The
Lizzie Borden Podcast is written and produced by
Richard Behrens and
Nine Muses Books,
Episode One: The Doggerel (recorded in
2011) provides an insight into the famous "jump rope" song about Lizzie Borden ("Lizzie Borden took an ax, etc."), its history, its mystery and its legacy in our cultural imagination.
Fall River historian and Lizzie Borden scholar Dr. Stefani Koorey and actress/playwright Jill
Dalton join us to discuss this naughtily inaccurate ditty. More information on The Lizzie Borden Podcast can be found at
