You should also check out John Safran’s “True Crime,” a six episode podcast consisting of John’s interviews with true crime writers like John Behrendt and Ann Rule, talking about how difficult and crazy writing about murderers is.

Speaking of murderers, you’re probably wondering where Mike is. Well, he’s where he always is, but he probably enjoyed his week off.
