparts. Then, like a rain cloud over your lovenest, Haley ruins everything with a story of hypnosis, heartbreak (in the literal and figurative sense), two states, two mistresses, and probably two murders.Support the show:
