{"store":{"customizeEditHighlightKey":null,"customizeEditingSectionKey":null,"customizeScrollToKey":null,"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Doppelnamers","slug":"doppelnamers","podcastDescription":"Doppelnamers connects the dots between strangers who share the same name. This 11-part podcast tells the story of a pioneer named Elizabeth Russell who was tried for murder in Eau Claire, Wisconsin in 1892. Elizabeth’s story has endless parallels to issues that plague our society today: misogyny; corruption; misinformation; anti-immigrant sentiment; mob mentality; body autonomy; the abuse of sexual power. In addition to Elizabeth’s unbelievable story, we’ll catch a glimpse of late 19th-century life in rural Wisconsin. And spoiler alert: history can be funny. Host Elizabeth (TS) Russell tells the story to co-hosts Mary Jeanne Stead and Cathy Boyle Almeida, who meet the characters and hear the tale for the first time, right along with the listeners.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/17856454/DOPPELNAMERS_LOGO8m9yx.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/17856454/DOPPELNAMERS_LOGO8m9yx_1200x628.jpg?s=5fcb69334b5f0769454b80b04bd58acc&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://www.doppelnamers.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://www.doppelnamers.com/feed.xml","theme":"waves","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-cbjag-11077c6?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":11,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Elizabeth T Russell","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-cbjag-11077c6-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":900,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doppelnamers/id1793939612","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"YouTube","link":"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnOdeQBMNok1hv_R82GrTDv4pruT6g_NX","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/youtube_logo.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-cbjag-11077c6?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/75s2WNhUYCsFqL7QGXI5vd","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/14369940-d6ed-4210-96a4-609b45dde70c","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/263485728","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/doppelnamers-5980090","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null},{"name":"BoomPlay","link":"https://www.boomplaymusic.com/podcasts/129458","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/BoomPlay.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#3A61B9"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

All Episodes Are Now Available

Doppelnamers is now officially bingeable!

Episodes 10 and 11 went live on March 4, 2025, revealing Elizabeth's fate.

For 100+ years Elizabeth was branded a murderer for no good reason other than daring to be independent and authentically herself. Please help us smash that narrative and elevate the true story, by spreading the word about Doppelnamers, and leaving reviews.

Thank you!
