We had a good run of fun, light-hearted topics, didn't we? That means we're overdue for an episode about something pretty awful. This week, Hannah tells Katy the first part of the story of Andrei Chikatilo, AKA: The Butcher of Rostov. And if the name didn't give it away, he wasn't a nice guy. The girls talk puberty, stinky feet, and a Charlie Bucket-esque childhood, and also touch on some of the horrific things Andrei did to earn his nickname (there's a reason this is a two-parter).
It's a dark one, but we hope you'll still listen! Maybe grab a drink, or an emotional support friend/pet/plushie?
