This! When people ask me for one of my fave interviews, this one ALWAYS seeps into the conversation. True story: we had to scrap the original becuuse Pat was outside, and the wind noise cut into our chat. He graciously obliged for a re-do, and told even MORE stories, which you get right here!

True crime time again, Rebels! And what an ideal way to round out Season 13 with a true crime story that has to be heard to be believed. Like so many of the authors that I've interviewed, you can hear how much time and research DeLani put into creating her book. And who knew that she was an 80's fan, like me? So if you like your true crime with a side of political intrigue (or extra pepperoni), be sure tio grab a copy of The Dumon...

This interview is a treat for all of you true crime aficionados. I really enjoyed speaking with BR, who, as I mentioned, has also written in numerous genres in addition to her true crime books. The story is well-told, also giving attention to the victims in this heinous murderous spree. We even get into a bit of the "true crime psychology". Not the psychology of me. This is true crime, and we already did a sci-fi episode. So have a...

Ready for a sci-fi podcast? I don't think I've interviewed anyone in my well-over-300 episode career (?)podcasting, with a serialized sci-fi podcast. Devin certainly brings with him an interesting personal story, along with the plot for his podcast. I found it on Spotify, and it truly is very unique, and in a good way. If that's you gig, jam, or bag, go check out Chemical Rocketeers Podcast.Thanks for coming on the show, Devin, an...
