This year, Pride Season at TDPS is all about visibility, inclusion and respect for LGBT people, three things of which our current political climate is in desperately short supply. Welcome to All About Representation Month, beginning with a supersized True Crime TV Club that's about bringing long overdue justice to the forgotten gay victims of a vicious and prolific serial killer. When queer men started vanishing without a trace from the streets outside popular Indianapolis gay bars in the early 90's, their desperate final hours were eventually traced to a palatial horse farm in a seemingly idyllic suburb. Once there, investigators found what was then the largest repository of human remains in United States history. Was the supposedly upstanding owner of the property a vicious killer? And did he act alone? Christopher and Eric tackle these questions and more as they serve up Episodes 1 and 2 of the Hulu series THE FOX HOLLOW MURDERS: PLAYGROUND OF A SERIAL KILLER.

Every holiday season, your hosts Christopher and Eric search high and low for a holiday themed true crime story that goes easy on the bloodshed. A high-speed chase involving a van full of stolen frozen turkeys, perhaps? No such luck again this year. Once again, we were confronted with the same gory buffet of holiday horrors, giving us no choice but to continue a dark – dare we day black -- TDPS tradition.  In season 4, episode 7 of the Peacock series HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, entitled “Cold Turkey”, Brent and Charlotte Springford have just returned home after a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with their daughter. Unbeknownst to them, a vicious predator awaits them in the shadows of their luxurious Montgomery, Alabama mansion. Black Friday Month continues with the tale of a gruesome murder that was discovered on Black Friday itself.

It's May. Here at TDPS, wedding bells are ringing and true crime victims are screaming.  To pay their own special homage to this season of renewals and nuptials, your bitter old hosts Christopher and Eric kick off our celebration of Couples From Hell Month with Part 1 of a True Crime TV Club installment serving up KEN & BARBIE KILLERS: THE LOST MURDER TAPES on Max. Our tale of marriage and mayhem begins in the Toronto area in the early 90's, where a sexual predator is stalking one of its most peaceful suburbs. As the evil spreads, the trial of clues leads to the doorstep of a charismatic and attractive young couple, Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Is this a story of domestic abuse spiraling out of control? Or is there evil beyond imagining behind closed doors? Christopher and Eric's discussion of episodes 1 and 2 ends with a shocking cliffhanger in this tangled investigation. In our next episode, they serve up the stunning conclusion of what many still describe as Canada's trial of the century.

Clark Williams, our fellow citizen detective at TDPS, returns to round out Citizen Detective Month with another stunning interview, this one focused on a murder that struck close to home for your hosts. In August of 1987 the mutilated remains of eighteen-year-old runaway Tracy Nute were found scattered along Interstate 5 between Los Angeles and Fresno. Meanwhile, an appliance rental company in West Hollywood discovered someone had returned a chainsaw that was flecked with bits of blood and human bone. Were these two horrifying incidents the work of a serial killer preying on young queer men long before Jeffrey Dahmer made headlines for his hideous crimes? With Clark on the case, we're hopeful we'll have answers soon as he applies the Clark Williams Method to another baffling case.

It wouldn't be Citizen Detective Month at TDPS if Christopher and Eric didn't include their very own fellow citizen detective, Clark Williams, the brilliant and determined amateur sleuth who solved the murder of Billy Newton after thirty years. Clark joins the podcast in our Sunset Strip studios to discuss the cold case murders he's been working on since finding justice for Billy. Who abandoned Alice Ellicot's corpse in a Midwestern field? Who ended Talfrieda Covington's life steps from the front door of her own home? We're hopeful Clark's work with local authorities brings justice for these nearly forgotten victims as well.  

            Heartland Horrors Month continues as Christopher and Eric give the coast-hugging, city dwellers among us several good reasons not to leave their urban idylls. And season 5, episode 1 of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS — never a show for the faint of heart — just might take the cake for most gruesome episode in TDPS history. In "The Last Thanksgiving", your hosts are confronted by a crime that is shocking in both its grotesqueness and its competent incompetence, leaving them with stunned questions about the motivations at play, motivations that seem to lie just outside the reach of this hour of television they watched with jaws on the floor and sick bags within reach. Happy Thanksgiving it isn't.  Sorry. Or, you're welcome.

Leave it to Christopher and Eric to come up with reasons *not* to go home for the holidays. That's apparently the objective of Heartland Horrors Month here at TDPS, starting with this twisted tale of double lives and chatty wives. In season 1, episode 6 of MURDER IN THE HEARTLAND entitled, "A Deceitful Heart", we head to a Detroit suburb where everyone's desperate to tell you what a quaint and wholesome town they live in while simultaneously recounting a disturbing tale of addiction, murder and (incompetent) deceit. Quaint is in the eye of the beholder, we guess. Or the guilty. Does "double-life" end up being code for "gay twist"? Follow along with your ever curious hosts to find out.

After another insanely positive quarterly performance, Premier Protein is now the number one brand in convenient nutrition, but it's a recent “under the radar” partnership announcement that has me thinking about a previous crazy prediction I made in early 2021. BellRing Brands (NYSE: BRBR) is a portfolio that owns a collection of convenient nutrition brands like Premier Protein, Dymatize Nutrition, Powerbar, and Joint Juice, which was previously wholly-owned by Post Holdings. A fast-paced and busy lifestyle is pushing consumers to switch to quick and healthy meal options. This has resulted in above average categorical growth rates and increased household penetration of RTD protein shakes that promote active lifestyles. Bellring Brands had a strong Q3 with net sales reaching $445.9 million, which was up 20.3% YoY. Premier Protein (~80% of BellRing Brands total revenue) grew 19.9% YoY, which came from almost equal growth in volume and price. Dymatize Nutrition was up 32.3% YoY stemming from large volume increases. Moreover, I provide two deep dives into the functional CPG portfolio's "hero SKU families" of Premier Protein RTD protein shakes and Dymatize whey protein powders. I also explain why a recent expansion of the co-manufacturing network announcement with SunOpta should have you believing in my $2 billion prediction for Premier Protein. But you might be thinking...why is this important and how does a billion-dollar plus RTD shake product line, that's already the market leader, grow 100s of millions more each year to reach $2 billion in 2025? Few points to make here: (1) this additional manufacturing capacity helps them keep their full lineup of flavors on shelves…and more skus per store and larger TDPs generally equal higher sales. (2) delivering products more efficiently will create cost savings that can be reallocated back into growth activities like marketing. (3) the additional capacity will speed up company backstock replenishment again…which gives the sales and marketing teams more confidence to get aggressive on growth activities that increase velocity in the short-term. Finally, more manufacturing capacity allows for innovation aggressiveness when format would the same as top-sellers. What I mean by that is…if Premier Protein had a new plant-based protein innovation they believe is a winner, but no capacity for its already winning proven products…they would be gun shy on launching that. So, as you can see…there's A LOT more upside in the brand!

Toxic Love Month continues with the second in Christopher and Eric's "true crime pairing" charting the long fall of one of the music industry's most influential producers. On this episode, they serve you a True Crime Movie time featuring David Mamet's version of the Phil Spector murder trial. PHIL SPECTOR was met with Emmy nominations when it debuted on HBO. But did its celebrated writer/director show any regard for the facts of the case? Or only the ones that fit his point of view? Find out how fact collides with fiction courtesy of stunning performances from Helen Mirren and Al Pacino, and a special appearance from TDPS favorite, famed prosecutor Marcia Clark.

Have you heard the news? Eric Shaw Quinn is moving into a home of his own and in true TDPS style your hosts are celebrating by focusing on the negative. On The Dinner Party Show's Facebook page, we asked our beloved Party People to share with us the worst living situations they ever endured — and how they escaped. The answers ranged from the hilarious, to the revolting to the deeply emotional. Also, what's this we hear about a very special upcoming visit from TDPS critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand? A special announcement about his much anticipated upcoming segment.

"God gave us memory so we might have roses in December." This J.M Barrie quote is one of Eric Shaw Quinn's favorites, and it's why your hosts have chosen to mark their first holiday season without our beloved Anne Rice with a special tribute series to her memory. Join us as we travel back in time to our very first live broadcast from the TDPS studio in West Hollywood where we're joined by our first guest, Anne Rice. The beloved author — and beloved mother and friend — joined us for a lively, wide-ranging interview that exemplified her fiercely independent style.

With its period costumes and not-always-terrible reenactors, the Discovery Channel series A CRIME TO REMEMBER is a TDPS favorite, but episode 6 of season 4, entitled "Guess Who?" left Christopher and Eric scratching their heads and checking the rafters. This story of marital murder in 1922 Los Angeles at first seems pretty cut and dried….until you look up. As the twists and turns unfold, Eric focuses his magnifying glass on the most important question of all — how stupid were the cops assigned to this case?

As Pride Month continues, Christopher and Eric demand more movies about gay fathers. Until they arrive, they'll have to be content with moves like JOE BELL, the real life story of a father who was forever changed by his gay son's devastating experience with high school bullying. Mark Wahlberg and Reid Miller deliver great performances, but with the same screenwriters as BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, does the movie live up the redemptive promise of its trailer? The answers are mixed, and leave Christopher and Eric with more questions. Also, Eric comes to terms with Christopher's discovery that an old TDPS contract requires the return of one of the network's most “memorable” correspondents.

"You forever changed the vampire genre. You took us into their hearts and into their souls." – Christopher Rice  As they continue to celebrate the memory of their most beloved guest — and Christopher's mother, and Eric's dear friend — your hosts serve up another "Dinner with Anne". In 2014, the menu for this particular meal was a closely guarded secret until the last possible second. When the cover on the serving dish was finally drawn back, the reveal made headlines around the world. Join us for the return of one of popular fiction's most iconic characters, and one of the most exciting nights in TDPS history, the return of Prince Lestat.

While it's technically not a tale of true crime, Christopher and Eric think some of the ancient origins of our most popular holiday traditions sound pretty criminal. Or so say the experts featured on episode 8 of season 1 of the HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAYS, entitled "The Real History of Christmas. Is Christopher right when he says caroling started as trick or treating for alcoholics? Or is that just regular trick or treating? Is Eric telling the truth when he says he remembers the original airing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? Celebrate the holidays TDPS style by spiking your egg nog with details both amusing and disturbing and whatever else lifts your spirits.

Christopher and Eric kick off "Falsely Accused Month" here at TDPS with this jaw-dropping tale of an incompetent police department more determined to control the news cycle than investigate the complex case at hand. From Season 43, Episode 27 of ABC's 20/20, entitled "Taken", we bring you the terrifying and infuriating story of Aaron Quinn and Denise Huskins, a promising young Northern California couple who awake one night to find themselves in the midst of a living nightmare. In an instant, Denise is kidnapped by a band of terrifyingly skillful assailants with a disturbing list of demands. But when Aaron calls the Vallejo Police Department, the real nightmare begins.  

The jab. The shot. The way forward. Whatever you're calling it, the COVID-19 vaccines are opening up our world again. Christopher and Eric celebrate their own vaccinations by asking you, our beloved Party People, what you plan to do once you're fully vaccinated and free to go out in the world again. But more importantly, is it fully vaccinated or fully vested? It's been a long, dark year, and then some. Time to celebrate, #TDPS style! (This episode was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, which might explain slight variations in sound quality.)

As Christopher and Eric prepare to reveal BIG news about what's ahead for "The Dinner Party Show" in 2016, their largely unqualified staff of self-appointed experts and special correspondents close out the year with a uniquely cracked holiday party. Critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand, relationship "expert" JoNell Samms, fairly imbalanced newsman Breck Artery - they're all on hand, along with some old favorites, to hear Christopher and Eric's much talked about announcement.

The Write Murder Madness tribute to mystery and detective novels continues with iconic author Patricia Cornwell ("Depraved Heart"), inventor of the forensic thriller with her bestselling Kay Scarpetta series. Plus, "Ten Little Idiots" puts a satiric TDPS spin on Agatha Christie's classic detective novel.
