Betsy and the Beast: A Season of Foster's Child

Betsy and the Beast is a narrative documentary podcast about identity, inheritance, and access — and the quiet systems that decide who belongs and who does not. Told through court records, headlines, family memory, and silence, the series traces the life and aftermath of Elizabeth "Betsy" Moore Lyon Deutsch Kelley Collabolletta and the legacy inherited by Foster's child. It is true. And there is crime. But this is not a true crime podcast. Each episode explores a single arc, slowly and deliberately — where money moves without names, and where names may or may not afford power, presence or protection.
