An Assassin in Utopia with Susan Wels

Sharon McMahon

Feb 24, 2023

Joining Sharon on Here’s Where It Gets Interesting is Susan Wels, whose new true crime book, An Assassin in Utopia, proves that real life really is stranger than fiction. Stay tuned as we dive into the intimacies of the utopian Oneida cult community–its famous members, its principles, and the unthinkable murder that tarnished its reputation… but not its silverware.

Please note that this episode contains mature content and may not be suitable for young children.

Thank you to our guest, Susan Wels.
