It was more traditional to eat your ice cream with strawberries as a topping....however, this day celebrates strawberries in their ice cream. Strawberry ice cream is made by blending either strawberries or strawberry flavoring with eggs, cream, vanilla, and sugar. Food coloring is often used to give it the pink or light red hue. Ice cream remained a treat for the upper classes until a Swiss entrepreneur by the name of Carlo Gatti set up an ice cream stand in London in 1851. It was very difficult to store ice at that time but Gatti built an “ice well” in which he stored the ice that he procured from the Regent's Canal. but we have Nancy Johnson from Philadelphia was the first American to patent a hand-cranked ice cream maker, while Agnes Marshall also patented a similar machine in England. so if you're looking for an excuse to have some strawberry ice cream or sorbet...today is the day.

TIMESTAMPS (6:27) Charlotte Sena Update (10:37) Moms Who Murder About 2.5% of all homicide arrests in the United States are for parents who have killed their children. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss ‘Moms Who Murder' cases that have happened in the past few months. Earlier in 2023, Tiffanie Lucas wrote on social media that her sons were “always together” and “never apart,” adding that together they were three souls and one heart. She added that she wouldn't know “how to smile, love, or survive if it wasn't for them.”  In November 2023, Tiffanie alleged shot her sons in their head while they lay in their beds.   Brandy McCaslin had been struggling with her mental health and had attempted to take her life earlier this year.  When her three children were taken to her home for a supervised visit, she ended up killing them before taking her own life. Nancy Johnson and her husband Derek had been having marital issues this year.  The family had moved interstate due to the cost of living.  By September 2023, the couple had separated and would take turns living in the family home with their two young children.  Derek broke into the home after he noticed there had been no movement from inside for a period of time.  He discovered the lifeless bodies of his two young children and of his estranged wife.  According to police, Nancy had orchestrated the scene to look like a triple homicide in the hope that police would think Derek was involved.  Law enforcement have ruled this case a murder/suicide.  Read our blogs for these cases - here.

"You know why we, uh why we like to be hugged? The way I see it, it sets a limit on the pain. You know? Puts a perimeter around it." The OA's Chapter 7 episode, "Empire of Light" continues the story all in the present day, as OA receives another terrible dream or possible premonition while dealing with the potential trauma she might've caused to her adoptive parents, Abel and Nancy Johnson, that fateful day she left over 7 years ago. In the mean time, the Crestwood 5 is working on perfecting the movements for interdimensional travel while Steve's horrific actions has finally caught up to him.  Although the entirety of "Empire of Light" stays within the present timeline in which we don't get to see what happens to Homer, Renata, Scott, and Rachel, we get an emotionally resonant episode about dealing with our past traumas and how that festers into our current daily lives. The chemistry between Phyllis Smith's BBA and Patrick Gibson's Steve soars here with such tidy and timely humor albeit in a very serious situation. The conclusion to the episode is incredibly chilling because of how high the emotional stakes are, especially considering that this may be the last time we get to hear The OA tell her story.  "Tonight, I will finish telling my story. Are you ready?"

Today we're joined by Nancy Johnson, author of the debut novel THE KINDEST LIE. This novel centers Ruth Tuttle, an Ivy league-educated Black engineer, who returns to small town Indiana in search of the baby she left behind, and to uncover the secrets surrounding this painful choice. Set in the early days of the Obama administration, THE KINDEST LIE explores division and the effects of the 2008 recession in a “post-racial society”. The novel is warm, insightful, and explores very real characters with a great deal of nuance. Nancy speaks to her experiences as a young Black girl, never quite finding literature that reflected her reality. This brought her to Toni Morrison as an adult, specifically Morrison's debut novel THE BLUEST EYE. This classic features Pecola Breedlove, a young Black girl that observes the poor way she's treated in a world that prizes beauty and whiteness, and the resulting feelings become a yearning for blue eyes. With exquisite prose, a fascinating framing device, and multidimensional characters, Morrison's debut established her as one of America's preeminent writers. In this episode Johnson shares her wisdom on many other topics, such as sharing a birthday with your literary idol, a complicated experience of the 2008 election, how white writers should approach writing characters of color, and so much more.
