Behind the magic of The Wizard of Oz lies a story far darker than the yellow brick road suggests. In the latest episode of the Curious Travels podcast by the Morbid Travel Guide, entitled “The Wonderful Women of Oz,” we uncover the force of Maud Gage Baum, the resilient wife who shaped her husband’s work, and the tragic struggles of Judy Garland, forever tied to Dorothy’s ruby slippers. Together, we’ll journey to the final resting places of the first and Second Lady of OZ. 

We also expose the hidden dangers of the film itself, where enchanting fantasy was built on life-threatening and often horrifying conditions. Step behind the curtain and discover how Oz has always belonged to its women, and how their haunting legacies still echo just beyond the rainbow.
