Ovaries And Oddities

For centuries, two of history’s most powerful dynasties kept their bloodlines pure by keeping them closed: uncle married niece, brother married sister, cousin married cousin. This episode traces that strategy across two continents, the Habsburgs of Spain and Austria, and the Ptolemies of Egypt. 

A king who couldn’t chew his own food and a dynasty that murdered its way through its own family tree while handing women unprecedented power. 

This is a story about what happens when power decides it would rather collapse than share.

Their jaw bones glowed in the dark. That’s phossy jaw, and it’s just the start of this episode. This week we’re opening up four diseases that didn’t just kill people, they reshaped labor law, colonial policy, religious doctrine, and royal behavior: phossy jaw, smallpox, leprosy, and the sweating sickness that vanished from history without ever being identified. Industrial poison, biological warfare, social exile, and a mystery epidemic that came for kings. Grab your headphones and get comfortable, this one’s a lot.

Imagine having to undergo surgery in the 1800s. No anesthesia and your survival rate less than 50%.

Between your doctor not sanitizing anything ,including not washing his hands between surgeries, gangrene or other infections, and blood loss. It was an uphill battle. Plus pain medicine may or may not have been a bottle of brandy.

Would you survive the operating table?

12 ships docked in Sicily but most of the sailors were dead. Over the next 5 years between 20-50 million people died of this mysterious plague. Waking up with a fever where your skin is burning, your body is shaking, your head feels like it’s splitting open, and then all of your lymph nodes are the size of eggs.

Within days, that lump could turn black. Your fingers, toes, lips, or nose could darken. And in medieval Europe, there was no urgent care or antibiotics.

So today we’re talking about the Black Death

In this episode of Ovaries & Oddities, we’re diving into the horrors of Victorian London, from arsenic wallpaper and poisonous beauty products to deadly sewage, contaminated drinking water, cholera outbreaks, overcrowded streets, workhouses, doss houses, the four-penny coffin, and the infamous two-penny hangover.

The Victorian era gave us some of the most iconic aesthetics in history, but behind the pretty dresses and gothic architecture was a city filled with poverty, disease, pollution, human waste, toxic products, and social systems that punished people simply for being poor.

Today we are going back to 1828 Edinburgh, Scotland! Where two men Burke & Hare turn death into a business. Killing 16 people, 12 women, 2 disabled children, and 2 men. They had a strict method and lured vulnerable individuals into their lodges, with the promise of a safe place to stay and alcohol. Why did they do this? They sold the bodies, for 7-10 pounds, for dissection. Do you think there were more than 16 victims?

Imagine going to the doctor for anxiety…

and leaving with an ice pick shoved through your eye socket.

In the 1940s and 50s, this wasn’t a horror movie plot. It was a medical procedure performed tens of thousands of times across the United States, often on women, children, and people who were simply considered “difficult.”

Rosemary Kennedy, president john f. Kennedys sister, had this procedure done on her to fix her mood swings and ended up permanently disabled. She was then left to rot in an institution for the rest of her life.

If you didn’t guess it by now… Today we’re talking about the terrifying history of lobotomies.

Before Jack the Ripper prowled the streets of London, another shadow stalked the night deep in the heart of Texas. Between 1884 and 1885, Austin was gripped by fear as an unknown killer began targeting domestic workers, leaving behind brutal scenes and baffling clues.

Angels don't always come with halos. Sometimes they carry syringes. Genene Jones wasn’t just a nurse with a dark side—she was a chilling reminder of what happens when power goes unchecked, when institutions prioritize reputation over responsibility, and when the people meant to heal become the ones who harm. Her story forces us to confront uncomfortable truths: about trust, about blind faith in authority, and about the terrifying ease with which someone can hide behind a smile and a stethoscope. To this day, we may never know the true number of innocent lives lost, which is anywhere from 11-60—but the legacy of her crimes continues to haunt Texas…and the world of medicine at large. In the end, the most horrifying monsters aren’t always the ones lurking in the shadows—they’re the ones we never think to question.

See you next week,

While some dismiss the Bell Witch as nothing more than a Southern ghost story passed down through generations, others are convinced the haunting was very real—and that the land itself still holds a dark energy. Even now, thousands of curious souls make their way to Adams, Tennessee each year, hoping to catch a glimpse of something unexplainable… or at least feel that telltale chill that says they’re not alone.

This is the story of the Bell Witch.

See you next week,

Welcome back to episode 14 of Ovaries and Oddities! I A serial killer terrorized couples in the bordering little crime ridden city of Texarkana. 4 couples were attacked but only 5 victims were brutally slain.

The attacks, which occurred between February and May, targeted young couples in secluded areas, leaving five dead and three injured.

The crimes left the community in a state of fear, with residents arming themselves, implementing curfews, and avoiding nighttime outings. Law enforcement, including the Texas Rangers, launched an extensive but ultimately unsuccessful investigation, adding to the growing paranoia.

These infamous crimes are surrounded by mystery and conspiracy theories—The Black Dahlia, The Zodiac Killer, and Dyatlov Pass. Did police cover up the gruesome 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short to protect a Hollywood elite? Could a yeti be responsible for the mysterious deaths of nine Russian hikers in 1959? Was the Zodiac Killer actually multiple killers—or even someone within law enforcement?
