Opera lovers, awkward beans, and true crime fans (the study of true crime, not the committing of) Rachel Olsen and Hannah Wallis take a bi-weekly look at some of the silliest and strangest crimes. This is the podcast where it's ok to bully criminals (just for the crimes and not for being who they are) and take a deep dive into crimes with a twist. Grab a cup of English breakfast, kick back at work, and join us as we explore the ridiculous side of the criminal world. (Theos Wallis edits, but he's shy so we pretend he's not part of this.)
Hello, friends! Today we discuss a plethora of subjects ranging from footie pajamas, the perfect cup of tea, a really weird murder, and the least creative novelist known to mankind.
It's our first episode! Welcome to our podcast as we discuss the worst hitmen known to mankind, the Excedrin murders, and the sweetest criminal with so much holiday cheer he made our cold hearts grow two sizes too large.
