WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED is a first of its kind True Crime podcast from Audio Up and Grinning Dog that features renowned serial killer profiler Phil Chalmers. Each episode features Phil conducting behind bars interviews with incarcerated psychopathic serial killers. His unprecedented connections within the prison system coupled with his law enforcement relationships and the entrusted “friendships” he's made with notorious killers provides this series access to information thought otherwise impossible to obtain. Producers Samantha Gutstadt and Adam Kaloustian join Phil and offer the listeners a unique perspective when Phil shares details with them that are as intriguing as they are horrific.

    Ivy Insights

    The Where the Bodies Are Buried podcast is truly captivating. Hosted by Phil Chalmers, the show delves into the minds of serial killers through interviews conducted by Chalmers himself. As I had the chance to meet Phil in person, I can attest to his calm demeanor and genuine curiosity that shines through in each episode. His early career experiences have undoubtedly prepared him for this unique role as an interviewer in the true crime genre.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Phil's ability to maintain a non-judgmental stance during his conversations with these criminals. He allows them to speak openly without interruption or imposing his own opinions. This approach provides listeners with a chilling insight into the twisted minds of these individuals, allowing us to better understand the motivations and thought processes behind their heinous acts.

    However, this approach also brings up one of the worst aspects of the podcast. At times, it feels as though Phil allows the interviewees to shift blame onto external factors such as movies, society, or their own victims. This can be disrespectful to both the victims and their families who have endured unimaginable pain. While it is important to gain rapport with these criminals for investigative purposes, it would be beneficial if Phil were to provide more commentary challenging their perspectives and holding them accountable.

    In conclusion, The Where the Bodies Are Buried podcast is a gripping and unique addition to the true crime genre. It sheds light on horrifying crimes while also aiming to assist in solving cold cases and bringing justice to victims. Despite its few flaws, it remains an engrossing listen for true crime enthusiasts who enjoy diving deep into the minds of serial killers. I eagerly anticipate future episodes and hope that they continue their impactful work in raising awareness and understanding surrounding these disturbing crimes.

    Anthony Scaramucci and Sam Bankman-Fried were the unlikeliest of business partners. “The Mooch” is a nearly sixty-year-old son of a Long Island crane operator who sprung from Harvard Law to fight his way up the ranks of traditional finance with an infamous eleven-day stint in the White House along the way. “SBF” is a newly-thirty-year-old son of two law professors raised on an elite campus who aimed to revolutionize all that people like the Mooch represented and he'd already become a multi-billionaire on the way. But partner they did – on a series of conferences and with SBF closing a deal that could have led to his owning the Mooch's Skybridge Partners outright - but they became something more than that and before the story ends with SBF in handcuffs, their friendship would take them everywhere from the Bahamas to Riyadh – with  rumors of polycules, plentiful cups of noodles, and the Mooch toting a bag of suits he bought SBF out of instance that he could not meet the rules of Saudi Arabia in a worn out t-shirt and dirty white socks.
