    Quite possibly the worst crime related podcast available, and that’s saying a lot!

  • Needs a new host

    The guests that come on this show are great but this show needs a new host. The host doesn’t add much to the show.

  • Unique conversations about books and writing

    Alan does a great job of getting to an author’s motivation for writing a book and what they hope to achieve from their work. The non-fiction, true crime perspective that he brings to interviewing fiction authors makes for a unique conversation that highlights the need for research and careful story development in both fiction and non-fiction.

    These losers put their politics into every episode but yet they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, so incredibly stupid.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Erik D'Souza (Death on the Rocks)& Nick Cutter(Dorians)
Q: How do you build suspense or how do you build tension in a Cozy?
D'Souza says cozy mysteries prioritize a fair puzzle over intense suspense. Readers should be able to assess the suspects and clues, then understand how the solution follows from them.
Erik D'Souza (Death on the Rocks)& Nick Cutter(Dorians)
Q: What's the basic storyline here?
The Dorians follows five elderly Canadians who have consented to medically assisted death and are offered a chance to stave off death and potentially regain their youth.
John Winn Miller(Mariam in the Shadows) & Royce Wilson (Atropos)
Q: How did you relate, as an author and a person, as you were researching and writing the Holocaust portions of the book?
Miller researched the experiences of Jewish communities in Europe, including the differences between Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews. He described the material as gut-wrenching and said it was important to portray the gradual persecution and realities of the Holocaust rather than shy away from them.
John Winn Miller(Mariam in the Shadows) & Royce Wilson (Atropos)
Q: What got you into writing?
After decades in journalism and unsuccessful screenwriting attempts, Miller began writing the novel he had long wanted to write during the COVID-19 pandemic. He had spent years learning about writing and drew on his reporting experience to create his historical fiction.
Robyn Gigl - All We Hide
Q: Do you think that cold cases, particularly cold cases of where the victim was queer, carry a particular weight or other element?
Gigl says queer victims and other marginalized people can receive less investigative attention, particularly in communities that are not LGBTQ-friendly. She notes that Venus Extravaganza's murder remains unsolved and that many murders of transgender women, especially women of color, also go unsolved.
