| 0:20.6 | Please don't let your kids listen to this, |
| 0:22.4 | or they might turn out like us. |
| 0:30.6 | Hi, I'm Annie in the U.S., and unfortunately, today you just have me. This is Fresh Hell podcast, and normally I am joined by my |
| 0:41.0 | co-host and partner in crime, Johanna, in Austria. Please don't worry, it's actually good news |
| 0:48.1 | that Johanna isn't here today. Not because I'm not going to miss her very much, because I know |

| 1:42.0 | going to save you a whole bunch of time. And she said, |
| 1:45.7 | thank you. So today it's just me. And today, what I have for you is a murder that happened on Cape Cod |
| 1:54.0 | on December 25, 1857. But none of the papers reporting on it really remarked on it as a Christmas tragedy, |
| 2:03.5 | because at the time there were still plenty of people who had no interest in celebrating Christmas, |
| 2:10.2 | including New England's founding mothers and fathers, the Puritans. |
| 2:15.4 | But I'm getting ahead of myself. |
