Cursewords and Crayons
We're out here raising humans and finding our people- one curse word and true crime case dive at a time.
Listen on:
We're glad you're here friend!
Thank you for coming to our little corner of the internet. We are two moms, Zee and Amy, taking it day by day. If you like True Crime, speculating wildly and not taking yourself too seriously...you've come to the right place! Welcome bestie!
Here you'll find:
* A new true crime case covered every week.
* A parenting episode once a month where we come together to talk the struggles, wins and WTFs.
What kind of cases do we cover?
* All kinds! We cover everything from older cases (think 1800s) to newer and lesser known cases. Cults, pop culture and everything in between. Have a suggestion? Hit us up!

People really did Lucrezia Borgia and the rumors were REALLY flying! Last week we talked about Lydia Sherman and during our deep dive we really grew to appreciate her "predecessor" Lucrezia Borgia. This is a lighter episode where we take it ALL the way back to the 1400s and talk all about our girl LB! Come hang out with us on Instagram!
