THE MYTH OF BLOODY MARY: WHO IS TO BLAME...

The Alarmist
About this episode

Who’s to blame for the Myth of Bloody Mary?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with podcaster Cristen Conger about England’s first Queen, Queen Mary, and who or what’s to blame for her infamous reputation as Bloody Mary, the spooky legend haunting your mirror. Is this simply a case of bad PR? Was Henry VIII up to no good, once again? Or were there some double standards at play? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
