Like, broadly speaking, if you're an American woman and you're not insane in the 1920s and 30s, then like you're not aware of what's going on.

Welcome to your wrong about. I'm Sarah Marshall, and this week we are, of course, investigating

the insanity defense, the law, the myth, the legend, with McKenzie Joy Brennan. McKenzie was last

with us for our episode. Has the Supreme Court always been this terrible?

McKenzie is a lawyer and legal analyst and would like to tell us that since we last talk,

the Supreme Court has also shown us that it can get even more terrible.

So we should also probably have her back on to talk about that too.

But in the meantime, this episode really does have

so many stories within it. A Great Depression-era woman facing off against the electric chair,

Jody Foster, and of course, Ronald Reagan. McKenzie is also joining us for an upcoming bonus episode. I can't wait. And if you

haven't listened to our bonus episodes, you should check them out sometime. We have had some

really fun stuff lately, including a discussion of beyond belief, fact or fiction with Chelsea

Weber Smith, and a conversation about Bigfoot,

my favorite cryptid, with our inconvenient mammal correspondent, Lulu Miller.

And that's your introduction.

This is a law episode.

It's a history episode.

We're so happy to share these stories with you and to

keep on learning about the legal world, which tries to make us feel dumb so we don't notice

what people are up to. But with a little bit of vocabulary and with a great guest like McKenzie,

we can learn to understand the world we're in. And let's go do it together.

Welcome to your wrong about the podcast where we talk about topics that you grow up hearing on
