Bad ElizabethBad Elizabeths throughout history Author: Jett Road Studios
Jett Road Studios presents "Bad Elizabeth" a comedic true crime podcast hosted by friends and former The Daily Show with Jon Stewart office mates, Gideon Evans and Kathy Egan-Taylor. The premise is as simple as it sounds - each episode explores the story of an Elizabeth (or any derivation of that name) who is notorious; be they a murderer, a fraudster, or just a complete a-hole. These women span both past and present, in pop culture, and world history. Gideon & Kathy guide you through these sordid and outrageous tales breezily, as if you were a guest at a fun cocktail party. Season 1 Elizabeths profiled include famed axe-wielder Lizzie Borden, imprisoned Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, the ruthless Queen Elizabeth I, and the bloodthirsty Hungarian Countess, Elizabeth Bathory. Gideon and Kathy explore the misdeeds of the Elizabeths in question, and determine whether they deserve to be called "bad". Each episode also features a special guest, be it an expert, actor, author, or an actual living and breathing Elizabeth (a good one). Evans and Egan-Taylor dont harbor any resentment against Elizabeths - many of whom they hope to woo as listeners - however, there are a lot of them out there who are objectively shitty (we all know at least one).

Bad Elizabeth - Betty Broderick with Griffin Matthews
Episode 7
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
This episode Kathy and Gideon look at Elizabeth "Betty" Broderick whose case was chewed over by Daytime Television hosts of the 1980s like Oprah Winfrey and supermarket tabloids. Elizabeth and Dan Broderick were the couple who seemed to have it all, but once infidelity became an issue in the marriage, all hell broke loose. Betty stalked and terrorized Dan and his new girlfriend including driving her car into a house. It all ended in violence and America became obsessed with the case and consumed multiple television series and podcasts for decades after it all occurred. What is it about this case that fascinates Americans, is there something relatable or universal about the players or do Americans just love to see rich, good looking, people go down.Our special guest is Griffin Matthews (the Flight Attendant, You, Dear White People), joining us from Madrid. His experience playing a Flight Attendant gives him special insight into that world, which is pertinent, since one of the victims was a Delta Flight Attendant. In dissecting the particulars, Griffin brings up another famous Elizabeth: Elizabeth Edwards, who took credit for building her husbands career. We also discuss with Griffin what it's like being an American transplant in Europe as well as acting in Spinal Tap 2.----------------------------------------Hosted by Gideon Evans & Kathy Egan-TaylorProducer & Engineer: Will Becton / Executive Producer: Amber BectonTheme Song Composed by Alexis Cuadrado & Danny GrayRecorded @ Jett Road Studios----------------------------------------Sources:Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Storyhttps://www.netflix.com/title/80241855It Was Simple: The Betty Broderick Murdershttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/it-was-simple-the-betty-broderick-murders/id1513430448Dirty John: Betty: The Betty Broderick Story (podcast)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-john-season-2-the-podcast/id1513500047The Betty Broderick Story: A Woman Scornedhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dirty-john-season-2-the-podcast/id1513500047Telling On Myself by Betty Broderickhttps://a.co/d/9QOp9sCOprah interviews Betty Broderickhttps://a.co/d/9QOp9sCFatal Attraction https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0B8SWV9Q3/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rOne Angry Betty - LA Magazinehttps://lamag.com/crimeinla/one-angry-betty1/----------------------------------------Jett Road Studios - Website - YouTube - Instagram - SubstackBad Elizabeth - Instagram - YouTube - Substack
