Summary

This week, Sara and Danny are back to cover the story of Delia Owens, the author of best-selling book turned movie Where The Crawdads Sing. They talk about Owens' involvement in battles against poachers in Zambia, which allegedly turned murderous in the 90's. They also talk about parallels that the book shares with the real life story, and Delia's family's connection to the events. To end the show, they test their knowledge on infamously poor book turned movies adaptations that missed the mark. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
