Father-daughter duo Mike Norlen and Macy Norlen Burkett are the hosts of Cocktails of Crime and Fashion: a new true crime/historical podcast. Each week, they’ll tell you the story of an infamous murder or crime from the Jazz Age to the Present. They’ll also tell you about the fashion that was in vogue at that time and how it played a role in the crimes. At the start of each episode, they’ll introduce a themed cocktail and tell you how to find the recipe. They hope you’ll make yourself the cocktail of the week, get comfortable, and enjoy their conversations on crime and fashion.
