Criminal Broads blends true crime storytelling with deep historical research to spotlight women throughout history who defied the law—con artists, outlaws, cult leaders, and murderers alike. Hosted by Tori Telfer, author of "Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History," the show combines meticulous research with a witty, conversational tone, unpacking the social and cultural contexts that shaped these women's criminal lives. Episodes often unfold in multi-part arcs, diving into figures like Belle Starr and lesser-known criminals such as Cherie Rhoades, exploring themes of power, gender, family dynamics, and myth-making. The podcast appeals to listeners fascinated by true crime, feminist history, and the untold stories of women who broke societal norms—offering a mix of dark humor, scholarly insight, and dramatic storytelling that distinguishes it from more clinical true crime shows.
