2. I Never Told You What the Harpe Bros Do For A Living

Send us a text

It's time for the second epiosde of our second and we're talking about two brothers who didn't deserve any second chances. There are also two of us. There's a 2 thing here somewhere... Anyway, join us for a small dose of what life was like in the Revolutionary War era as we talk vigilante justice and all things gruesome in the poorly documented case of the Harpe Brothers. Spoiler warning: it does get pretty graphic so be wary!
