Grab your blue skunk and have a seat, we're here to break your hearts again! This week, Sparkie heads back to her hometown and talks about (possibly) the worst thing to be famous for; America's largest mass execution. Don't be a Thomas and cry in this episode, though. Or do. It's cathartic, and we won't judge.
If this subject is something you feel strongly about, please consider donating to charity. <3
