Plant Murder is a podcast that unearths the deadly intersection of plants and true crime. Each episode delves into the dark history behind fascinating plants, their fatal impact on infamous figures, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding their use. Did a Roman Emperor really die from a tiny mushroom? Why did the Victorians invent a deadly pear? Who in the Borgias brandished Belladonna and which man-eating plants are only a myth? Discover the sinister side of nature’s flora.
