Summary

Madalyn Murray O’Hair, was a woman very not of her time. In buttoned-up 50s America she called herself a militant feminist, a thinker and a drinker and - perhaps most heinous of all: an atheist.

Her provocative ways quickly gained her the illustrious title of "the most hated woman in America". She was so hated in fact that in 1995 when she, her son and her granddaughter went missing no one really seemed to care - that is until in 2001 when their dismembered bodies were found on a ranch in Texas...

0:00.0	Prime members, you can listen to Redhanded early and ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the app today.
0:16.0	I'm Hannah, I'm Suryte, and welcome to a Spring thing in Redhanded.
0:20.0	Spring things, by long-wannity.
0:22.0	Yes, a smobbling in Redhanded.
0:24.0	So, something like that.
0:26.0	It's going to be a good one, but before we get there,
0:28.0	I have a question to ask you listeners. Did you just listen to some ads before you got here
0:34.0	to our lovely voices? Most of you probably did, right? Well, for just $2 a month, you could get access to our main episodes every single week,
0:43.0	a whole day early and ad-free. For $5 a month, you could get the early ad-free episodes and a monthly episode of what we call in the news,
0:53.0	where we basically discuss like more topical cases. For example, last month, we covered those tick-tockers
0:59.0	who found that suitcase at the beach with two dead bodies in it, and the case of an in-cell who blew his hand off trying to build a bomb.
1:07.0	You'll also get weekly under the duvet episodes, which you may have seen sort of floating about on social media snippets of them.
1:15.0	Basically, I guess I described them as a bit like a post-recording after party where Hannah and I just kind of talk shit for a bit.
1:22.0	It's fun though. Talk about hints, talk about vomiting out windows, that sort of thing, you know.
1:29.0	Just good, clean fun, really, to cheer ourselves all up after cases where we just talk about horrible murders.
1:35.0	And then, if you're like, maybe I could use a bit more of a smattering, a splattering, a smothering of red handed.
1:42.0	Well, for $10 a month, you could get all of those things I just listed.
1:46.0	Plus, a full length bonus episode every single month, as well as monthly video content featuring our not often very beautiful faces, usually just tired looking, hot looking faces.
1:59.0	Sometimes drunk looking faces. Did you see that someone posted an Instagram that, oh, that is a really terrible screenshot of Hannah?
2:06.0	I was like, oh, cheers, girl supporting girls, thank you so much for pointing out, I know I look like shit, you don't need to comment on it and tell me all about it.
2:13.0	I was very tired. I know you were and I really did try to go through and find a screenshot where we all looked relatively normal.
2:20.0	It was just really hard and it was buffering very slowly. So I was like, look, I've given myself five minutes to do this, this is what's happening.
