Audioboom Studios
About this episode
Critics called her rude, blasphemous, a destroyer of beliefs and values who popped off like a chain of fireworks in a church. The progressive activism of this lawyer, veteran, mom, fighter, and fan of four-letter-words earned her the nickname The Most Hated Woman in America. This week’s episode is The Murder of Madalyn Murray O’Hair – Part 1.
