4/3/2024: On today’s episode, Valerie’s Timeline Twist features how José Cuervo got its start, 18th century cooking with an irritated Sarah Phillips, in the The Ladies Handmaid, and Perrott’s Folly, a building that inspired a beloved high fantasy novel nearly two centuries later. Amy Jo tells the story that created The Screaming Spectre of Farringdon Station - the ghastly murder of Anne Naylor and her little sister by their mentors Sarah Metyard and her daughter Sally Metyard, as well as the justice that followed.
