River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

Welcome back to Death by Champagne, the podcast here to keep you up at night! This week we bring you our next multi-part series. This one won’t be nearly as long as our last, we promise. In this episode we introduce our killer, Ira Einhorn, and he is a character. We dive into his life growing up a genius and end with his first attempt at graduate school. We also give you a brief history on the counterculture of the 60’s and 70’s, and how that environment gave Ira a platform to stand on. We also touch on his violent nature towards women, especially women who turn him down, that will become a pivotal point in our story in later episodes.
This episode contains foul language, discussions about misogyny, violence towards women, and a lot about the 60’s and 70’s. We’ll do our best to stay on track, but the bottles are popped!
