On this week’s episode of The Waves, we’re bringing out the dead girls. Everywhere you look in popular culture there seems to be a new movie, TV show or true crime documentary detailing the mystery of yet another woman’s death. At least, that was how author and guest <a href="https://alicebolin.com/">Alice Bolin</a> saw things when she wrote her book <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/dead-girls-alice-bolin?variant=32217989677090">Dead Girls</a> in 2018. She sits down with Slate senior producer <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Cheyna-Roth/169606227">Cheyna Roth </a>to unpack what has - and hasn’t - changed in dead girl culture (from Twin Peak’s Laura Palmer to our persistent obsession with Elizabeth Short aka The Black Dahlia) and what this fixation says about all of us.In Slate Plus: What was really going on inside the Playboy Mansion. If you liked this episode, check out: <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/the-waves/2023/05/renaissance-female-anti-heroes-shows-like-fleabag-killing-eve-unlikable-women">I Don’t Care If You Like Me</a>Podcast production by Cheyna Roth with editorial oversight by Daisy Rosario and Alicia Montgomery.Send your comments and recommendations on what to cover to<a href="mailto:thewaves@slate.com"> thewaves@slate.com</a>.Slate Plus members get bonus segments and ad-free podcast feeds.
