Correspondence: Writer Lauren Coontz on archeology, fairy tales, and the Manson family murders

Lauren Coontz is an Army veteran who studied anthropology in college before deciding to become a journalist. She’s also a fairy tale enthusiast, which is what we planned to spend the bulk of the episode discussing, but we went off on a million tangents including human sacrifice, her least favorite sergeant and his inappropriate shorts, and how prosecutors may have screwed up the investigation into infamous murderer Charles Manson.

As a warning, Lauren quite possibly swears more than any guest we’ve had on yet, so if that offends you, f*** off.
