Massage parlors in Madison, Wisconsin of the 1970s and 80s were red hot and ice cold. Muriel greases us up with a classic tale of orgies, murders, Quaaludes, and the evil side of biochemistry. Barbara Hoffman was a brilliant scientist in the streets and a freak in the sheets. However you like it, steamy or frozen solid, this episode has it all. Muriel's primary source is "Winter of Frozen Dreams" by Karl Harter. If you appreciate our independent endeavor, please check us out on ⁠Patreon⁠ or ⁠Spotify⁠.
