Dr. Amy Bishop

In this week’s episode, we cover an unfortunately common type of crime, a workplace mass homicide, in an unusual location: a college campus. Did Dr. Bishop really “snap” because she was denied tenure, or were commenters using a sensational story to draw attention to one of America’s strangest employment practices?

(Content note: This episode contains discussion of a mass shooting in a workplace, an attempted bombing, and a shooting in a private home)
