Finally people who agree My Favorite Murder is gross. When I discovered it was a thing I had to sit and let it sink in that this was a thing now. Gross. Not a fan of CrimeCon either. I’m personally fascinated by the investigations themselves, and how small “let’s try this” ideas for finding a lead cracks a case wide open. I also take seriously that when we read/watch/listen to these stories we’re bearing witness. BTW Nancy, you’re book is now on my To Read shelf.
The idea of being able to extend your legs is a tad appealing to me right now. The coverage seems to focus the benefits for a guy’s height complex, but I’m thinking about it from the prospective of someone who has one leg shorter than the other due to scoliosis. You couldn’t tell by looking at me, it’s “slight” enough, but as I get older and continue to try to run and hike, the it’s taken a serious toll on my back. If it were more affordable, and not so new, and my ortho thought it would help, I’d consider it for sure.
Reading articles like this makes me raise an eyebrow at all my neighbors. How sad and creepy. Looks like he’s actually been convicted now thank goodness.
I am listening to these podcasts all out of order (and loving them.) This talk about River Phoenix, my first fan-love, is crushing, as is all of this chat about men and how weird and challenging these relationships can be.I would never have paid attention to Depp-Heard, but it was riveting here. Thank you. Keep talking. <3
The inclusion of Helter Skelter on Nancy’s list reminded me of how, when I read it like 30 yrs ago, I started it at 11pm one night when I was going to be home alone all night. The book starts with a discovery of the grisly Tate crime scene. I had to turn all the lights on in the house.
Escape at Dannemora is definitely worth watching! It’s not my normal lane so it took a friend hounding me for about six months to watch it but I binged it in one night and LOVED it! Recommend!
Have either of you read either of Bill James’ crime books? (Nancy, has Matt harassed you yet about reading them? I’ll be very disappointed with him if the answer is no.) if not, you should - especially his second book “The Man From the Train.”
Bill James is the guru of baseball statistical analysis, whose analytical and writing styles had enormous influence on a disproportionate number of Gen X men you meet on the Internet. (Matt Welch is a proud example.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_James?wprov=sfti1
Stop Being so Thirsty 😂😂 made me laugh out loud on my commute!

You ladies pack so much into an episode!
Sarah will know about this case, but sometimes Denial isn't a river in Egypt. https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/12/cold-case-suspect-had-well-known-criminal-tendencies-over-last-37-years/
Oof, that case, you could write a book about it (and maybe you should?). And hi, Jennifer, good to see you around here! (This is Sarah obviously.)
am working on finding an agent for the book! I'm revising my proposal. Sarah, would you mind giving a blurb for it when the time comes?

Love you two together. Please, maybe, talk about this incident in your next podcast: https://deadline.com/2022/05/frank-langella-refutes-allegations-of-unacceptable-behavior-fired-by-netflix-1235017544/

This is Sarah, but I've never even heard of him. Do tell more.

In the past decade, James wrote two true crime books: Popular Crime: Reflections on the Celebration of Violence https://www.amazon.com/dp/141655274X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HJ70VB32HQQEPWZ7T5KQ - an overview of sensational crimes throughout US history, and The Man from the Train: Discovering America's Most Elusive Serial Killer https://www.amazon.com/dp/1476796262/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_SX8WS0BN8GSD4MH9TRJP - about the most prolific serial killer in US history, from the early 20th century. The latter book both connects a host of murders to the same killer and identifies the killer.
